Check engine light - trouble codes???

I had my 05 F250 6.0 scanned today for a check engine light. Came up with 2 codes...P0299 & P2290. Does anyone know what they mean and what would make them come on? They were cleared out and the check engine light hasnt come back on yet. <!-- / message --><!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: ad_showthread_firstpost_sig --><!-- END TEMPLATE: ad_showthread_firstpost_sig --><!-- sig -->

p0299 is a underboost/overboost code, p2290 is an icp circuit code. Have you had any power or boost issues? Or any hard starts or surging?

P2290 actually means icp was too low at some point during the drive cycle

turbo underboost = ****ty day. if you have a scan tool that will monitor pids check your vgt percentage. if it drops really low (below 35%) at WOT than you have a sticking turbo. then you have to take it off, seperate it and clean the hell out of it and make sure your unison ring is still good.

Yes, take it in and let Ford pay for it. Of course you will have to tell them what codes you had since you had them erased.

Found this on another thread by one of our FTE Techs m-chan68
A P0299 Turbo Underboost code can set by numerous causes, namely a leak on the intake side between the turbo, charge air cooler and intake, a biased or improperly functioning EBP sensor, a leak on the exhaust side between the exhaust manifold and turbo up-pipe to the turbo, a restricted exhaust or restricted (plugged up) intake and a stuck VGT unison ring. Now your job is to pinpoint which of the above is causing the code to set.

It should be CHRA--center housing rotating assembly or something very similar to that. Basically the center part of your turbo.
