INSPECTION PROCERDURE

Trouble Diagnosis of Turbocharger

Check items before trouble diagnosis

  1. Check that the engine oil level is between L (Low level) and H (High level) of the oil level gauge. [When the engine oil amount is more then H (High level), the engine oil flows into the inlet duct through the blow-by gas passage, and the turbocharger is misjudged failure.]
  2. Ask the customer if he/she always runs the vehicle in idle engine speed to cool the engine oil down after driving. Replace the exhaust manifold and turbocharger assembly when any malfunction is found after unit inspections specified in the table below. If no malfunction is found after the unit inspections, judge that the turbocharger body has no non-standard conditions. Check the other parts again. Inspection Location Result Symptoms likely to occur when the results shown on the left exist. Oil leakage Smoke Noise Poor power Poor acceleration Turbine wheel Wet with oil. C A C C Carbon deposits observed. C A B B "Rubs against" housing. C B A B Vane is bent or broken. A A Compressor wheel Inside of intake port is badly stained with oil. B B "Rubs against" housing. C B A B Vane is bent or broken. A A Check both turbine and compressor rotor shaft end play. Heavy feel or catching when turned by hand. C C B Cannot be turned by hand. A Excessively loose bearing. C C B C Rotor shaft, oil return port (Check inside using penlight.) Carbon or sludge deposits in oil drain port.
