Diagnostic Procedures
Turbocharger Recirculating Valve, Checking
Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required
• Multimeter.
• Wiring diagram.
Test requirements
• The Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623) fuses OK.
• Battery voltage at least 12.5 volts.
• All electrical consumers such as, lights and rear window defroster, switched off.
• On vehicles with automatic transmission, selector lever in position " P" or "N".
• A/C switched off.
• Ground connections between engine/transmission/chassis OK.
• Ignition switched OFF.
Test procedure
- Perform a preliminary check to verify the customers complaint. Refer to => [ Preliminary Check ] Preliminary Check
Start diagnosis
- Lift the vehicle on a hoist to access the turbocharger recirculating valve connector.
Checking internal resistance
- Disconnect the Turbocharger Recirculating Valve (N249) electrical harness connector- 2 -.
- Using a multimeter, check the Turbocharger Recirculating Valve (N249) terminals 1 to 2 for resistance.
Specified value: 13.6 ohms +/- 5 ohms (at room temperature)
If the specified value was Not obtained:
- Replace the Turbocharger Recirculating Valve (N249). Refer to the Repair Information.
If the specified value was obtained:
Checking Voltage supply
- Using a multimeter, check the Turbocharger Recirculating Valve (N249) electrical harness connector terminal 1 to engine ground for voltage.
- Start the engine.
Specified value: Battery voltage.
- Switch the ignition OFF.
If the specified value was Not obtained:
- Check the wiring from the Turbocharger Recirculating Valve (N249) to fuse 20 in Fuse Box B for an open, short circuit to each other, high resistance or short to ground.
- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.
- If necessary, repair the wiring connection.
If no malfunctions are found in the wiring:
Checking wiring
If the manufacturers test box is being used, perform the following step.
- Install the test box.
If the manufacturers test box is not being used, perform the following step.
- Remove the Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623). Refer to the Repair Information.
- Using a multimeter, check the Turbocharger Recirculating Valve (N249) electrical harness connector terminal to Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623) electrical harness connector T60 for an open circuit.
Specified value: 1.5 ohms max.
If the specified value was Not obtained:
- Check the wiring for an open or high resistance.
- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.
- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.
If no malfunction is detected in the wiring and if the voltage supply was OK:
- Replace the Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623). Refer to the Repair Information.
- Install the engine cover with air filter. Refer to the Repair Information.
Final procedures
After the repair work, the following work steps must be performed in the following sequence:
1. Check the DTC memory. Refer to => [ Diagnostic Mode 03 - Read DTC Memory ] Diagnostic Modes 01 - 0A.
2. If necessary, erase the DTC memory. Refer to => [ Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory ] Diagnostic Modes 01 - 0A.
3. If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code. Refer to => [ Readiness Code ] Monitors, Trips, Drive Cycles and Readiness Codes.
