Circuit/System Testing

  1. Verify the integrity of the entire air induction system including all turbocharger components by inspecting for the following conditions:
    • Any damaged components, including the turbocharger, the charge air cooler, and the turbo charger wastegate actuator solenoid valve
    • Damage to the intake air pressure and temperature sensor
    • Loose or improper installation
    • An air flow restriction
    • Any vacuum leak
    • Any pinholes or breaks in the vacuum hoses attached to the turbocharger wastegate solenoid valve
    • Any restrictions in the vacuum hoses attached to the turbocharger wastegate solenoid valve
    • Improper routing or connecting of the vacuum hoses on the turbocharger bypass solenoid valve, the bypass valve, and the turbocharger wastegate actuator solenoid valve
    • Any type of air leak between the turbocharger and the throttle body, including the CAC assembly.
    • Exhaust leaks
    • If a condition is found, repair as necessary.
  2. Ignition OFF, remove B65 intake air pressure and temperature sensor but leave the electrical connector connected.
  3. Connect the J 24460-01  Cooling System Pressure Tester to the intake air pressure and temperature, boost pressure, sensor port with a suitable adapter. Engine running, observe the scan tool Boost Pressure Sensor parameter. Apply 6 psi to the B65 intake air pressure and temperature, boost pressure, sensor. Verify the scan tool Boost Pressure Sensor parameter responds to the applied pressure.
  4. If the scan tool Boost Pressure Sensor parameter does not increase with the applied pressure, replace the B65 intake air pressure and temperature sensor.
  5. Inspect the turbocharger oil supply lines for a restriction.
  6. If restricted, repair or replace as necessary.
  7. If all other components test normal, test or replace the turbocharger.
