P22D5 Turbocharger Turbine Inlet Valve Position Sensor Circuit Range/Performance
Position sensor in range but plausibility fails — does not match commanded position. Boost control tracks commanded vs. actual manifold pressure; persistent deviation means wastegate, vanes, hose or actuator are not delivering the requested pressure.
Is it safe to drive with P22D5?
Usually safe to drive in the short term. Get it diagnosed when convenient, sooner if the car drives differently.
