First long haul and I have a couple of Codes I need help on.

I just pulled the trailer to the lake, about 4.5hrs each way. It is the furthest I have pulled the trailer. I pulled two codes that I need your input on what they mean or their importance.

* P0236 Turbo Boost Sensor A Circuit Performance
* P0603 Internal Control Module KAM Error

Are these critical? The truck seemed to run fine. Trailer is about 7500lbs, the temp was about 90* outside. Got 10mpg.

I had the same codes along with 1211 a month ago or so when I pulled them after I pulled the trailer. I lugged it hard and threw the 1211, kinda knew that. The others, 0603 could just be from batteries unplugged, usually no biggy there. 0236 I read could be map sensor related, what color of map do you have? Like I said I threw the same codes and my truck is running fine so I'm not concerned at all now.

My MAP is grey. On the 0603, that is exactly what it was. I unhooked batteries to remove starter to fix dipstick. I am just going to clear them and check and see if I get them again. Truck runs fine otherwise. No more oil drip off the dipstick flang is really, really nice by the way!

I get the 1211 all the time when pulling real hard and the rpm's drop off really fast when topping a hill with the cruise on. Darin, you say you get it by lugging it? strange!

Actually it happened just like yours did glenn. As soon as I crested a hill I was just lugging it in od, no cruise, just pissing around really, and set it.
