when getting a jump start cause the check engine light to come on and create a P0106 code?

Question

why the check engine light came on after getting a jump start from another car

Answer 1

Hi there,

Jump starting from another car should not cause this code or any code. It is possible there was a voltage spike when the cables were removed that could cause the issue. if it burned one of the wires in the sensor it would be possible. It's pretty unlikely but it could happen.
