Turbocharger wastegate
Result: Diagnostic codes became active during the "Air System Motor Valves Verification Test"
Repair: Troubleshoot the diagnostic codes. Refer to Troubleshooting, Diagnostic Trouble Codes.
If the wastegate is not operating correctly, disconnect the linkage from the actuator by removing the circlips. Check the crank on the turbine housing for free movement. If the crank moves freely, replace the wastegate actuator.
Use the electronic service tool to perform the "Air System Motor Valve Verification Test" to verify that the repair eliminates the fault.
If the crank does not move freely, replace the turbocharger assembly. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly , Turbocharger - Remove and Disassembly and Assembly , Turbocharger - Install.
If the turbocharger is replaced, use the electronic service tool to perform the "Turbocharger Wastegate Actuator Replacement Reset".
Use the electronic service tool to perform the "Air System Motor Valve Verification Test" to verify that the repair eliminates the fault.
Result: There is a suspected fault in the wastegate or the wastegate actuator.
Repair: Replace the turbocharger. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Turbocharger - Remove" and Disassembly and Assembly, "Turbocharger - Install".
If the turbocharger is replaced, use the electronic service tool to perform the "Turbocharger Wastegate Actuator Replacement Reset".
Use the electronic service tool to perform the "Air System Motor Valve Verification Test" to verify that the repair eliminates the fault.
Result: The wastegate and the wastegate actuator operate correctly.
Proceed to Test Step 6.
6. Turbocharger
A. Check that the compressor housing for the turbocharger is free of dirt and debris.
B. Check that the turbine housing for the turbocharger is free of dirt and debris.
C. Check that the turbine blades rotate freely in the turbocharger.
