Symptom Chart
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
| Symptom | Possible Sources | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Loss of power/performance | Clogged Air Cleaner (ACL) element Loose connections or damage to air intake hoses and tubes Malfunctioning fuel system Poor fuel quality Engine wear (piston rings, valve guides) Turbocharger turbine or compressor wheel damage Damaged exhaust or exhaust leaks at turbocharger housing Malfunctioning turbocharger bypass valve Obstructed wastegate actuator linkage Damaged wastegate actuator linkage Wastegate actuator operation PCM - Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) |
INSTALL a new Air Cleaner (ACL) element. TEST the system for normal operation. TIGHTEN the hose clamps. INSPECT for damage and REPAIR as necessary. Refer to ENGINE CONTROLS - INTRODUCTION (EXCEPT DIESEL & HYBRID) . DRAIN and FILL with fresh fuel. REPAIR as required. INSPECT the turbocharger. REFER to the CHECK FOR FREE ROTATION - Off Vehicle . INSPECT for leaks. Leaks can usually be detected audibly or visually, by a discoloration caused by escaping hot exhaust gases. REPAIR as required. Refer to ENGINE CONTROLS - INTRODUCTION (EXCEPT DIESEL & HYBRID) INSPECT the turbocharger wastegate linkage for obstructions. REPAIR as required. INSPECT the turbocharger wastegate linkage for damage. INSTALL a new turbocharger as necessary. TEST the wastegate actuator operation. Refer to ENGINE CONTROLS - INTRODUCTION (EXCEPT DIESEL & HYBRID) . REFER to: Electronic Engine Controls . MIL Code List. |
| Symptom | Possible Sources | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Excessive oil consumption | Incorrect type or grade of oil Oil in the cylinder head to turbocharger flange Clogged Air Cleaner (ACL) element Blocked or restricted turbocharger oil drain tube Damaged or collapsed air intake hoses and tubes Damaged exhaust or exhaust leaks at turbocharger housing to cylinder head Turbocharger oil seals leaking Damaged crankcase ventilation system |
DRAIN and FILL with specified oil. REPAIR as required. INSTALL a new Air Cleaner (ACL) element. TEST the system for normal operation. INSPECT the turbocharger oil drain tube. REPAIR as necessary. TIGHTEN hose clamps. INSPECT for damage and REPAIR as necessary. INSPECT for leaks. Leaks can usually be detected audibly or visually, by a discoloration caused by escaping hot exhaust gases. REPAIR as required. REFER to Turbocharger Internal Oil Leak Test . Visually INSPECT the crankcase ventilation system. REPAIR as necessary. |
| Symptom | Possible Sources | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Excessive noise | Turbocharger compressor air intake pipe leaking Loose connections or damage to air intake hoses and tubes Air leaks at turbine housing, blown joints or damaged exhaust Carbon build up in the turbine housing causing contact with turbine wheel Turbocharger imbalance due to foreign object/damage Turbine bearing failure Inoperative turbocharger bypass valve |
REPAIR or INSTALL a new pipe as required. TIGHTEN hose clamps. INSPECT for damage and REPAIR as necessary. INSPECT for leaks. Leaks can usually be detected audibly or visually, by a discoloration caused by escaping hot exhaust gases. REPAIR as required. INSPECT the turbocharger. REFER to the CHECK FOR FREE ROTATION - Off Vehicle . REPAIR as required. INSPECT the turbocharger. REFER to the CHECK FOR FREE ROTATION - Off Vehicle Refer to ENGINE CONTROLS - INTRODUCTION (EXCEPT DIESEL & HYBRID) |
| Symptom | Possible Sources | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Engine emits excessive smoke (black/blue/white) | Clogged Air Cleaner (ACL) element Incorrect type or grade of oil Blocked or restricted turbocharger oil drain tube Damaged/restricted or leaking turbocharger compressor air intake pipe Engine wear (piston rings, valve guides) Plugged crankcase ventilation system Turbocharger oil seals leaking |
INSTALL a new Air Cleaner (ACL) element. TEST the system for normal operation. DRAIN and FILL with specified oil. INSPECT the turbocharger oil drain tube. REPAIR as necessary. REPAIR or INSTALL a new pipe as required. REPAIR as required. Visually INSPECT the crankcase ventilation system. REPAIR as necessary. REFER to Turbocharger Internal Oil Leak Test . |
