This is what I saw listed as probale cause -GND short, plugged hose/port, wastegate solenoid, wastegate actuator
Wastegate problem could cause loss of boost which can lower MPG.
The wastgate solenoid is mounted on the front of the spider. Check to make sure the connector is tight. The red line from the wastgate actuator runs to it as well as a green line from the intake hose that goes to turbo. Check those lines.
Picture of wastgate solenoid. It may be mounted vertically as well.
I have no idea on how to check for the GND(ground) short. This is all the help I can give unless I think of something else. At least you will get a bump up the list.

From the manual ...:
- DTC P1249 indicates that the PCM detected the turbo was overboosting.
- Possible causes:
- short to ground
- plugged WGC hose or port
- WGC solenoid
- WGC actuator
- WGC valve
- damaged PCM
- Perform KOEO On-Demand Self Test.

I put My truck on stock tune about a 6 weeks ago to check fuel millage(thought that was killing my millage). Checked codes and it was there. Was not there when I put it back to stock. Truck seems to run fine, just have poor fuel millage. Checked and changed fuel filter,changed air filter,changed oil, and cleaned EBPV and tube.
