P123A Meaning
The powertrain control module (PCM) monitors the barometric pressure sensor (BARO) and the turbocharger (TC)/supercharger (SC) boost pressure sensor “A”. The PCM sets the OBDII code when the barometric pressure sensor (BARO) and the turbocharger (TC)/supercharger (SC) boost pressure sensor “A” do not meet factory specifications.
