Turbocharger Recirculating Valve N249, Checking (AMB Engine Code)

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required
- Multimeter.
- Wiring diagram.

Test requirements







- The Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) J220 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 (GND) connections between engine/transmission/chassis OK.
- Ignition switched off.

Procedure







- Remove the engine cover with filter.

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: 20 to 30 ohms (at approx. 20 degrees C)

If the specification was not obtained:
- Replace the Turbocharger Recirculating Valve N249.

If the specification was obtained:

Checking Voltage supply







- Using a multimeter, check the Turbocharger Recirculating Valve N249 electrical harness connector terminal 1 to Ground (GND).

- Operate the starter briefly.
Specified value: battery voltage.
- Switch the ignition off.

If the specified value was not obtained:
- Check the wiring for a short circuit to each other, Battery (+), and Ground (GND).
- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, lose 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 Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) J220.







- Using a multimeter , check the Turbocharger Recirculating Valve N249 electrical harness connector terminal 2 to Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) J220 electrical harness connector terminal 105 for an open circuit.

Specified value: 1.5 Ohms max.

If the specification is not obtained:
- Check the wiring for a short circuit to each other, Battery (+), and Ground (GND).
- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, lose 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) J220.
- Install the engine cover with air filter.

Final procedures
After the repair work, the following work steps must be performed in the following sequence:
1. Check the DTC memory. Diagnostic Mode 03 - Read DTC Memory
2. If necessary, erase the DTC memory. Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory
3. If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code.

- End of diagnosis.
