Circuit/System Description
The engine control module (ECM) controls boost using the turbocharger wastegate solenoid valve. The wastegate valve is actuated by a rod from
the diaphragm box located at the housing. A spiral spring in the diaphragm box works in the closing direction while the pressure in the diaphragm
works in the opening direction. The ECM supplies a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal to a solenoid valve, which then allows pressure from
the turbo to come through. When the pressure overcomes the spring force in the diaphragm box, the rod begins to move, opening the wastegate
valve to a corresponding degree. The ECM changes wastegate valve opening by varying the PWM signal, which regulates the turbine speed.
Ignition voltage is supplied directly to the wastegate solenoid valve. The ECM controls the solenoid valve by grounding the control circuit with a
solid state device called a driver. The driver is equipped with a feedback circuit that is pulled-up to a voltage. The ECM can determine if the control
circuit is open, shorted to ground, or shorted to a voltage by monitoring the feedback voltage.
Conditions for Running the DTCs
* The engine speed is greater than 80 RPM.
* The battery voltage is between 10-18 V.
* The ECM has commanded the wastegate solenoid valve ON and OFF at least once during the ignition cycle.
* The DTCs run continuously within the enabling conditions.
Conditions for Setting the DTCs
P0244
The ECM detects the wastegate solenoid valve control circuit is open.
P0245
The ECM detects the wastegate solenoid valve control circuit is shorted to ground.
P0246
The ECM detects the wastegate solenoid valve control circuit is shorted to voltage.
Action Taken When the DTCs Set
DTCs P0244, P0245, P0246 are Type B DTCs.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTCs
DTCs P0244, P0245, P0246 are Type B DTCs.
