Wastegate Control Actuator LH: Installation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Ford F-150. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
-
NOTE: Push the new wastegate control actuator shaft all of the way towards the wastegate control actuator until it bottoms out.NOTE: Install the wastegate control actuator upper jam nut on all the way, finger tight.NOTE: Install the wastegate control actuator with the electrical connector properly orientated as noted during removal.
Install the wastegate control actuator, then install and tighten the wastegate control actuator mounting retainers and washers.
Torque: 42 lb.in (4.7 Nm)
- Connect the wastegate control actuator electrical connector.
-
NOTE: Make sure you have the right orientation as shown for the wastegate control actuator question mark upper linkage lever. If reversed, it will bind slightly on the turbocharger housing.
Connect the wastegate control actuator question mark upper linkage lever to the wastegate control actuator. Loosely install the lower wastegate control actuator jam nut.
-
-
NOTE: In this step the upper wastegate control actuator jam nut should still be fully loosened.
Hold the wastegate control actuator lever arm in the closed position, (rotated toward the wastegate control actuator until it stops).
- Hand tighten the bottom wastegate control actuator jam nut so that there is no slack in the system.
- Tighten the upper wastegate control actuator jam nut until tight.
- Mark the upper wastegate control actuator jam nut with a paint pen.
-
-
- Pull the wastegate control actuator shaft, at the wastegate control actuator jam nuts, away from the wastegate control actuator body to put slack into the system.
- Loosen the upper wastegate control actuator jam nut 4.5 turns.
- Hold the upper jam nut in position and tighten the lower jam nut, this will pull the wastegate control actuator shaft and linkage into the correct position.
Torque: 53 lb.in (6.0 Nm)
-
NOTE: Substantial opening and closing torque is applied by this system. To prevent injury, be careful to keep fingers away from wastegate mechanism when actuated. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
- With the KOEO, using a diagnostic scan tool, clear the PCM DTC's and reset the KAM.
- With the KOEO, using a diagnostic scan tool, view the PCM PID.
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, select the PCM PID WGATE_B_V. Press the accelerator pedal to the floor for 3 seconds and slowly release, record the minimum voltage immediately (within 1 second) after the pedal is fully released. Is the voltage between 1.1-1.3V?
- No, turn the ignition OFF and go to step 4.
- Yes, go to step 7.
