Were any problems found?

Yes

- Repair or replace as necessary.
- Perform the ECM Verification Test Ver. 1. Verification Tests

No

- Go to 4

4. CHECK FOR INTAKE SYSTEM AIR LEAKS
Remove the Crankcase Vent Heater.
Remove the Mass Air Flow Sensor from the turbocharger inlet tube.
Seal off and/or plug the turbocharger inlet tube where the MAF sensor was removed.
Connect smoke machine 84-04 to the Crankcase Vent Heater port in the intake duct and begin injecting smoke into the intake system.
Observe all intake system components for evidence of smoke leakage.
Is there evidence of smoke leakage?

Yes

- Repair or replace as necessary.
- Perform the ECM Verification Test Ver. 1. Verification Tests

No

- Go to 5

5. REPLACE THE BOOST PRESSURE SERVO MOTOR
Replace the Boost Pressure Servo Motor.

NOTE: Ensure the Boost Pressure Servo Motor and ECM harness connectors are connected.

Test drive the vehicle.
With the scan tool, select View DTCs.
Is the status Active for this DTC?

Yes

- Replace the Turbocharger assembly.
- Perform the ECM Verification Test Ver. 1. Verification Tests
