Scheme 92

Using a Multimeter, check the Turbocharger Recirculating Valve -N249- terminals 1 to 2 for resistance.

Specified value: 20 to 30 ohms (at approx. 20 °C)

If the specification was not obtained

Replace the Turbocharger Recirculating Valve -N249-. Refer to Repair information.

If the specification was obtained

Checking Voltage supply

Using a Multimeter, check the Turbocharger Recirculating Valve -N249- electrical harness connector terminal 1 to Ground (GND).

Install the engine cover with air filter. Refer to 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»(ref-496054-S19296251252012082100000) .
  2. If necessary, erase the DTC memory. Refer to «DIAGNOSTIC MODE 04 - ERASE DTC MEMORY»(ref-496054-S06987146602012082100000) .
  3. If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code. Refer to «READINESS CODE»(ref-496054-S23770317242012082100000) .
