Pinpoint Test HN: Turbocharger System: Introduction

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 31 other vehicles, including the 2016 Lincoln Navigator, 2016 Lincoln MKZ, 2016 Lincoln MKX, 2016 Lincoln MKT, and 2016 Lincoln MKS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

WARNING: WHILE CONDUCTING TESTS ON A HOT ENGINE TAKE ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS TO PREVENT SKIN CONTACT WITH HOT ENGINE COMPONENTS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.

WARNING: STRICT OBSERVANCE OF POSTED SPEED LIMITS AND DRIVING CONDITIONS IS MANDATORY WHEN PROCEEDING THROUGH THE FOLLOWING DRIVE CYCLES.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.

NOTE: To recreate the original conditions that set the DTC or caused the symptom, the vehicle may require driving.

This pinpoint test is intended to diagnose the following:

turbocharger bypass (TCBY) valve (9K378)
turbocharger bypass 2 (TCBY2) valve (9K378)
turbocharger wastegate regulating valve solenoid (9961 pressure actuated, 9E882 vacuum actuated)
wastegate vacuum sensor (9F479)
leaks or restrictions in the intake air system and charge air cooler (CAC)

PCM (12A650)
