Circuit/System Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2019 Buick Cascada, 2018 Buick Cascada, and 2017 Buick Cascada. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Verify that the conditions listed below do not exist with the Q40 Turbocharger Bypass Solenoid Valve and the charge air bypass valve.
- Improper routing of the vacuum hoses
- Loose or improper connections of the vacuum hoses
- Damaged components
- If a condition exists
Repair or replace the affected component as necessary.
- Go to next step: If none of the conditions exist
- Disconnect the turbocharger bypass solenoid valve vacuum supply hose at the intake manifold vacuum reservoir.
- Connect the GE 23738-A to the vacuum port at the vacuum reservoir.
- Engine Idling, verify the vacuum gauge displays between 45 - 67 kPa (13 - 20 inches Hg) of vacuum.
- If not within the specified range
Replace the intake manifold.
- Go to next step: If within the specified range
- If not within the specified range
- Apply 34 kPa (10 inches Hg) of vacuum to the intake manifold reservoir with the GE 23738-A .
- Verify the reservoir holds vacuum for at least 10 s.
- If the vacuum is not held for at least 10 s
Replace the intake manifold
- Go to next step: If the vacuum is held for at least 10 s
- If the vacuum is not held for at least 10 s
- Connect the vacuum hose to the reservoir.
- Disconnect the vacuum hose at the charge air bypass valve and connect the GE 23738-A to the hose.
- Engine idling, command the Turbocharger Bypass Solenoid Valve between Active and Inactive with a scan tool.
- Verify the vacuum toggles between 0 kPa (0 inches Hg) to greater than 45 kPa (13 inches Hg).
- If not within the specified range
Replace the Q40 Turbocharger Bypass Solenoid Valve
- Go to next step: If within the specified range
- If not within the specified range
- Replace the charge air bypass valve.
NOTE:
The vacuum reservoir is integral to the intake manifold.
NOTE:
Allow engine idle to stabilize before continuing.
NOTE:
Disconnect the turbocharger bypass solenoid valve vacuum supply hose at the vacuum reservoir if not still disconnected from step 7.
