Turbocharger Recirculating Valve Checking

Special tools and workshop equipment required 

Test requirements 

Test procedure 

-- Perform a preliminary check to verify the customers complaint. Refer to PRELIMINARY CHECK 

Start diagnosis 

-- Lift the vehicle on a hoist to access the turbocharger recirculating valve connector.

Checking internal resistance 

-- Disconnect the Turbocharger Recirculating Valve -N249- electrical harness connector -2-.

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

Specified value: 13.6 Ω +/- 5 ohms (at room temperature)

If the specified value was Not obtained: 

-- Replace the Turbocharger Recirculating Valve -N249-.

If the specified value was obtained: 

Checking Voltage supply 

-- Using a multimeter, check the Turbocharger Recirculating Valve -N249- electrical harness connector terminal 1 to engine ground.

-- Start the engine.

Specified value: Battery voltage.

-- Switch the ignition OFF.

If the specified value was Not obtained: 

-- Check the wiring for an open, short circuit to each other, high resistance or short to ground.

-- 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 

-- Remove the Engine Control Module -J623-.

-- Using a multimeter, check the Turbocharger Recirculating Valve -N249- electrical harness connector terminal to Engine Control Module -J623- electrical harness connector T60 for an open circuit.

Specified value: 1.5 Ω max.

If the specified value was Not obtained: 

-- Check the wiring for an open or high resistance.

-- 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 resistance and voltage supply was OK: 

-- Replace the Engine Control Module -J623-.

-- Install the engine cover with air filter.

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 .
  2. If necessary, erase the DTC memory. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC MODE 04 - ERASE DTC MEMORY .
  3. If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code. Refer to READINESS CODE .
