ECD SYSTEM(w/ DPF), Diagnostic DTC:P0046, P0047, P0048

DTC Code DTC Name
P0046 Turbocharger / Supercharger Boost Control "A" Circuit Range / Performance
P0047 Turbo / Super Charger Boost Control Solenoid Circuit Low
P0048 Turbo / Super Charger Boost Control Solenoid Circuit High

DESCRIPTION

These DTCs indicate that the DC motor of the turbocharger is malfunctioning. The ECM monitors the DC motor current to detect an open or short in the DC motor circuit. If the current meets certain criteria, the ECM stores a DTC and illuminates the MIL immediately.

The DC motor is used to operate the nozzle vane of the turbocharger. The nozzle vane opens and closes to change the velocity of exhaust emissions in order to control the turbo pressure. The ECM varies the duty ratio of the DC motor in accordance with the driving conditions.

If the nozzle vane is stuck closed (DC motor stuck off), drivability may deteriorate at wide open throttle. If the nozzle vane is stuck open (DC motor stuck on), drivability may deteriorate at intermediate throttle positions or the engine power may be insufficient.

DTC No. Detection Item DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area MIL Memory
P0046 Turbocharger / Supercharger Boost Control "A" Circuit Range / Performance The difference between the target NV opening angle and the actual VN opening angle is 50% or greater for 65 seconds or more (1 trip detection logic).

  • Turbocharger nozzle vane control actuator

  • Turbocharger sub-assembly

  • Turbocharger nozzle vane is stuck or movement is irregular

 Comes on DTC stored
P0047 Turbo / Super Charger Boost Control Solenoid Circuit Low The DC motor duty ratio is 80% or more and the motor current is 0.5 A or less for 3 seconds or more (1 trip detection logic).

  • Open in DC motor (turbocharger nozzle vane control actuator) circuit

  • Turbocharger nozzle vane control actuator

  • Turbocharger nozzle vane is stuck or movement is irregular

 Comes on DTC stored
P0048 Turbo / Super Charger Boost Control Solenoid Circuit High Overcurrent is detected 25 times or more (0.4 seconds or more) (1 trip detection logic).

  • Short in DC motor (turbocharger nozzle vane control actuator) circuit

  • Turbocharger nozzle vane control actuator

  • Turbocharger nozzle vane is stuck or movement is irregular

 Comes on DTC stored

Tech Tips


  • If DTC P0046, P0047 and/or P0048 is stored due to the nozzle vane being stuck closed, the following symptom may appear:


    • Vehicle surge when driving with full load

  • If DTC P0046, P0047 and/or P0048 is stored due to the nozzle vane being stuck open, the following symptoms may appear:


    • Lack of power

    • Vehicle surge or hesitation under light or medium load

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN

DTC No. DTC Detection Drive Pattern
P0046 Maintain the Active Test "Activate the VN Turbo Open" at Open (VN turbo fully open) and OFF (normal control) for 65 seconds or more.
P0047 2 seconds after engine is started, race engine for 1 second
P0048

Note

After replacing the ECM, the new ECM needs registration (Click here ) and initialization Click here.

Tech Tips

Read freeze frame data using the GTS. 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.

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK FOR ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P0046, P0047 AND/OR P0048)


    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the GTS on.

    3. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes.

    4. Read the DTCs.


      Powertrain > Engine and ECT > Trouble Codes
      Result
      Result Proceed to
      P0046 is output A
      P0047 and/or P0048 is output B
      P0046, P0047 and/or P0048 and other DTCs are output C

      Tech Tips

      If codes other than P0046, P0047 and/or P0048 are output, perform troubleshooting for those DTCs first.
