Test procedure
- Perform a preliminary check to verify the customers complaint. Refer to => [ Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623), replacing ] Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623).
Start diagnosis
- Remove the engine cover with air filter.
Checking internal resistance
- Disconnect the Wastegate Bypass Regulator Valve (N75) electrical harness connector- 1 -.
- Using a multimeter, check the Wastegate Bypass Regulator Valve (N75) terminals 1 to 2 for resistance.
Specified value: 20 to 30 ohms (at approx. 20° C)
If the specification was not obtained:
- Replace the Wastegate Bypass Regulator Valve (N75).
If the specification was obtained:
Checking Voltage supply
- Using a multimeter, check the Wastegate Bypass Regulator Valve (N75) electrical harness connector terminal 1 to Ground (GND).
- Operate the starter briefly.
Specified value: battery voltage.
- Switch the ignition off.
If the specification was not obtained:
- Check the wiring for a short circuit to Battery positive (+) or an open circuit.
- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.
- If necessary, repair the wiring connection.
If no malfunction is 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 => [ Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623), replacing ] Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623).
- Using a multimeter, check the Wastegate Bypass Regulator Valve (N75) electrical harness connector terminal 2 to the Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623) electrical harness connector T60 terminal 4 for resistance.
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, loose or broken terminals.
- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.
- Erase the DTC memory. Refer to => [ Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory ] Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory.
- Perform a road test to verify repair.
If the DTC does not return:
Repair complete, Generate readiness code. Refer to => [ Readiness Code ] Engine.
- End diagnosis.
If the DTC does return and no malfunction is detected in the wiring and the voltage supply was OK:
- Replace the Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623). Refer to => [ Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623), replacing ] Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623).
- Assembly is performed in the reverse of the removal.
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 Mode 03 - Read DTC Memory.
2. If necessary, erase the DTC memory. Refer to => [ Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory ] Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory.
3. If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code. Refer to => [ Readiness Code ] Engine.
End of diagnosis
