―  Cooling fan operation
5
•  Inspect the A/C cut-off operation.
•  Does the A/C cut-off work properly?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Inspect the A/C cut-off system components.
6
•  Inspect the air cleaner and/or intake-air system for clogging or restriction.
•  Are the air cleaner and intake-air system normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Clean or replace if necessary.
7
Note
•  The following test should be performed on vehicles with the turbocharger system.
•  Go to Step 16 for vehicles without the turbocharger system.
•  Inspect the hose bands between following parts:
―  Turbocharger compressor housing and air cleaner
―  Turbocharger compressor housing and charge air cooler
•  Are the hose bands loose?
Yes
Retighten hose bands.
If concern is resolved, complete inspection.
If concern still exists, go to the next step.
No
Turbocharger is normal.
Go to the next step.
8
•  Remove parts necessary to inspect the turbocharger. Do not remove the turbocharger.
•  Inspect if the turbocharger compressor wheel is bent, damaged, or interfering with the housing on vehicle.
•  Is there any problem?
Yes
Replace the turbocharger.
No
Go to the next step.
9
•  Inspect if the turbocharger compressor wheel locknut is loose or has fallen down inside the turbocharger.
•  Is there any problem?
Yes
Replace the turbocharger.
No
Go to the next step.
10
•  Turn turbocharger compressor wheel by hand.
•  Does the wheel turn easily and smoothly?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Replace the turbocharger.
11
•  Inspect if the turbocharger turbine wheel is damaged, cracked or interfering with the housing on the vehicle.
Note
•  Inspect all fins on each turbine wheel.
•  Is there any problem?
Yes
Replace the turbocharger.
No
Go to the next step.
12
•  Is any engine oil found inside the turbocharger turbine housing?
Yes
Excessive amount of oil is found:
•  Replace the turbocharger.
Small amount of oil is found:
•  Wipe oil out of the vehicle, then go to the next step.
No
Go to the next step.
13
•  Is any engine oil found inside the turbocharger compressor housing?
Yes
Wipe the oil out of the vehicle and install all removed parts in Step 8.
Go to the next step.
No
Turbocharger is normal.
Install all removed parts in Step 8.
Go to the next step.
14
•  Perform the EGR system inspection.
•  Is the EGR system normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Inspect the following:
•  EGR solenoid (vent)
•  EGR solenoid (vacuum)
•  EGR valve
•  Vacuum hose connections
•  Wiring harnesses between the EGR solenoids and PCM terminals
Repair or replace if necessary.
15
•  Is there any restriction in exhaust system?
Yes
Repair or replace if necessary.
No
Go to the next step.
16
•  Remove the injection nozzle.
•  Inspect the injection nozzle for the following:
―  Clogged nozzle
―  Seized needle valve
―  Incorrect valve opening pressure
―  Malfunctioning nozzle gasket
•  Is the injection nozzle normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair or replace injection nozzle.
17
•  Inspect the fuel filter for clogging.
•  Is the fuel filter normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Replace the fuel filter cartridge.
18
•  Inspect the fuel-inlet filter for restriction and/or clogging.
•  Is the fuel-inlet filter normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Replace or cleanup the fuel-inlet filter.
Then go to the next step.
19
•  Measure the engine compression.
•  Is the compression normal?
Yes
Go to Step 21.
No
Go to the next step.
20
•  Inspect the timing belt for the following:
―  Chipping of gear teeth
―  Low tension
―  Breakage, damage or cracks
•  Is the timing belt normal?
Yes
Inspect the following:
•  Burnt valve
•  Worn piston, piston ring or cylinder
•  Damaged cylinder head gasket
•  Damaged valve seat
•  Worn valve stem and valve guide
Repair or replace if necessary.
No
If the timing is incorrect, adjust the timing.
If the timing belt is not normal, replace the timing belt.
21
•  Inspect the injection timing.
•  Is the injection timing normal?
Yes
Inspect the following:
•  Boost sensor
•  Brake system for dragging
•  Clutch for slippage
If the normal, remove and the inspect injection pump.
No
Inspect the TCV.
(See TIMER CONTROL VALVE (TCV) INSPECTION [WL-3].)
If the TCV is normal, adjust the injection timing.
22
•  Verify the test results. If normal, return to the diagnostic index to service any additional symptoms.
