About P024F

P024F is a generic (obd-ii standard) powertrain diagnostic trouble code. It belongs to the P-prefix family of codes, which covers engine, transmission, emissions, or fuel-system faults.

When P024F is stored, the module has detected a signal or supply voltage higher than the expected operating range; a bank-specific fault, meaning it applies only to one cylinder bank of a multi-bank engine; and a sensor-related fault — the reported value from the named sensor is out of spec.

Scanning & clearing: A generic OBD-II scan tool will usually read and clear powertrain (P) codes. For live data, freeze-frame capture, and bi-directional tests you may need a more capable scan tool that supports the vehicle's ECM protocol.

Because P024F is a generic OBD-II code, its base definition is shared across manufacturers. The specific diagnostic steps, reference values, and repair procedures can vary by vehicle, and the TaT Diagnostic Assistant includes verified procedures submitted by working technicians.

Code Information

The P024F fault code is set when the Engine Control Module (ECM) detects that the signal from the intercooler bypass position sensor in Bank 1, Sensor 1, is higher than the expected range. This high signal condition often points to a potential short to power or an issue within the sensor itself, causing it to output a signal voltage that is excessively high. The ECM relies on this sensor for accurate monitoring of the intercooler bypass valve position, and a high signal can disrupt proper turbocharger system functioning.
