Diagnostic Aids

A vacuum leak or pinched vacuum line could cause DTC P0236 to set. Check all vacuum lines and components connected to hoses for leaks or sharp bends. Check vacuum source. A possible EGR DTC will set if problem is present with vacuum source. Check for proper vacuum line routing.

The turbocharger wastegate actuator uses a pulse width modulated vacuum solenoid that causes vacuum to fluctuate under normal conditions. A steady vacuum reading indicates a restricted or plugged solenoid vent filter or solenoid vent orifice.
