Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
The positions of the turbocharger vanes are controlled by the engine control module (ECM). The ECM utilizes a turbocharger vane control solenoid to control the turbocharger vanes and a turbocharger vane position sensor to verify the vanes position. The ECM will vary the boost dependent upon the load requirements of the engine. The vane control solenoid has a high control circuit and a low control circuit. The ECM uses a pulse width modulation on the low control circuit to control the solenoid.
Conditions for Running the DTC
P0045, P0047, P0048 and P006E
* The battery voltage is greater than 11 V.
* The engine is running.
* DTCs P0045, P0047, P0048 and P006E run continuously when the above conditions are met.
P006F
* The battery voltage is greater than 11 V.
* The ignition is OFF.
* The engine is in after-run.
* DTC P006F runs continuously when the above conditions are met.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
* The ECM detects that the commanded state of the driver and the actual state of the control circuits do NOT match.
* The above condition exists for greater than 3 s.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
DTCs P0045, P0047, P0048, P006E and P006F are Type B DTCs.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC

Circuit/System Verification
1. Ignition ON, observe the DTC information with a scan tool. Verify that DTC P0641, P0651, P0697, P06A3, P06D2, P2564, P2565, P2598 or P2599 is not set.
• If a DTC is set, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle for further diagnosis.
2. Engine running, increase the engine speed to 1,500 RPM and maintain. Command the TC Vane Pos. Ctrl. Solenoid ON and OFF with a scan tool while observing the scan tool TC Vane Position Sensor parameter. The parameter should increase to 95-99 % and decrease to near 0 % when changing between the commanded states.
3. Engine running, observe the scan tool TC Vane Position Sensor and the Desired TC Vane Position parameters. Slowly increase the engine speed from idle to 2,500 RPM, and slowly return the engine to idle speed. The parameters should remain within 2 % throughout the engine speed range.
4. Engine running, observe the scan tool TC Vane Position Sensor and the Desired TC Vane Position parameters. Increase the TC vane position in 5 % increments from 0-100 % with a scan tool. The parameters should remain within 2 % throughout the entire commanded range.
5. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC to verify that the DTC does not reset. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.
Circuit/System Testing
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the Q41 turbocharger vane position control solenoid.
2. Ignition ON, connect a test lamp between the high signal circuit terminal A and ground.
3. Ignition OFF, the test lamp should illuminate for 1-2 s, then flash several times and turn OFF.
• If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the high signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 ECM.
• If the test lamp remains illuminated, test the high signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 ECM.
Note: When the ECM is attempting a TC Learn, the test lamp will flash ON and OFF without commands from a scan tool.
4. Ignition ON, connect a test lamp between the high signal circuit terminal A and the low signal circuit terminal B.
5. Ignition OFF, the test lamp should illuminate for 1-2 s then turn off.
• If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the low signal circuit terminal B for an open/high resistance or a short to voltage. If the circuits test normal, replace the K20 ECM.
• If the test lamp remains illuminated for 1-2 s and then flashes several times before turning off, test the low signal circuit terminal B for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 ECM.
6. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the Q41 turbocharger vane position control solenoid valve.
Component Testing
Turbocharger Vane Position Control Solenoid Valve
1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the Q41 Turbocharger Vane Position Control Solenoid Valve.
2. Measure the resistance across the Q41 Turbocharger Vane Position Control Solenoid Valve terminals. The resistance should be between 3-7 ohm.
• If greater than the specified range, replace the Q41 Turbocharger Vane Position Control Solenoid Valve.
3. Test for infinite resistance between each Q41 Turbocharger Vane Position Control Solenoid Valve terminal and the solenoid valve housing.
• If less than the specified range, replace the Q41 Turbocharger Vane Position Control Solenoid Valve.
4. Ignition OFF, remove the Turbocharger Vane Position Control Solenoid Valve.
5. Connect the Q41 Turbocharger Vane Position Control Solenoid Valve harness connector.
6. Ignition ON, command the TC Vane Pos. Ctrl. Solenoid ON. Depress and hold the CAM follower slightly at the tip of the TC solenoid valve while observing the slot closest to the CAM follower for the spool valve to move to the open position.
• If the spool valve did not move to the open position, replace the Q41 Turbocharger Vane Position Control Solenoid Valve.
