Using a 3-way connector, connect SST (turbocharger pressure gauge) to the hose between the manifold absolute pressure sensor and the gas filter leading to the intake air connector.
| 5. CHECK TURBINE SHAFT ROTATION |
![]() |
Grasp the edge of the turbine shaft and turn it. Check that the turbine shaft turns smoothly.
If the turbine shaft does not turn or is difficult to turn, replace the turbocharger.
| 6. CHECK MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE PRESSURE SENSOR |
![]() |
Inspect the power source voltage.
Disconnect the pressure sensor connector.
Turn the ignition switch ON.
Measure the voltage between terminals T9-3 (VC (+)) and T9-1 (E2 (-)) of the wire harness side connector.
Turn the ignition switch OFF.
Connect the pressure sensor connector.
![]() |
Check the power supply.
Turn the ignition switch ON.
Disconnect the vacuum hose from the pressure sensor.
Connect a voltmeter to terminals E7-28 (PIM (+)) and E8-28 (E2 (-)) of the ECM, and measure the output voltage at ambient atmospheric pressure.
![]() |
Apply a vacuum to the pressure sensor in 13.3 kPa (100 mmHg, 3.94 in.Hg) increments until the pressure reaches 40.0 kPa (300 mmHg, 11.81 in.Hg). Measure the decrease in voltage for each increment.
| Applied Vacuum | Voltage Decrease |
| -13.3 kPa (100 mmHg, 3.94 in.Hg) | 0.1 to 0.4 V |
| -26.6 kPa (199 mmHg, 7.85 in.Hg) | 0.2 to 0.6 V |
| -40 kPa (300 mmHg, 11.81 in.Hg) | 0.4 to 0.8 V |
![]() |
Using SST (turbocharger pressure gauge), apply pressure to the pressure sensor in 19.6 kPa (0.20 kgf/cm2, 2.84 psi) increments until the pressure reaches 98.0 kPa (1.00 kgf/cm2, 14.2 psi). Measure the increase in voltage for each increment.
| Applied Pressure | Voltage Increase |
| 19.6 kPa (0.20 kgf/cm2, 2.84 psi) | 0.1 to 0.4 V |
| 39.2 kPa (0.40 kgf/cm2, 5.69 psi) | 0.4 to 0.7 V |
| 58.8 kPa (0.60 kgf/cm2, 8.53 psi) | 0.7 to 1.0 V |
| 78.5 kPa (0.80 kgf/cm2, 11.4 psi) | 1.0 to 1.3 V |
| 98.0 kPa (1.00 kgf/cm2, 14.2 psi) | 1.3 to 1.6 V |
| 7. CHECK MOTOR FOR TURBOCHARGER CONTROL OPERATION |
Remove the No. 1 exhaust manifold heat insulator (Click here) and No. 1 turbo insulator (Click here).
Check the stroke.
Turn the ignition switch ON and OFF.
Check the DC motor's operation. Check that the motor rod stroke is as shown in A to D in the illustration below.
After the DC motor operates, visually check that the vane activation link contacts the fully closed stopper.

| 8. CHECK TURBO MOTOR DRIVER |
![]() |
Check the voltage of the turbo motor driver.
Turn the ignition switch ON.
Measure the voltage of the motor driver.
| Tester Connection | Specified Condition |
| T8-8 (+B) - Body ground | 9 to 14 V |
![]() |
Check the resistance of the wire harness side connector.
Turn the ignition switch OFF.
Disconnect the T8 wire harness side connector.
