Circuit/System Description

The turbocharger incorporates a bypass valve which is controlled by the Engine Control Module (ECM), by utilizing a remotely mounted solenoid valve, to prevent turbocharger surging and damage from vibrations by opening during abrupt closed throttle conditions. When the valve is open during closed throttle deceleration conditions, it allows the air to recirculate in the turbocharger and maintain turbocharger speed. Within a calibrated range during the closed throttle event or upon a wide open throttle command the valve will then close to optimize turbo response. The bypass solenoid valve has the following circuits:

As engine load and engine speed increases, the turbocharger bypass solenoid valve remains commanded ON by the ECM. As soon as the throttle closes the turbocharger bypass solenoid valve is commanded OFF by the ECM, in order to allow the turbocharger bypass valve to open and allow the turbocharger air to recirculate, there by preventing turbocharger surging.
