  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the boost source hose from the boost control solenoid. Connect the J 23738-A  to the boost source hose. See Special Tools .
  2. Engine running, observe the gage on the J 23738-A  for a reading equal to or greater than 15 in Hg. See Special Tools .
    • If less than 15 in Hg, repair the boost vacuum source hose or the intake manifold port for a restriction or blockage.
  3. Ignition OFF, connect the vacuum source hose to the boost solenoid.
    • If less than 18 in Hg, then repair the boost signal hose for a restriction or blockage.
  4. Disconnect the boost signal hose from the bottom port of the bypass valve actuator and connect the J 23738-A  to the boost signal hose. See Special Tools .
  5. Engine running, observe the gage on the J 23738-A  for a reading of 0-1 in Hg. See Special Tools .
    • If greater than the specified range, replace the boost control solenoid.
  6. Engine running, command the boost control solenoid to 0 percent DC with a scan tool. Observe the gage on the J 23738-A  for a reading equal to or greater than 15 in Hg. See Special Tools .
    • If less than the specified range, test the boost signal hose for a restriction or blockage. If the boost signal hose tests normal, replace the boost control solenoid.
  7. Disconnect the inlet vacuum signal hose from the top of the bypass valve actuator, and connect the J 23738-A  to the inlet vacuum signal hose. See Special Tools .
  8. Engine running, observe the gage on the J 23738-A  for a reading equal to or greater than 15 in Hg. See Special Tools .
    • If less than 15 in Hg, repair the inlet vacuum signal hose or the intake manifold port for a restriction or blockage.
