Diagnostic Test
1. OTHER DTC'S
With the scan tool, read DTCs.
Do you have additional DTC's?
Yes
- Repair all other DTC's first.
- Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Powertrain Verification Test
No
- Go To 2
2. TURBOCHARGER AND/OR WASTEGATE DAMAGE
Visually inspect the turbocharger assembly for signs of damage. Pay particular attention to the Wastegate area and linkage.
Was any damage noticed?
Yes
- Repair or replace the Turbocharger or Wastegate.
- Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Powertrain Verification Test

The valve should hold vacuum.
Does the Wastegate Control Valve hold vacuum?
Yes
- Repair or replace the Turbocharger.
- Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Powertrain Verification Test
No
