Wastegate Actuator: Testing and Inspection
Waste Gate Actuator Operational Test
If a problem exists that requires testing the actuation operation of the wastegate, perform this test on the actuators for both turbochargers.
1. Connect a suitable pressure tester (with a pressure source) to the pressure hose fitting
2. Apply approx. 48 kPa (6.8 psi) pressure to the actuator and check that the rod moves.
CAUTION: Do not apply a pressure in excess of 67kPa (9.7 psi) to the actuator, damage may result.
3. Ensure that the pressure does not bleed off.
4. If the actuator fails to operate properly, replace the actuator. Never attempt to adjust the wastegate valve.
