Turbocharger Recirculating Valve, Checking






Turbocharger Recirculating Valve, Checking

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

• Multimeter.

• Wiring diagram.

Test requirements

• Fuse (S345) OK.

• The Engine Component Power Supply Relay (J757) OK.

• The ignition switched off.

• Voltage for the Turbocharger Recirculating Valve ( N249) is supplied by the Engine Component Power Supply Relay (J757).

Test procedure

- Perform a preliminary check to verify the customers complaint. Refer to => [ General Diagnosis ] General Diagnosis.

Start diagnosis

- Remove engine cover - arrows -.





Checking internal resistance

- Disconnect the electrical harness connector - 3 - from the Turbocharger Recirculating Valve (N249).





- Using a multimeter, check the Turbocharger Recirculating Valve (N249) terminals 1 to 2 for resistance.





Specified value: 20 to 30 ohms (at approx. 20° C)

If the specification was not obtained:

- Replace the Turbocharger Recirculating Valve ( N249). Refer to Engine Mechanical Repair Information.

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) for voltage.









- Operate the starter briefly.

Specified value: battery voltage.

- Switch the ignition off.

If the specified value was not obtained:

- Check the Turbocharger Recirculating Valve (N249 ) electrical harness connector terminal 1 to the Engine Component Power Supply Relay (J757) socket 2/87 for an open circuit, short circuit to each other, Battery (+), or Ground (GND).

- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose 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. Refer to Fuel Injection and Ignition Repair Information

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, Replacing ] Service and Repair.

- Using a multimeter, check the Turbocharger Recirculating Valve (N249) electrical harness connector terminal 2 to Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623) electrical harness connector T60 terminal 21 for resistance.









Specified value: 1.5 ohms max.

If the specification is not obtained:

- Check the wiring for a open circuit, short circuit to each other, Battery (+), or Ground (GND).

- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose 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:

- 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 ] Monitors, Trips, Drive Cycles and Readiness Codes.

- 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, Replacing ] Service and Repair.

- Assembly is performed in the reverse of the removal.

Final procedures

After repair work, the following work steps must be performed in the mentioned sequence:

1. Check the DTC memory. => [ Diagnostic Mode 03 - Read DTC Memory ] Diagnostic Mode 03 - Read DTC Memory.

2. If necessary, erase the DTC memory. => [ Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory ] Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory.

3. If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code. => [ Readiness Code ] Monitors, Trips, Drive Cycles and Readiness Codes.

End of diagnosis
