Turbocharger Actuator Motor Circuit

Circuit Description:
The electronic control module (ECM) controls the turbocharger actuator motor, which changes the airflow of the
turbocharger based on various engine operating conditions. The sliding nozzle in the turbocharger is operated by the
turbocharger actuator motor. The actuator is a DC motor that receives voltage from the ECM.

Component Location:
The turbocharger actuator motor is part of the turbocharger actuator assembly, which is located on the exhaust side of
the engine and is mounted to the bearing housing of the turbocharger. Refer to Procedure 100-002 for a detailed
component location view.

Shop Talk:
A possible cause of this fault is the turbocharger actuator signal (+ or -) leads can be shorted to ground in the harness,
motor, or the ECM.
Do not supply voltage of any kind to the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve motor. This circuit uses a pulse-width-
modulated signal and direct voltage can permanently damage the motor.
