The P0247 code indicates that there is a turbocharger wastegate solenoid B malfunction.
When the P0247 code appears on your vehicle, it means that the powertrain control module has found readings that are not normal for the turbocharger wastegate solenoid B. This could indicate some type of malfunction.
The following are the most common causes for the P0247 code.
There can be a number of symptoms associated with the P0247 code. You may notice that the engine acceleration is reduced. The turbocharger might also make some sounds that it shouldn’t be making such as a rattling or a whining sound. The exhaust might be producing more smoke than usual. The spark plugs could be fouled, the temperature in the engine and/or the transmission could be higher than normal, and the vehicle’s engine may no longer perform as well as it should. Quite often, there will be other codes that accompany the P0247 code. These can include knock sensor codes, engine misfire codes, and other codes relating to the turbocharger.
When a mechanic diagnoses the P0247 code, they will be using an OBD-II scanner. They simply connect the scanner to the vehicle’s onboard diagnostics computer and access the data that it has been storing. They can use the scanner to further diagnose the vehicle. The mechanics will also want to reset the code. They do this so they can then test the car to see if the code comes back. This helps them to rule out false positives and allows them to provide the proper diagnosis. They will also want to check out the entire turbocharger system to make sure that they do not miss anything.
One of the most common mistakes when diagnosing the P0247 code is not diagnosing the entire wastegate system. It is important to diagnose the entire system so you can repair the proper part.
As evidenced by all of the potential symptoms that your vehicle could suffer, the P0247 code is very serious. It can have a severe effect on the performance of your vehicle. If this code is present, it is quite likely that there are other codes affecting your vehicle as well.
