Turbocharger Recirculating Valve, Checking

Special tools and workshop equipment 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 

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 Ω +/- 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 

-- Start the engine.

-- Using a multimeter, check the Turbocharger Recirculating Valve -N249- electrical harness connector terminal 1 to engine ground.

Specified value: Battery voltage.

-- Switch the ignition OFF.

If the specified value was Not obtained:

-- Check the wiring 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 the specified value was obtained:

Checking wiring 

-- 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 2 to Engine Control Module (ECM) -J623- electrical harness connector T60 terminal 50 for an open circuit.

Turbocharger Recirculating Valve -N249- electrical harness connector terminal:	Engine Control Module (ECM) -J623- electrical connector T60 terminal:
2	50

Specified value: 1.5 Ω 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 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 .
2. If necessary, erase the DTC memory. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC MODE 04 - ERASE DTC MEMORY .
3. If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code. Refer to READINESS CODE .
