Quick answer

P023600 is identified in the supplied Audi material as “Turbocharger Boost Sensor (A) Circuit Range/Performance.” The verified source material associates it with a check-engine lamp on a 2022 Audi Q3 2.0, not with the listed e-tron or e-tron GT applicability entries. For the supplied EV applicability, the relevance of this turbocharger-related code is not yet established by verified evidence.

This page separates verified manufacturer/regulator evidence from supporting material. Unsupported causes, repairs or safety conclusions are not guessed.

2. Technical explanation

The supplied diagnostic record labels P023600 as a Turbocharger Boost Sensor (A) circuit range/performance fault. Official NHTSA-hosted Audi manufacturer communications for the 2022 Q3 2.0 identify the check-engine lamp and DTCs P010600, P023600, P023700, and P023800 in connection with a boost-pressure-sensor diagnostic worksheet. The supplied evidence does not establish a specific failed component, wiring fault, or repair for P023600.

3. What system is affected?

Turbocharger boost sensor (A) circuit, according to the supplied diagnostic title. A vehicle system assignment beyond that is not yet established by verified evidence.

4. How serious is this code?

Unknown. The supplied diagnostic record lists severity as unknown.

5. Symptoms you may notice

  • Check-engine lamp on is documented in the supplied Audi manufacturer communication for a 2022 Q3 2.0 with P023600.
  • Additional symptoms are not yet established by verified evidence.

6. Possible causes

  • Not yet established by verified evidence. The official worksheet calls for harness wiggle testing, pin-fitment and pin-drag checks, and circuit-resistance checking if needed, but the supplied excerpt does not identify a confirmed cause.

7. Can I still drive the vehicle?

Unknown. The supplied diagnostic record lists safe-to-drive status as unknown.

8. Can I charge the vehicle?

Unknown. The supplied diagnostic record lists safe-to-charge status as unknown.

9. What you can safely do
