ECD SYSTEM (w/o DPF), Diagnostic DTC:P00AF

DTC Code DTC Name
P00AF Turbocharger/Supercharger Boost Control "A" Module Performance

DESCRIPTION

The turbocharger system is comprised of the Variable Nozzle (VN) type turbocharger, the turbo motor driver and ECM.

The turbocharger has a nozzle vane which opens and closes to control the volume of the exhaust gas flowing into the turbine. This, in turn, controls the boost pressure, when the nozzle vane moves towards the closing direction, the pressure increases. When the vane moves towards the opening direction, the pressure decreases.

The turbocharger actuator, which consists of the DC motor and the nozzle vane position sensor, is built on the turbocharger sub-assembly, and activates the nozzle vane. The nozzle vane position sensor detects the opening angle of the nozzle vane. The turbo motor driver receives an opening angle request from the ECM and a nozzle vane position signal from the nozzle vane position sensor. Based on these signals, the turbo motor driver operates the DC motor and adjusts the nozzle vane opening angle. The turbo motor driver sends the status as a turbo driver status signal to the ECM

The ECM sends a target nozzle vane position signal to the turbo motor driver to obtain the nozzle vane position for the optimal boost pressure in accordance with the driving conditions.

Tech Tips


  • Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

  • Excessive electrical noise, such as from wireless radios or electrical modifications, may cause a DTC output.

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK TURBO MOTOR DRIVER

      Front view of wire harness connector

      (to Turbo Motor Driver)

      Disconnect the turbo motor driver connector.

    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

    3. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Voltage
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      B53-3 (+B) - B53-4 (GND) Always 11 to 14 V

    4. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      B53-4 (GND) - Body ground Always Below 1 Ω

    5. Reconnect the turbo motor driver connector.


    NG

    REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

    OK

  2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (TURBO MOTOR DRIVER - ECM)


    1. Disconnect the D71 ECM connector.

    2. Disconnect the turbo motor driver connector.

    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance (Check for Open)
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      D71-21 (VNTO) - B53-7 (VNTO) Always Below 1 Ω
      D71-22 (VNTI) - B53-2 (VNTI) Always Below 1 Ω
      Standard Resistance (Check for Short)
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      D71-21 (VNTO) or B53-7 (VNTO) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      D71-22 (VNTI) or B53-2 (VNTI) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

    4. Reconnect the turbo motor driver connector.

    5. Reconnect the ECM connector.


    NG

    REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

    OK

  3. INSPECT ECM (VNTO VOLTAGE)


    1. A01BFJEE02

      While idling the engine, check the waveform of the ECM connectors using an oscilloscope.

      Standard Voltage
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      D71-21 (VNTO) - D70-1 (E1) Idling Correct waveform is as shown

    NG

    REPLACE ECM

    OK

  4. INSPECT ECM (VNTI VOLTAGE)


    1. A01BGTCE02

      While idling the engine, check the waveform of the ECM connectors using an oscilloscope.

      Standard Voltage
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      D71-22 (VNTI) - D70-1 (E1) Idling Correct waveform is as shown

    NG

    REPLACE TURBO MOTOR DRIVER

    OK
