P0046 code

[shbhightower]

Hello all,

A few days ago while I was accelerating, all my boost cut off and my brake system and traction control lights went off. After that happened, I wasn’t building any boost at all. After re-flashing my car, the issue went away. The same issue happened again today, and now I’m wondering what could be the problem. Checked all the wiring and it seemed to be fine. Has anyone else had this issue before? Anybody know what could be wrong?

thanks.

Sounds like you went into limp mode. That code relates to the wastegate control actuator position sensor. Could be wiring, the sensor, the actuator arm or something else.

If you're tuned have you added your car to my community tuning thread here?

That may be a broken wire on the EWG or a problem with the EWG itself.

could be something with the tune ?

he posted a video on facebook. he showed his EWG actuator flopping around like mine. his bracket has also broke similar to mine. who would've thunk? maybe @PRL Motorsports will come up with a solution to fix the issue.

It's amazing how many times people start a thread looking for help, we give them help and they never return. Odd.
