You can start with this,,, 475 won't set a light as far as I know, it will show a code


A little reading,,,,
D5 KOEO DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) P0237
  • DTC P0237 indicates turbo boost sensor A circuit low input.
  • Possible causes:
    • MAP signal circuit open, shorted to ground, shorted to B+ , or shorted to VREF
    • open or shorted VREF circuit
    • open or shorted signal return circuit
    • damaged MAP sensor
    • damaged PCM
  • Key off.
  • Disconnect MAP sensor connector.
  • Connect the MAP sensor tester between the vehicle harness connector and the MAP sensor.
  • Insert the MAP sensor tester banana plugs into a digital multimeter. Note: Green light on tester indicates VREF is OK (4.5-5.5 volts) and signal return is OK. Red light indicates VREF is either too low or too high. No lights indicate VREF or signal return are open or shorted.
  • Key on.
Is green light on?

D6 MAP SIGNAL SHORT TO GROUND CHECK
  • Disconnect PCM, inspect for damaged or pushed-out pins, corrosion and loose wires. Service as necessary.
  • Install breakout box. Leave PCM disconnected.
  • Disconnect MAP sensor harness connector.
  • Measure resistance between Pin 34 (49 State except Econoline) or Pin 88 (California and all Econoline) and Pins 25, 51, 76, 77, 91, 103.
Is each resistance greater than 10,000 ohms?

D7 MAP SIGNAL SHORT TO VOLTAGE CHECK
  • PCM disconnected.
  • MAP sensor connector disconnected.
  • Key on/engine off.
  • Measure resistance between Pin 34 (49 State except Econoline) or Pin 88 (California and all Econoline) and Pins 55, 71 and 97 at the breakout box.
Is each resistance greater than 10,000 ohms?

D8 MAP SIGNAL SHORT TO VREF CHECK
  • PCM disconnected.
  • MAP sensor connector disconnected.
  • Key off.
  • Measure resistance between Pin 34 (49 State except Econoline) or Pin 88 (California and all Econoline) and Pin 90 at the breakout box.
Is resistance greater than 10,000 ohms?

D9 MAP SIGNAL CONTINUITY CHECK
  • PCM disconnected.
  • MAP sensor connector disconnected.
  • Measure resistance between Pin 34 (49 State except Econoline) or Pin 88 (California and all Econoline) at breakout box and Circuit 358 (LG/BK) at the MAP harness connector.
Is resistance less than 5 ohms?

D11 VREF VOLTAGE CHECK
  • Disconnect MAP sensor tester connector from MAP sensor, leaving it connected to vehicle harness.
  • Key on/engine off.
Is green light on tester now on?
