• Check output line for open/short circuit and dam-

age.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 12 .

NO :

Repair the damaged harness wire.

STEP 12. Perform signal wave pattern
measurement at C-121 engine-ECU connector
(Using an oscilloscope).

• Engine: Idling

• Transmission: Neutral

• Voltage between terminal No. 2 and earth.

OK: Waveform should be display on Inspec-
tion procedure using an oscilloscope (Refer
to

P.13A-385

).

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP

00

− How to Use

Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points

P.00-5

).

NO :

Replace the engine-ECU.

Code No. P0234: Turbocharger Wastegate System Malfunction

FUNCTION

• The engine-ECU checks that the engine is not

overcharged by always monitoring intake air vol-
ume.

• The engine-ECU protects the engine by shutting

off fuel when an overcharged condition is
detected.

TROUBLE JUDGMENT

Check Condition

• Waste gate solenoid valve is normal.

Judgment Criterion

• The volumetric efficiency continues to be the sta-

tus having more than the specified valve for the
stipulated period.

PROBABLE CAUSES

• Failed turbocharger wastages actuator

• Failed supercharging pressure control system

• Failed engine-ECU

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP 1. Check turbocharger supercharging
pressure.

• Check turbocharger supercharging pressure

(Refer to GROUP 15

− On-vehicle Service − Tur-

bocharger Supercharging Pressure

P.15-2

).

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 2 .

NO :

Repair or replace.

STEP 2. Check supercharging pressure control
system.

• Check supercharging pressure control system

(Refer to GROUP 15

− On-vehicle Service −

Supercharging Pressure Control System

P.15-3

).

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 3 .

NO :

Repair or replace.

STEP 3. M.U.T.-II/III diagnosis code.

• Reconfirmation of diagnosis code.

Q: Is the diagnosis code?

YES :

Replace the engine-ECU.

NO :

Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP
00

− How to Use

Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points

P.00-5

).

Code No. P0243: Waste Gate Solenoid Valve System

OPERATION

• Power is supplied from the engine control relay

(terminal No. 4) to the waste gate solenoid valve
(terminal No. 1).

• The engine-ECU (terminal No. 41) causes the

power transistor in the unit to be ON to supply
power to the waste gate solenoid valve (terminal
No. 2).

FUNCTION

• In response to a signal from the engine-ECU, the

waste gate solenoid valve controls the turbo
charge pressure to be introduced into the waste
gate actuator of the turbo charger.

TROUBLE JUDGMENT

Check Condition

• Battery voltage is 10 V or more.
