Turbocharger Actuator - All Others
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 9 other vehicles, including the 2018 Ford Transit-350 HD, 2018 Ford Transit-350, 2018 Ford Transit-250, 2018 Ford Transit-150, and 2018 Ford F-550 Super Duty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The turbocharger actuator is a 4-way proportional hydraulic flow control valve with a closed center position. The valve controls the linear actuator position of a closed loop hydraulic servo by charging and venting the flow on both sides of a piston. Linear displacement feedback from the actuator varies a feedback spring force to move the valve spool to the center closed position when the actuator reaches the desired position. The actuator position is dependent only on the control valve current and not on the hydraulic fluid temperature and viscosity.
