² When Monitored:

When the ignition is on.

² Set Condition:

The ECM detects an open or short circuit in the Wastegate solenoid circuit.

Possible Causes

DAMAGED WIRING HARNESS OR CONNECTORS

WASTEGATE SOLENOID

(F504) FUSED IGNITION SWITCH OUTPUT OPEN

(K139) WASTEGATE SOLENOID DRIVER CIRCUIT OPEN

(K139) WASTEGATE SOLENOID CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND

(K139) WASTEGATE SOLENOID DRIVER SHORTED TO VOLTAGE

(K139) WASTEGATE SOLENOID DRIVER CIRCUIT SHORTED TO ANOTHER CIRCUIT

ECM

INTERMITTENT CONDITION

Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE -

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING)

Diagnostic Test

1. DAMAGED WIRING HARNESS OR CONNECTORS

Turn Ignition off.

Disconnect the ECM harness connectors.

Disconnect the Wastegate Solenoid harness connector.

NOTE: Check connectors - Clean/repair as necessary.

Are any wires or pins damaged?

Yes >> Repair or replace any damaged wire or connectors.

Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 1

(DIESEL). (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL

MODULES/ENGINE CONTROL MODULE - DIAGNOSIS

AND TESTING)

No >> Go To 2

2. WASTEGATE SOLENOID

Reconnect the ECM harness connector.

Reconnect the disconnected Wastegate Solenoid harness connector.

Turn the Ignition on, engine not running.

Disconnect the Wastegate Solenoid harness connector.

Connect an incandescent test light across the supply and driver pins at

the Wastegate Solenoid harness connector.

NOTE: The ECM will perform a self check of the circuit after

approximately 30 seconds, which should light the incandescent

test light.

Does the light illuminate brightly after 30 seconds of being

connected?

Yes >> Replace the Wastegate Solenoid.

Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 1

(DIESEL). (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL

MODULES/ENGINE CONTROL MODULE - DIAGNOSIS

AND TESTING)

No >> Go To 3

3. (F504) FUSED IGNITION SWITCH OUTPUT OPEN

Connect an test light between the Wastegate Solenoid connector Fused

ignition switch output circuit and battery negative.

Compare the test light brightness to that of a direct connection to the

battery.

Does the light illuminate brightly?

Yes >> Go To 4

No >> Repair the open (F504) Fused Ignition switch output circuit.

Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER - 1

(DIESEL). (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROL
