Observe all safety precautions: SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
View clean working conditions: CLEAN WORKING CONDITIONS
Prior to repair work, perform a preliminary check to verify the condition. Refer to PRELIMINARY CHECK .
Use only gold-plated terminals when servicing any component with gold-plated electrical harness connector terminals.
See Appropriate Wiring Diagram Information for component locations and connector views.
Special Tools And Workshop Equipment Required
- Multimeter.
- Wiring diagram.
Test Requirements
- The Motronic 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.

Start Diagnosis
-- Remove the engine cover with air filter.
Checking internal resistance
-- Disconnect the Wastegate Bypass Regulator Valve -N75- electrical harness connector.
-- Using a multimeter, check the Wastegate Bypass Regulator Valve -N75- terminals 1 to 2 for resistance.
Specified Value: 12 To 18 Ω (At Approx. 20° C)
If The Specified Value Was Not Obtained:
-- Replace the Wastegate Bypass Regulator Valve -N75- Refer to the Repair information.
If The Specified Value Was Obtained:
Checking Voltage supply
-- Start the engine.
-- Using a multimeter, check the Wastegate Bypass Regulator Valve -N75- 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 a short circuit to ground, high resistance or an open circuit.
-- Check fuse 23 (2010 Model) or fuse 5 (2011 Model) in Fuse Panel B for open and replace if blown. Refer to Appropriate Wiring Diagrams for fuse locations.
-- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.
-- If necessary, repair the wiring connection.
If The Specified Value Was Obtained:
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 Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) -J623-.
-- Using a multimeter, check the Wastegate Bypass Regulator Valve -N75- electrical harness connector terminal to the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) -J623- electrical harness connector terminal for an open circuit.

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 If The Voltage Supply Was OK:
-- Replace the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) -J623-.
-- Install the engine cover with air filter.
Final Procedures
After the repair work, the following work steps must be performed in the following sequence:
- Check the DTC memory. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC MODE 03 - READ DTC MEMORY .
- If necessary, erase the DTC memory. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC MODE 04 - ERASE DTC MEMORY .
- If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code. Refer to READINESS CODE .
