CHECK BOOST PRESSURE
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Start the engine and turn the tester ON.
Warm up the engine.
Tech Tips
Be sure to perform the inspection when the engine coolant temperature is between 75 and 90°C (167 and 194°F).
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / All Data.
| *1 |
Snapshot Record Button |
Take a snapshot of the Data List items with the intelligent tester shown in the illustration.
Tech Tips
Graphs can be displayed by transferring the stored snapshot from the tester to a PC. Intelligent Viewer must be installed on the PC.
The condition of the turbocharger can be determined by fully depressing the accelerator pedal while driving at 15 km/h (9 mph) in 2nd gear to accelerate the vehicle (obey all laws and regulations, and pay attention to driving conditions while driving the vehicle), and then comparing MAP with Target Booster Pressure at an engine speed of 3000 rpm.
Compare MAP with Target Booster Pressure.
| Standard |
|---|
| MAP is within 30 kPa of Target Booster Pressure when accelerating with accelerator pedal fully depressed. |
Tech Tips
The specification above denotes the difference between the absolute pressure values.
The inspection above is only for vehicles equipped with a manual transmission.
If the driving inspection using the intelligent tester above cannot be performed (e.g. due to road conditions), or if the vehicle is equipped with an automatic transmission, perform the following inspection.
Warm up the engine.
Tech Tips
Be sure to perform the inspection when the engine coolant temperature is between 75 and 90°C (167 and 194°F).
Using a 3-way connector, connect SST (turbocharger pressure gauge) between the diesel turbo pressure sensor (manifold absolute pressure sensor) and the gas filter.
Fully apply the parking brake and chock the 4 wheels.
for Manual Transmission:
While depressing the clutch pedal, fully depress the accelerator pedal. Measure the boost pressure at maximum engine speed (approximately 4600 rpm).
| Standard Pressure (Gauge Pressure) |
|---|
| 15 to 45 kPa (0.15 to 0.46 kgf/cm2, 2.1 to 6.5 psi) |
for Automatic Transmission:
Move the shift lever to P or N, and then fully depress the accelerator pedal. Measure the boost pressure at maximum engine speed (approximately 4600 rpm).
| Standard Pressure (Gauge Pressure) |
|---|
| 15 to 45 kPa (0.15 to 0.46 kgf/cm2, 2.1 to 6.5 psi) |
If the pressure is lower than the standard, the following problems may be present.
The intake system or exhaust system has leakage or blockage.
The turbocharger sub-assembly or turbo motor driver is malfunctioning.
The EGR valve does not close.
The diesel throttle body does not open.
The vacuum hose connected to the diesel turbo pressure sensor (manifold absolute pressure sensor) is cracked or disconnected.
The mass air flow meter is malfunctioning.
A fuel injector is malfunctioning.
If the pressure is higher than the standard, check the turbocharger and/or boost control components (turbo motor driver, pressure sensor, vacuum hose, wire harness, etc.).
Chart showing the suspected trouble areas when the pressure is lower than the standard.
Tech Tips
○: If a problem listed in the leftmost column of the chart exists, or if the part in the leftmost column of the chart has a malfunction, the value of the Data List item in the uppermost row of the chart will meet the conditions shown in the row labeled "Value which represents a malfunction".
The values in the chart are applicable when the engine coolant temperature is between 75 and 90°C (167 and 194°F).
The values in the chart are for vehicles equipped with a manual transmission. For vehicles with an automatic transmission, use these values as a reference only as they may differ from the actual values.
The values in the chart are valid in an area with an absolute atmospheric pressure higher than 95 kPa. (Standard atmospheric pressure is 101 kPa. Atmospheric pressure decreases by 1 kPa for every 100 m increase in altitude, and is also affected by the current weather conditions.)
When the altitude increases, atmospheric pressure and MAP decrease.

Tech Tips
*1: These values are measured when the transmission is in 2nd gear, the accelerator pedal is fully depressed, the vehicle is accelerating, and the engine speed is 3000 rpm.
*2: The Accel Position is the accelerator opening angle (%) for engine control use. The value indicates around 100 % when the accelerator pedal fully depressed. If the value does not indicate around 100 % when the accelerator pedal fully depressed, the accelerator pedal position sensor circuit or the pedal itself is malfunctioning. When the MIL is illuminated, even with the accelerator pedal fully depressed and an Accel Position of below 70%, it means the fail-safe is restricting the accelerator.
*3: The Data List items indicated on the tester differ according to vehicle model and engine type. If the Actual EGR Valve Pos. is not available but the EGR Lift Sensor Volt %*6is available, check that the EGR Lift Sensor Volt % is always following the Target EGR Position value (e.g. the EGR Lift Sensor Volt % is around fully closed position when the Target EGR Position value indicates 0%*7). The EGR valve may be malfunctioning if the value is stuck or does not fluctuate smoothly. However, in some cases the EGR valve may be malfunctioning even if the Actual EGR Valve Pos. and/or EGR Lift Sensor Volt % values are normal. Inspect the EGR valve for any defects (deposits, valve stuck, poor movement, etc.) if necessary.
*4: DTC P0400 may be stored at this time. If the actual EGR valve position follows the target EGR valve position slowly, a feeling of hesitation may occur.
*5: If Injection Feedback Val # of a cylinder is not within -3 to +3 mm3/st, the corresponding cylinder may have a malfunction (injector or compression). However, in some cases the cylinder may be malfunctioning even if the value is within -3 to +3 mm3/st because these values are injection volume correction values calculated by the ECM at the engine idling and not correction values for the high engine load condition related to the boost pressure control and engine output performance.
*6: The Data List item EGR Lift Sensor Volt % is calculated from the EGR valve position sensor output voltage. Value is 0 to 5 V converted to 0 to 100%.
Reference:
Fully closed: around 15%
Fully open: around 80%
*7: The EGR valve fully closed position value for comparing the EGR Lift Sensor Volt % value during EGR cut can be calculated from the EGR Close Lrn. Val.
Compare the EGR Lift Sensor Volt % with the calculated EGR valve fully closed position value. If the great difference between the values, the EGR valve may have a malfunction.
EGR valve fully closed position (%) = EGR Close Lrn. Val. / 5 V (sensor power source voltage) x 100
The EGR Close Lrn. Status must be OK when applying the values to the formula above.
