Trouble Diagnosis of Turbocharger=NJEM0104S0206Preliminary check:
+Check that the engine oil level is between MIN and MAX of the
dipstick. (When the engine oil amount is more than MAX, the
oil flows into the inlet duct through the blow-by gas passage,
and the turbocharger is misjudged failure.)
+Ask the customer if he/she always runs the vehicle in idle
engine speed to cool the oil down after driving.
+Replace the turbocharger assembly when any malfunction is
found after unit inspections specified in the table below.
+If no malfunction is found after the unit inspections, judge that
the turbocharger body has no failure. Check the other parts
again.
