Default boost at idle sluggish when driving

2012 6.7 cumin efi live 5 position cts 2 monitor was getting a p0653 code so after changing the map sensor crank position sensor mass airflow sensor and the iat sensor I now am reading 7.5 psi of boost at idle and the truck seems sluggish when driving any ideas what this could be I'm stumped

That’s what I thought but what would cause 7.5 psi at idle new map sensor mass air and oat and crank position

the code is for the 5 volt reference voltage to all the sensors and more that you just listed. This sensor supply circuit provides a 5-Volt supply to the Camshaft Position Sensor, Inlet Air Temperature/Pressure Sensor, Exhaust Pressure Sensor, Fuel Pressure Sensor, Boost Pressure/CAC Temperature, EGR Valve, Fan Clutch Assembly, and Crankcase Pressure Sensor.

Its seems more likely the problem is a short to voltage (or bad pcm) on the common supply wire that feeds all these sensors than every individual sensor going bad at the same time.


remove all pressure sensor connectors for each sensor and measure the 5volt ref circuit...if its over 5.1 volts at key on engine off...there is the problem.

i was thinking that maybe the better way would be to unplug one sensor and measure the voltage. If its over 5.1, start unplugging the other sensors one at a time, monitoring a return to 5.0 volts.

Ok so I’m checkin the wire to the sensor not the resistance of the sensor itself correct?

Yep. Voltage TO the sensor.
