Troubleshooting Test Steps | Values | Results |
---|---|---|
1. Intake Air Filter A. Check the air filter restriction indicator, if equipped. B. Ensure that the air filter is clean and serviceable. |
Air filter |
Result: The air filter is blocked. Repair: Replace the air filter element. Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Engine Air Cleaner Element - Replace". Result: The air filter is OK. Proceed to Test Step 2. |
2. Air Intake System A. Check the air intake system for the following defects: · Blockages · Restrictions · Damage to the air intake ducts and hoses · Loose connections and air leaks |
Air intake |
Result: The air intake system is blocked, restricted, damaged, or loose. Repair: Make all necessary repairs to the air intake system. Result: The air intake system is OK. Proceed to Test Step 3. |
3. Wastegate Regulator A. Use the electronic service tool to check for diagnostic codes that relate to the wastegate regulator. |
Wastegate regulator |
Result: Diagnostic codes are present that relate to the wastegate regulator. Repair: Rectify the cause of any related codes. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Diagnostic Trouble Codes". Result: There are no diagnostic codes that relate to the wastegate regulator. Proceed to Test Step 4. |
4. Low Battery Voltage Note: This possible cause of the fault is only applicable to 12 VDC systems. If the application operates with a 24 VDC system, proceed to Test Step 5. A. Use a suitable multimeter to check the output voltage from the battery or batteries. |
Battery voltage |
Result: The battery voltage is less than 9.75 VDC. Repair: The voltage requirement is not satisfied. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Battery Problem". Ensure that any repairs have eliminated the fault. Result: The battery voltage is OK. Proceed to Test Step 5. |
5. Turbochargers Note: The turbochargers that are installed on the engine are nonserviceable items. If any mechanical fault exists, then the faulty turbocharger must be replaced. A. Check that the compressor housings for the turbochargers are free of dirt and debris. B. Check that the turbine housings for the turbochargers are free of dirt and debris. C. Check that the turbine blades rotate freely in the turbochargers. |
Turbochargers |
Result: There is a fault in a turbocharger. Repair: Replace the faulty turbocharger. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Turbocharger - Remove" and Disassembly and Assembly, "Turbocharger - Install". Result: The turbochargers are OK. Contact the Dealer Solutions Network (DSN). |
