TROUBLESHOOTING
HINT: Before troubleshooting the turbocharger, first check the engine itself. (Valve clearance, engine com-
pression, ignition timing etc.)
Check intake air system, and repair or replace parts
as necessary. (See page

Check intake air system, and repair or replace parts
as necessary. (See page

Check rotation of turbine shaft. If it does not
turn or turns with a heavy drag, replace the
turbocharger assembly.
Check axial and radial play of turbine shaft.
(See page EG±158)
Maximum axial play : 0.110 mm (0.0045 in.)
Maximum radial play : 0.162 mm (0.0064 in.)
If the play is greater than maximum, replace
the turbocharger assembly. EG±142

Back±Up Function
If there is trouble with the program in the ECM and the ignition signals (IGT) are not output from the microcomput-
er, the ECM controls fuel injection and ignition timing at predetermined levels as a back±up function to make
it possible to continue to operate the vehicle.
Furthermore, the injection duration is calculated from the starting signal (STA) and the throttle position signal
(IDL). Also, the ignition timing is fixed at the initial ignition timing, 10
°BTDC, without relation to the engine speed.
HINT: If the engine is controlled by the back±up function, the malfunction indicator lamp lights up to warn the
driver of the malfunction but the diagnostic trouble code is not output. EG±504

Check fuel pressure.
Proceed to page EG±264 and continue to
troubleshoot.
(1) Be sure that there is enough fuel in the tank.
(2) Turn ignition switch ON.
(3) Using SST, connect terminals FP and +B of
data link connector 1.
SST 09843±18020
Check that there is pressure in the hose from the fuel
filter.
If there is fuel pressure, you will hear the sound of fuel
flowing.
Never make a mistake with the terminal con-
nection position as this will cause a malfunc-
tion.
Check for spark.
Proceed to page IG±21 and continue to trou-
bleshoot.
Proceed to matrix chart of problem symptoms
on page EG±514.
(1) Remove ignition coil (See page IG±26)
(2) Remove spark plug.
(3) Install the spark plug to the ignition coil, and connect
the ignition coil connector.
(4) Ground the spark plug.
Check if spark occurs while engine is being cranked.
To prevent excess fuel being injected from the injectors
during this test, don't crank the engine for more than 1
Ð 2 seconds at a time.
