Where does p1297 generally indicate a leak?

p1297 generally indicates a leak between the turbocharger and the throttle intake pipe, meaning there is a leak between the turbocharger/throttle valve or a loose hose connection. Here is some information about turbochargers: 1. A turbocharger utilizes the inertial force of exhaust gases from the engine to drive a turbine, which in turn drives a coaxial impeller to boost intake pressure, thereby increasing the car's power. After troubleshooting the car issue, it is necessary to clear the fault code. 2. When clearing the fault code, it is essential to follow the specific fault code clearing method prescribed for the corresponding vehicle model. Under no circumstances should the negative terminal of the battery be disconnected arbitrarily to clear the car's fault code. Otherwise, it may lead to the following two issues: (1) Some vehicle models' control computers may lose 'experience memory.' After easily disconnecting the negative terminal's ground wire, the engine operation data stored in RAM (Random Access Memory) will be automatically cleared, resulting in poor performance of your car for a considerable period after repair. Moreover, the previously handled fault code may reappear after a short period of driving. (2) Sometimes, it may also cause some useful functions to malfunction, such as frequently losing the audio lock function. In such cases, to restore normal operation of the audio system, it is necessary to re-repair the audio system.
