Turbocharger Inlet Pressure (TCIP) Sensor

The TCIPT sensor is located in the intake air tube between the air filter assembly and the turbocharger. The TCIP sensor measures the turbocharger intake pressure. The PCM uses the information from the TCIP sensor to determine if the airflow to the turbocharger is being restricted by a clogged air filter or other debris. On some vehicles the TCIP sensor is integrated with the MAF/IAT sensor.
