P0299Powertrain
Turbocharger boost pressure too low
Where to start
The turbo is not making the commanded boost. Before blaming the turbo itself, check the charge pipes and clamps: a pipe that popped off gives exactly this code and costs nothing to fix. After that comes the control valve and intake leaks.
What to watch in live data
A code is not a diagnosis. It says which check failed, not which part to replace. Clearing it without repair only means the car will report it again in a few trips.

How the app helps
CarScan reads this code from your car through an OBD-II adapter, shows whether it is active now or only stored, names the module that reported it, and puts it into a plain-text report for your mechanic.
