*INTAKE AIR SYSTEM PRESSURE TEST
Diagnostic Test
1.CHARGE AIR COOLER PRESSURE TEST
Loosen air inlet tube clamp at the turbocharger.
Remove the air filter housing and the inlet tube from the vehicle as an assembly.
Install the CAC Pressure Tester #9022 into the inner diameter of the turbocharger, securing it in place with the
supplied three-fingered band clamp, tighten tool clamp to 8n.m (72 in lbs).
NOTE: NEVER ATTEMPT TO START OR RUN THE VEHICLE AT ANY TIME DURING THIS TEST,ENGINE DAM-
AGE MAY OCCUR.
Fasten the safety chain around a solid surface behind the turbocharger. Warning: Never run CAC Pressure test
without the safety chain securely fastened.
Before attaching shop air to the pressure regulator verify that the regulator is at its lowest pressure setting (0 psi).
Attach an air supply to the regulator and slowly increase the pressure until the pressure gauge reads 20 psi.
WARNING: WARNING: Never apply more than 20 PSI.
Using a solution of soap and water spray the Turbocharger, Turbocharger wastegate, Charge Air Cooler Heat
Exchange and CAC Hoses while watching for leaks.
Before any attempt to repair the CAC system is made, its necessary to completely discharge the system. This can
be accomplished by turning the regulator knob counter-clockwise.
Allow for adequate time to pass before removing the CAC Pressure tester from the turbo charger inlet.
Position the Air Filter Housing over thethreemountingstudslocatedonthe inside front fender well and press down
firmly to lock housing into place.
Install Air Inlet Tube over the Turbocharger inlet and torque the band clampto35in.lbs.

POSSIBLE CAUSES
INTERMITTENT CONDITION
Diagnostic Test
1.INTERMITTENT CONDITION
NOTE: The conditions that set the DTC are not present at this time. The following list may help in identi-
fying the intermittent condition.
WARNING: When the engine is operating, do not stand in direct line with the fan. Do not put your hands
near the pulleys, belts, or fan. Do notwear loose clothing. Failure to follow these instructions can result in
personal injury or death.
Refer to any Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) that may apply.
Review the scan tool Freeze Frame information. If possible, try to duplicate the conditions under which the DTC set.
With the engine running at normal operating temperature, monitor the scantool parameters relatedtotheDTCwhile
wiggling the wire harness. Look for parameter values to change and/or a DTCto set.
Turn the ignition off.
Visually inspect the related wire harness. Disconnect all the related harness connectors. Look for any chafed,
pierced, pinched, partially broken wires and broken, bent, pushed out, orcorroded terminals.
Perform a voltage drop test on the related circuits between the suspected faulty component and the PCM.
Inspect and clean all PCM, engine, and chassis grounds that are related to the most current DTC.
If numerous trouble codes were set, use a wire schematic and look for any common ground or supply circuits.
For any Relay DTCs, actuate the Relay with the scan tool and wiggle the related wire harness to try to interrupt the
actuation.
For intermittent Evaporative Emission trouble codes perform a visual andphysical inspection of the related parts
including hoses and the Fuel Filler cap.
For intermittent Misfire DTC’s check for restrictions in the Intake and Exhaust system, proper installation of Sensors,
vacuum leaks, and binding components that are run by the accessory drive belt.
Use the scan tool to perform a System Test if one applies to failing component.
A co-pilot, data recorder, and/or lab scope should be used to help diagnoseintermittent conditions.
Were any problems found during the above inspections?
