STAR ONLINE PUBLICATION Case Number: S2018000007 Release Date: 9/01/2020 Symptom/Vehicle Issue: (Revision A) Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0299 – Turbocharger Underboost Additional Diagnostics Discussion: When diagnosing a vehicle that has set DTC P0299, it is always important to closely follow the normal published diagnostics for the DTC. In addition to performing the steps outlined in the diagnostic flow chart, please also refer to the additional diagnostic steps listed below to ensure a proper repair. Diagnosis: 1. Remove, and inspect the engine air filter. Ensure that the air filter is clean, and is an OEM replacement. Several reports have been received from the field of some aftermarket replacement air filters causing this DTC to set. These filters may look very similar to filters available through Mopar. If the filter is an aftermarket filter, swap the filter with the proper Mopar replacement, and retest the DTC. 2. Ensure that the Charge Air Cooler (CAC) system is properly pressure tested per the steps outlined in Service Library Service Information Section 09 – Engine, 6.7L Diesel > Turbocharger System > Diagnosis and Testing – Leaks. While performing the CAC leak testing, pay close attention to the CAC boot connected to the turbo outlet for leaks caused by the wire harness rubbing through the boot. Please see (Figure 1).
