Diagnostic Test
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
- CHECK FOR AN ACTIVE DTC NOTE:
Diagnose any system voltage DTCs first if present.
- Turn the ignition on.
- With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
- Start the engine and test drive the vehicle. Perform several acceleration and deceleration events during the test drive.
- With the scan tool, read DTCs and record on the repair order.
Is the DTC active or pending?
Yes
- Go To 2
No
- Perform the INTERMITTENT DTC diagnostic procedure. Refer to INTERMITTENT CONDITION .
- CHECK FOR OTHER DTCS
- CHECK THE (N638) TURBOCHARGER SURGE VALVE 1 CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR A PARTIAL SHORT TO GROUND
- Disconnect the PCM-1 C1 harness connector.
- Check for continuity between ground and the (N638) Turbocharger Surge Valve 1 Control circuit at the Turbocharger Surge Valve 1 harness connector.
Is there continuity between ground and the (N638) Turbocharger Surge Valve 1 Control circuit?
Yes
- Repair the (N638) Turbocharger Surge Valve 1 Control circuit for a short to ground.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Go To 4
- CHECK THE TURBOCHARGER SURGE VALVE 1 CONTROL CIRCUIT OPERATION
- Reconnect the PCM-1 C1 harness connector.
- Turn the ignition on.
- With the scan tool, actuate the Turbocharger Surge Valve to 100%.
- Using a 12-volt test light connected to 12 volts, probe the (N638) Turbocharger Surge Valve 1 Control circuit in Turbocharger Surge Valve 1 harness connector.NOTE:
The test light should be illuminated and bright. Compare the brightness to that of a direct connection to the battery.
NOTE:Be certain the actuation is active when checking the circuit.
- With the scan tool, actuate the Turbocharger Surge Valve to 0%.
- Using a 12-volt test light connected to 12 volts, probe the (N638) Turbocharger Surge Valve 1 Control circuit in the Turbocharger Surge Valve 1 harness connector.NOTE:
The test light should not be illuminated.
Is the test light illuminated and bright with the actuation at 100% and not illuminated with the actuation at 0%?
Yes
- Replace the Turbocharger Surge Valve 1 in accordance with the Service Information. Refer to VALVE, SURGE, REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Go To 5
- CHECK RELATED PCM AND COMPONENT CONNECTIONS
- Perform any Service Bulletins that apply.
- Disconnect all PCM-1 harness connectors.
- Disconnect all related in-line harness connections (if equipped).
- Disconnect the related component harness connectors.
- Inspect harness connectors, component connectors, and all male and female terminals for the following conditions:
- Proper connector installation.
- Damaged connector locks.
- Corrosion.
- Other signs of water intrusion.
- Weather seal damage (if equipped).
- Bent terminals.
- Overheating due to a poor connection (terminal may be discolored due to excessive current draw).
- Terminals that have been pushed back into the connector cavity.
- Check for spread terminals and verify proper terminal tension.
Repair any conditions that are found.
- Reconnect all PCM-1 harness connectors. Be certain that all harness connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
- Reconnect all in-line harness connectors (if equipped). Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
- Reconnect all related component harness connectors. Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
- With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
- Test drive or operate the vehicle in accordance with the when monitored and set conditions.
- With the scan tool, read DTCs.
