Code P068A after bov install (SOLVED)

[Wyatt4944]

Question:
Did by chance was the TCU commanding an update of health check at this moment?
You will know what I am talking about if you have ever been near the truck and you all of a sudden hear the- Waste Gate Actuator - Self Test (Cycle)
The PCM Power Relay has to be closed for that to happen and it self-times out in 3-minutes (opens)
and or
Did you disconnect the By-Pass valve connector shortly after opening / closing the driver's door.
I am thinking a deeper in-depth diagnosis that coincides with my above theory (short)
that the PCM Power Relay had power on it at the time you disconnected the connector.
The wiggling of the connector and or the power break when it was disconnected, back fed the relay and it - opened the coil power control, before the PCM commanded to remove the ground for it.
(Too Early-Code)

This would explain why it coded at this time and explain why you had an issue with the PB Start Cycle - The PCM was lost as it still had a commanded (Ground) on the relay and it took a (Key Cycle) to get it back in sequence.
So as long as the (PB Start issue) only happened the first start cycle - this may just be a Fluke of bad timing.
If you are still having (PB-Start) issues along with the Brake Ligh issue, then we need to address this.

So, I am leaning more towards this just being a Fluke - bad timing of events that triggered the code.
But to possibly help in diagnosing (if the BOV) itself is causing it, we can try checking the internal resistance of the (Components) BOV & By-Pass valve.
This will at least give an idea if the BOV is internally causing the issue.

Ohms Scale:
Measure between Pins 1 & 2 on both valves - to be accurate have them at the same temperature
(ambient)

Should be: 5-60 Ohms - This is the spec from the manuals, if the new (BOV) is considerably higher than the (OE) valve or out of these specs - I would say the BOV is highly suspect.

I am also thinking that you have 2 separate issues here that just happened to show up at the same time vs my initial though of them being tied together, they still can be-but we need to tackle the (Brake Light) issue first - Most Important and then see if we can get the relay code to clear.

Also, the Brake Pedal Position switch, from what I can tell does not have an (Install Adjustment) it just mounts on a bracket (1/4 Turn) lock in place.
This is different than older style of switches where you had to adjust them.

Hey thank you man for helping me in trying to fix this code after hours i finally found out what happened my break lights still worked when the car was completely off so i knew it was not the breaks I thought it might have been the abs sensor so i tried that still nothing but when i was going through all the fuses under the dash again i unplugged my security system fuse and that solved the issue I guess this was just one crazy coincidence My ranger is now code free without a check engine light and a killer bov ! I think when i drove around the block my knee hit the numpad for the security system and it locked the truck from going into drive. and threw me a u0100-00 and a P068A code.

Awesome you got it fixed… now you can make your truck sneeze all around town without worry.?
