Just a few codes.

Have been getting a intermittent check enhine light so I had the codes pulled.
238-high boost (I know why)
1249-
743-tcc system (I added a switch)
487-
470-exhaust backpressure sensor malfunction
1211-
541-
The 4 I can't read the hand writing any help in what they are and are caused by would be great. thanks.

1249-Wastegate fail steady state test, couldn't find 487, 1211-icp not controlable-pressure above below desirable, 541-manifold intake air heater.

The 1211 i got when i put my chip in. It will set off the cel and then it will reset in about a minute. I am assuming you have a chip, i bought an overboost regulater from itpdiesel.com. It goes inline before your map sensor and regulates the pressure that the map sensor sees, you still have high boost but your map sensor only sees 23 psi or less so it won't set off the codes, it tricks it. Hope that made sense. The other ones i don't know about. Here is a link to codes https://www.ford-trucks.com/article/..._Overview.html

487? - I'm thinking it is 478 and is tied in with 470 -Check the EBP Sensor and tube to make sure it is not clogged. Unless you have deleted the EBP Valve and solenoid then this page http://www.puredieselpower.com/catal...45.html?page=1 has a couple of item to cure the code

541 - Have you deleted the Intake Air heater - If not then either the element or relay has gone south. If you have deleted the IAH This http://www.puredieselpower.com/catal...541-p-109.html will eliminate the code

1249 can be tied to 238 if the light only comes on when you overboost its nothing to worry about. The overboost regulator Ponch mentioned will cure this

That's caused from the chip. It's demanding oil pressure that your HPOP can't supply. More than likely it's just not strong enough to go much more over stock. A chip or tuner demands more oil to drive the injectors. The HPOP's that are found on our trucks work fine under stock programming, but when you try and demand more, they fall flat on their face. It doesn't hurt anything, it just means you can't take advantage of the programming and power from that chip.

with 1249 If you have a MAP regulator then look for a leak in the wastegate tubing.

1211 is ICP Above/below desired all it means is the HPOP is providing to much/not enuff oil pressure as the PCM is calling for
