ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
1. TURBOCHARGER BOOST PRESSURE
CHECK
Caution
Carry out driving tests in a location where full-throttle
acceleration is possible with utmost safety. Two persons
should be in the vehicle during the test, the assistant
in the front passenger seat reading the pressure gauge.
(1) Disconnect the hose (black) from the boost pressure
control solenoid valve and fit the pressure gauge to this
hose.
After the hose (black) has been disconnected, fit a blank
plug to the solenoid valve nipple.
(2) Drive at full-throttle acceleration in second gear and
measure the boost pressure when the engine speed
exceeds about 3,000 r/min.
Standard value:
53 – 87 kPa {0.54 – 0.89 kg/cm
2}
59 – 84 kPa {0.61 – 0.86 kg/cm2}

INTAKE AND EXHAUST – On-vehicle Service15-3
(3) If the boost pressure is lower than the standard value,
check for following which are probably the cause:
Wastegate actuator inoperative
Boost pressure leak
Turbocharger defective
(4) If the boost pressure is higher than the standard value,
boost pressure control is probably faulty. Make the
following checks:
Wastegate actuator inoperative
Wastegate valve inoperative
Wastegate actuator rubber hose disconnected or
cracked
2. BOOST PRESSURE CONTROL SYSTEM
CHECK
(1) Disconnect the hose (black) from the wastegate solenoid
valve and connect a three-way joint between the hose
and solenoid valve.
(2) Connect a hand vacuum pump to the three-way joint.
(3) Disconnect the hose (black) from the intake pipe nipple
connected to the turbocharger compressor housing and
fit a blank plug to this nipple.
(4) Disconnect the negative cable from the battery, keep it
disconnected for 10 sec. or more, and then reconnect
it back again.
(5) Block and unblock the end of the vacuum hose (black)
with a finger to apply vacuum and check for the vacuum
condition.

NOTE
If the vacuum condition is faulty, the wastegate actuator,
wastegate solenoid valve, or hose is probably defective.

3. WASTEGATE ACTUATOR CHECK
(1) Connect a hand pump (pressure type) to the nipple.
(2) Gradually increase the pressure being applied to check
for the pressure at which the wastegate actuator rod starts
moving (approx. 1 mm stroke).
Standard value: Approx. 100 kPa {1.02 kg/cm
2}
Caution
Do not apply a pressure more than 120 kPa {1.23
kg/cm
2} to prevent the diaphragm from being
damaged.
(3) If the pressure drastically deviates from the standard
value, check the actuator or wastegate valve and, if
necessary, replace the actuator or turbocharger assembly.
4. WASTEGATE SOLENOID VALVE CHECK
4-1 OPERATION CHECK
(1) Connect a hand vacuum pump to nipple A of the solenoid
valve.
(2) Using jumper wires, connect the solenoid valve terminal
to battery terminals.
(3) Disconnecting and reconnecting the jumper wire on the
(–) terminal side, apply vacuum to check for airtightness.

4-2 COIL RESISTANCE CHECK
Measure the resistance across solenoid valve terminals.
Standard value: 62 – 74 Ω (at 20
C)
5. AIR BYPASS VALVE CHECK
(1) Remove the air bypass valve.
(2) Connect a hand vacuum pump to the air bypass valve
nipple.
(3) Apply a vacuum of approx. 45 kPa {340 mmHg} and
check that the valve is airtight.
(4) Increase the vacuum and check for valve operation.

INTAKE AND EXHAUST – On-vehicle Service15-5
6. SECONDARY AIR CONTROL SYSTEM
CHECK
(1) Start the engine and let it run at idle speed.
(2) Short-circuit the no. 6 terminal of the engine ECU
connector using a jumper wire and check at this time
that the secondary air valve lifts.
At this time, the engine ECU connector should be
connected.
7. SECONDARY AIR CONTROL SOLENOID
VALVE CHECK
7-1 OPERATION CHECK
(1) Disconnect the vacuum hose (white stripe, yellow stripe)
from the solenoid valve.
(2) Disconnect the harness connector.
(3) Connect a hand vacuum pump to nipple A of the solenoid
valve.
(4) Using jumper wires, connect the solenoid valve terminal
to battery terminals.
(5) Disconnecting and reconnecting the jumper wire on the
(–) terminal side, apply vacuum to check for airtightness.

8. SECONDARY AIR VALVE CHECK
(1) Remove the secondary air valve.
(2) Connect a hand vacuum pump to the secondary air valve
nipple.
(3) Apply a vacuum of 67 kPa {500 mmHg} and check that
the vacuum is retained.
(4) Blow air from side (A) and side (B) of the secondary
air valve to check for air passage.

9. VACUUM TANK CHECK
(1) Connect a hand vacuum pump to nipple A of the vacuum
tank. Applying a vacuum of 67 kPa {500 mmHg}, check
that the vacuum is retained.
(2) Connect a hand vacuum pump to nipple B of the vacuum
tank.
(3) Apply a vacuum of 67 kPa {500 mmHg] with nipple A
plugged with a finger. Check that the vacuum leaks when
the finger is then released.

ADELIVERY PIPE, INJECTOR AND PRESSURE
REGULATOR REMOVAL
Remove the delivery pipe with the injectors and pressure
regulator attached to it.
Caution
Care must be taken, when removing the delivery pipe,
not to drop the injector.
INSTALLATION SERVICE POINT
AHIGH-PRESSURE FUEL HOSE INSTALLATION
(1) When connecting the high-pressure fuel hose to the
delivery pipe, apply a small amount of new engine oil
to the O-ring and then insert the high-pressure fuel hose,
being careful not to damage the O-ring.
Caution
Be careful not to let any engine oil get into the delivery
pipe.
(2) Check to be sure that the high pressure hose turns
smoothly.
If it does not turn smoothly, the O-ring may be trapped.
Remove the high-pressure fuel hose to check for damaged
O-ring and then re-insert it into the delivery pipe and
check once again.
(3) Tighten the mounting bolts to the specification.
INSPECTION
INTAKE MANIFOLD CHECK
(1) Check the intake manifold for damage or cracking and
replace it if defective.
(2) Using a straight edge and feeler gauge, check for distortion
of the cylinder head installation surface.
