WARNING: PERSONAL INJURY
Diesel engine exhaust and some of its constituents are known to the State of California to cause
cancer, birth defects, and other reproductive harm.
• Always start and operate an engine in a well ventilated area.
• If operating an engine in an enclosed area, vent the exhaust to the outside.
• Do not modify or tamper with the exhaust system or emission control system.

WARNING: PERSONAL INJURY
To avoid injury, never remove any engine component while the engine is running.

WARNING: PERSONAL INJURY
To avoid injury before starting and running the engine, ensure the vehicle is parked on a level
surface, parking brake is set, and the wheels are blocked.

WARNING: PERSONAL INJURY
To avoid injury from hot surfaces, wear protective gloves, or allow engine to cool before removing
any component.

19. Using DiagnosticLink, activate wastegate control from Service Routines Activate Outputs Panel. Run slide control up
to 95% - (Click Set). Wastegate will open with air psi available. Does wastegate open when commanded?
a. Yes; Go to step 20.
b. No; Go to step 21.
NOTE: Wastegate activates at 0% or 95%. There is no response at 50%.
20. Move slide control down to 0. Does wastegate close when commanded?
a. Yes; Go to step 28.
b. No; Go to step 21.
21. Disconnect the wastegate solenoid harness connector.
22. Inspect the wastegate solenoid and harness connector for signs of damaged, bent, spread, corroded or unseated (pushed
out) pins and signs of moisture in the connector or wire damage near the connector. Is any damage found?
a. Yes; repair as necessary. Verify repairs.
b. No; replace the wastegate solenoid.
Refer to section "Removal of the DD13 Wastegate Solenoid".
Refer to section "Removal of the GHG14 DD15 Asymmetrical Turbocharger Wastegate Solenoid".
Verify repairs. If fault code returns, Go to step 28.
23. Turn the ignition ON (key ON, engine OFF).
24. Using DiagnosticLink, monitor EGR delta P voltage (pin 109).
25. Is the EGR delta P voltage between 0.55 and 0.83 volts?
a. Yes; Go to step 28.
