DTC P0243: Turbocharger Wastegate Solenoid CircuitTurbocharger Westegate Solenoid Circuit Part 1:
Turbocharger Westegate Solenoid Circuit Part 2:
CIRCUIT OPERATION
- The turbocharger wastegate solenoid power is supplied from the MFI relay (terminal No.4).
- The ECM controls the turbocharger wastegate solenoid ground by turning the power transistor in the ECM "ON" and "OFF".
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
- To judge if there is open circuit in the turbocharger wastegate solenoid drive circuit, ECM measures the surge voltage of the turbocharger wastegate solenoid coil.
- The ECM drives the turbocharger wastegate solenoid. After the solenoid is turned off, the ECM will check if the solenoid coil produces a surge voltage of 2 volts or more.
DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS
- If a surge current is not generated in the coil after the turbocharger wastegate solenoid has been actuated, an open circuit is determined to have occurred.
MONITOR EXECUTION
- Continuous
MONITOR EXECUTION CONDITIONS (Other monitor and Sensor)

DIAGNOSIS
Required Special Tools:
- MB991958: Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)
- MB991824: V.C.I.
- MB991827: USB Cable
- MB991911: Main Harness B
STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, check actuator test item 10: turbocharger wastegate solenoid.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before connecting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.
1. Connect scan tool MB991958 to the data link connector.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
3. Set scan tool MB991958 to the actuator test mode for item 12, turbocharger wastegate solenoid.
- An operation sound should be heard and vibration should be felt when the turbocharger wastegate solenoid is operated.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the solenoid operating properly?
YES: It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent.
NO: Go to Step 2.
STEP 2. Check harness connector B-26 at the turbocharger wastegate solenoid for damage.
Q: Is the harness connector in good condition?
YES: Go to Step 3.
NO: Repair or replace it. Then go to Step 12.
STEP 3 Check the turbocharger wastegate solenoid.
1. Disconnect the turbocharger wastegate solenoid connector B-26.
2. Measure the resistance between turbocharger wastegate solenoid side connector terminal No.1 and No.2.
Standard value: 29 - 35 Ohms [at 20 degrees C (68 degrees F)]
Q: Is the measured resistance between 29 and 35 Ohms [at 20 degrees C (68 degrees F)]?
YES: Go to Step 4.
NO: Replace the turbocharger wastegate solenoid. Then go to Step 12.
STEP 4. Measure the power supply voltage at turbocharger wastegate solenoid harness side connector B-26.
1. Disconnect connector B-26 and measure at the harness side.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
3. Measure the voltage between terminal No.1 and ground.
- Voltage should be battery positive voltage.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is battery positive voltage (approximately 12 volts) present?
YES: Go to Step 6.
NO: Go to Step 5.
STEP 5. Check harness connector B-12X at MFI relay for damage.
Q: Is the harness connector in good condition?
YES: Repair harness wire between MFI relay connector B-12X (terminal No.4) and turbocharger wastegate solenoid connector B-26 (terminal No.1) because of open circuit or short circuit to ground. Then go to Step 12.
NO: Repair or replace it. Then go to Step 12.
STEP 6. Measure the power supply voltage at ECM connector C-119 by backprobing.
1. Do not disconnect connector C-119.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
3. Measure the voltage between terminal No.41 and ground by backprobing.
- Voltage should be battery positive voltage.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is battery positive voltage (approximately 12 volts) present?
YES: Go to Step 9.
NO: Go to Step 7.
STEP 7. Check harness connector C-119 at ECM for damage.
Q: Is the harness connector in good condition?
YES: Go to Step 8.
NO: Repair or replace it. Then go to Step 12.
STEP 8. Check for open circuit and short circuit to ground between turbocharger wastegate solenoid connector B-26 (terminal No.2) and ECM connector C-119 (terminal No.41).
Q: Is the harness wire in good condition?
YES: Replace the ECM. Then go to Step 12.
