Vehicles with manual transmission:

- Accelerate vehicle in 3rd gear at full throttle from
2000 RPM and watch tachometer.

Vehicles with automatic transmission: - At 3000 RPM press memory button "M" on turbocharger tester.
Specification: 1.37-1.47 bar (19.865-21.315 psi)
- Drive with selector lever in range 2.
- Accelerate to 3000 RPM and wait for transmission to shift into 2nd
gear.
- Press accelerator pedal to kickdown position (transmission will not shift
down at this vehicle/engine speed).
- At 4500 RPM, press memory button "M" on turbocharger tester.
Specification: 1.3-1.4 bar (18.85-20.30 psi)

Note:
For vehicles with automatic transmission the
charge air pressure test may not always provide
a definitive reading of proper charge air pressure
regulation. If pressure readings are at the lower
end of the specified range, measure charge air
pressure control via load signal Page 21

.

All vehicles:
If measured value is above or below specification
Repair Manual, 1.8 Liter 4-Cyl. 5V Turbo Fuel
Injection & Ignition, Repair Group 24.

Note:
If no charge air exists and a rumbling sound is
heard from the engine compartment, the causes
are as follows:

Charge pressure bypass valve
malfunctioning.
Vacuum line to charge pressure bypass valve
leaking or disconnected.
