The position of the turbocharger vanes is controlled by the engine control module (ECM). The ECM commands the TC vane position solenoid to change the position of vanes in order to vary boost depending upon the load requirements of the engine. The TC vane position sensor provides the ECM with a signal voltage relative to position of the turbocharger vanes.
