6E-320 ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM (4JK1/4JJ1)
Turbocharger Control System Check
Description
The position of the turbocharger nozzle is controlled by
the ECM. The ECM utilizes a turbocharger nozzle
control solenoid valve and a boost pressure sensor to
control the turbocharger nozzles. When the engine is
not under load, the turbocharger nozzles are in an open
position, or no boost condition. When the engine is
under load, the ECM commands the control solenoid
valve to close the turbocharger nozzles, thus
increasing the boost. The ECM will vary the boost
dependant upon the load requirements of the engine.
The ECM uses a pulse width modulation (PWM) on the
control circuit to open and control the solenoid valve. Notice:
• This Circuit/ System Testing is only applicable to high output engine.
