Turbo Control Fault:
Fault codes P132A and P132B indicate turbo actuator errors. Ignoring them can cause limp mode, loss of boost, or engine performance issues.
What Do Ford Fault Codes P132A & P132B Mean?
These codes are logged when the ECU detects an issue with the turbocharger actuator motor or its control circuit. They are common on Ford vehicles equipped with Hella or Garrett turbochargers and indicate that the actuator is not operating as commanded by the ECU.
