Specified value: Battery voltage.

-- Switch the ignition OFF.

If the specified value was Not obtained:

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

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

-- If necessary, repair the wiring connection.

If the specified value was obtained:

Checking wiring 

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

-- Using a multimeter, check the Turbocharger Recirculating Valve -N249- electrical harness connector terminal 2 to Engine Control Module (ECM) -J623- electrical harness connector T60 terminal 50 for an open circuit.

2 50

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 the voltage supply was OK:

-- Replace the 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 .
