Fault Code: 958 PID: P27 SPN: 2795 FMI: 2 LAMP: Amber SRT: |
VGT Position Sensor – Data erratic, intermittent, or incorrect. Intermittent variable geometry turbocharger (VGT) position information is being received by the electronic control module (ECM). |
Possible low power. Power to the turbocharger actuator will be limited. |
![]() Variable Geometry Turbocharger (VGT) Position Sensor Circuit

Circuit Description
The turbocharger position sensor outputs a voltage signal to the ECM. The ECM converts this signal into a percentage value, 0 to 100 percent, indicating turbocharger position. A fully closed turbocharger actuator is equivalent to 100 percent.
Component Location
The turbocharger position sensor is located on the variable geometry turbocharger (VGT) actuator assembly. Refer to Procedure 100-002 for a detailed component location view.
