Wastegate Control Solenoid Valve

WASTEGATE CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE




The wastegate control solenoid valve switches the intake air pressure passages to the wastegate controller in response to signals from the ECM. When the solenoid valve opens, the intake air pressure upstream of the turbocharger unit is applied to the wastegate controller. When the solenoid valve closes, the intake air pressure downstream of the turbocharger unit (supercharged air pressure) is applied to the wastegate controller.
