•  Fluid revel low or air in power the steering fluid
•  Improper drive belt tension
Hiss sound noise:
•  Vacuum leakage
•  Loose spark plug
•  Air leakage from the intake-air system
Rattle noise:

Warning
•  The following troubleshooting flow chart contains the fuel system diagnosis and repair procedures. Read the following warnings before performing the fuel system services:
―  Fuel vapor is hazardous. It can easily ignite, causing serious injury and damage. Always keep sparks and flames away from fuel.
―  Fuel line spills and leakage are dangerous. Fuel can ignite and cause serious injury or death and damage. Fuel can also irritate skin and eyes. To prevent this, always complete “BEFORE SERVICE PRECAUTION” and “AFTER SERVICE PRECAUTION” described in this manual. (See BEFORE SERVICE PRECAUTION [MZR 2.3 DISI Turbo].) (See AFTER SERVICE PRECAUTION [MZR 2.3 DISI Turbo].)
Caution
•  Disconnecting/connecting the quick release connector without cleaning it may possibly cause damage to the fuel pipe and quick release connector. Always clean the quick release connector joint area before disconnecting/connecting, and make sure that it is free of foreign material.

•  Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the inspection results.
8
Inspect the intake and exhaust housing system for loose installation.
Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the inspection results.
No
Go to the next step.
9
Remove the parts necessary to inspect the turbocharger without removing the turbocharger.
(See INTAKE-AIR SYSTEM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [MZR 2.3 DISI Turbo].)
Inspect if the turbocharger compressor wheel is bent, damaged, or interfering with housing on vehicle.
(See TURBOCHARGER INSPECTION [MZR 2.3 DISI Turbo].)
Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Replace the turbocharger.
(See INTAKE-AIR SYSTEM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [MZR 2.3 DISI Turbo].)
No
Go to the next step.
10
Inspect the turbocharger compressor wheel locknut is loose or has fallen down inside the turbocharger.
Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Replace the turbocharger.
(See INTAKE-AIR SYSTEM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [MZR 2.3 DISI Turbo].)
No
Go to the next step.
11
Inspect the turbocharger compressor wheel by hand.
Does the wheel turn easily and smoothly?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Replace the turbocharger.
(See INTAKE-AIR SYSTEM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [MZR 2.3 DISI Turbo].)
12
Visually inspect the turbine housing.
Is there any carbon built-up or foreign material on the turbine housing?
Yes
Clean built-up carbon or remove foreign materials.
•  If turbine housing damaged:
―  Replace the turbocharger.
No
Install the all removal parts at Step 9.
Inspect all turbocharger related parts installed correctly.
•  If a malfunction remains:
―  Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to the inspection results.
13
Verify test results.
•  If normal, return to the diagnostic index to service any additional symptoms.
•  If a malfunction remains, inspect the related Service Information and perform the repair or diagnosis.
―  If the vehicle is repaired, troubleshooting is completed.
―  If the vehicle is not repaired or additional diagnostic information is not available, reprogram the PCM if a later calibration is available. Retest.
