Checking internal resistance 

-- Disconnect the Wastegate Bypass Regulator Valve -N75- electrical harness connector.

-- Using a multimeter, check the Wastegate Bypass Regulator Valve -N75- terminals 1 to 2 for resistance.

Specified value: 12 to 18 Ω (at approx. 20° C)

If the specified value was Not obtained:

-- Replace the Wastegate Bypass Regulator Valve -N75- Refer to the Repair information.

If the specified value was obtained:

Checking Voltage supply 

Wastegate Bypass Regulator Valve -N75- electrical harness connector terminal Measure to
1 Ground

-- Start the engine.

-- Using a multimeter, check the Wastegate Bypass Regulator Valve -N75- electrical harness connector terminal 1 to engine ground.

Specified value: battery voltage.

-- Switch the ignition off.

If the specified value was Not obtained:

-- Check the wiring for a short circuit to ground, high resistance or an open circuit.

-- Check fuse 23 in Fuse Panel B for open and replace if blown.

-- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.

-- If necessary, repair the wiring connection.

If the specified value was obtained:

If the manufacturers test box is being used, perform the following step.

-- Install the test box.

If the manufacturers test box is not being used, perform the following step.

-- Remove the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) -J623-.

-- Using a multimeter, check the Wastegate Bypass Regulator Valve -N75- electrical harness connector terminal to the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) -J623- electrical harness connector terminal for an open circuit.

Specified value: 1.5 Ω max.

If the specified value was Not obtained:

-- Check the wiring for an open or high resistance.

-- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.

-- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.

If no malfunction is detected in the wiring and if the voltage supply was OK:

-- Replace the Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) -J623-. Refer to the Repair information.

-- Install the engine cover with air filter. Refer to the Repair information.

Final procedures 

After the repair work, the following work steps must be performed in the following sequence:

  1. Check the DTC memory. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC MODE 03 - READ DTC MEMORY .
  2. If necessary, erase the DTC memory. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC MODE 04 - ERASE DTC MEMORY .
  3. If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code. Refer to READINESS CODE .
