P003A
P003A-TURBOCHARGER BOOST CONTROL MODULE POSITION EXCEEDED LEARNING LIMIT
For a complete wiring diagram, refer to the Wiring Information.
Theory of Operation
The Variable Geometry Turbocharger (VGT) is electronically controlled by the Electronic Turbo Actuator. The Electronic Turbo Actuator is a smart device; it communicates information with the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) over the CAN C BUS. The Electronic Turbo Actuator performs its own internal diagnostics and reports failures back to the PCM. The PCM then decodes the error message and converts it to a fault code. The PCM lights the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) after the diagnostic runs and fails in two consecutive drive cycles. The PCM will turn off the MIL immediately after this diagnostic runs and passes in four (4) consecutive drive cycles.
- When Monitored:
With the ignition on.
- Set Condition:
The VGT Actuator calibrated end-stops were not detected.
Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting Procedure.
ACTIVE DTC
1. Turn ignition on, engine not running.
2. With the scan tool, read DTCs
