What does Ford P132B code mean?

The variable geometry turbocharger (VGT) is controlled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The PCM uses an exhaust pressure (EP) sensor to monitor pressure and adjust the VGT solenoid duty cycle. The VGT solenoid receives a pulse width modulated (PWM) signal from the PCM that controls the solenoid on/off time. The VGT solenoid directs oil to a piston inside the actuator housing. The direction of oil flow to the piston increases or decreases exhaust pressure.
