Component Details:
The turbo charger position sensor is used in a pneumatic actuator to precisely detect the actual position of the variable
turbo geometry mechanism. This leads to improved performance and reduces the fuel consumption. A turbocharger is
a
turbine-driven
forced induction device that increases an internal combustion engine's efficiency and power output by
forcing extra
airinto the combustion chamber.
Preliminary Checks:
1. Check whether the customer voice / view about the issue is matching with the fault effects mentioned in above
Table. If yes, go ahead with next steps. If not, check for other DTC’s presence.
2. Check whether other customers report similar complaints earlier. If yes, perform the preliminary checks with
respect to earlier issue closure.
3. Check for Damage in EMS ECU connector / VGT Actuator and VGT position sensor.
4. Check for any back out of pins at EMS ECU connector / VGT Actuator and VGT position sensor.
5. Check for any damage of pins at EMS ECU connector / VGT Actuator and VGT position sensor.
