VISUALLY CHECK TURBOCHARGER SUB-ASSEMBLY
Check for deformation and cracks in the turbine wheel on the exhaust side.
If the turbine wheel is cracked or deformed, replace the turbocharger sub-assembly.

INSPECT AXIAL PLAY OF TURBINE SHAFT
Move the turbine shaft in an axial direction and measure the axial play of the turbine shaft using a dial indicator.
| Maximum axial play |
|---|
| 0.08 mm (0.0031 in.) |
Note
Turbocharger sub-assembly and dial indicators are surely fixed when performing measurement.
If the axial play is greater than the maximum, replace the turbocharger sub-assembly.
INSPECT RADIAL PLAY OF TURBINE SHAFT
Using a dial indicator, insert the needle of the dial indicator into the oil outlet hole, and set it in the center of the turbine shaft.
Move the turbine shaft in a radial direction and measure the radial play of the turbine shaft.
| Maximum axial play |
|---|
| 0.110 mm (0.0043 in.) |
If the radial play is greater than the maximum, replace the turbocharger sub-assembly.
CHECK TURBINE SHAFT ROTATION
Rotate the turbine wheel with your finger and check that it rotates smoothly.
Tech Tips
Even if it takes effort a little to rotate the turbine wheel, this is not a problem.
If the turbine wheel does not rotate smoothly, replace the turbocharger sub-assembly.
INSPECT ACTUATOR AND WASTE GATE VALVE OPERATION
Disconnect the actuator hose from the compressor housing.
Using SST, apply pressure to the actuator.
| Valve opening pressure |
|---|
| Specified pressure* (See attached table below) |
Note
Never apply more than predetermined maximum pressure*to the actuator.
Tech Tips
*: Valve opening pressure and predetermined maximum pressure above differ according to the turbocharger. For the specifications, see attached table below.
| Valve Opening Pressure (kPa: Gauge Pressure) |
Maximum Pressure (kPa: Gauge Pressure) |
Reference: Rod Stroke (mm) |
|---|---|---|
| 114 | 136 | 0.98 to 1.91 |
Check that the actuator push rod moves and that the waste gate valve opens.
If the rod does not move, replace the turbocharger sub-assembly.
Reconnect the actuator hose to the compressor housing.
