Hey guys, so I'm trying to figure this code out. It's never popped until I gave my fiesta a heart transplant so it's kind of hard to pin down. I just need some places to look. Check my profile for mods, it's a lot. The only thing I could think to do was reseat the cel defender. I will be checking cables leading to it today but just wanted to ask the crowd and get y'all's take on this.

Isn't this the boost control solenoid?

Yessir. But I'm not sure if the solenoid is defective or if my cel defender broke.

The defender is for the BPV if and when it is deleted or if you don't have your tuner turn of the light instead . The Boost control solenoid blocks boost from getting to the wastegate actuator as it runs off Vacuum.

Hm, so is there a fuse that controls the solenoid

Emission fuse #24 . Under the hood. ....just for Shits.

If I do need to switch out the solenoids this shits expensive. They sure are proud of this.

Fuse is good bought a new solenoid from slopoke for way cheaper then dealer price and new. Hopefully it fixes my issue.

Did you ever fix this issue? Currently chasing it.

 

[Rocketst]

Yep I did. The wiring harness for the solenoid got caught in my belts and chewed up wires. I soldered the connections back together and taped them real good and made sure they were out of the way. Haven't had it pop since.

Dang thats rough. Easy fix at least.

 

[Rocketst]

Yep. It didn't NEED soldered if you don't have a soldering iron. But it's added security.
