INTAKE SYSTEM > ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION |
| 1. INSPECT INTAKE SYSTEM |
Check that there is no air suction at the points shown in the illustration.

| 2. CHECK INTAKE AIR CONTROL SYSTEM |
Check for leakage or clogging between the air cleaner housing and turbocharger inlet, and between the turbocharger outlet and cylinder head.
| Condition | Operation |
| Clogged air cleaner | Clean or replace element |
| Collapsed or deformed hoses | Repair or replace |
| Leakage from connections | Check each connection and repair |
| Cracks in components | Check and replace |
| 3. CHECK EXHAUST SYSTEM |
Check for leakage or clogging between the air cleaner housing and turbocharger inlet, and between the turbocharger outlet and exhaust pipe.
| Condition | Operation |
| Deformed | Repair or replace |
| Foreign matter in passages | Remove |
| Leakage from components | Repair or replace |
| Cracks in components | Check or replace |
| 4. CHECK BOOST PRESSURE |
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Start the engine and turn the tester ON.
Warm up the engine.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / All Data.
![]() |
Take a snapshot of the Data List items with the intelligent tester shown in the illustration.
|
*1 | Snapshot Record Button |
Compare MAP with Target Booster Pressure.
Warm up the engine.

*1 | 3-Way Connector |
Fully apply the parking brake and chock the 4 wheels.
for Manual Transaxle:
While depressing the clutch pedal, fully depress the accelerator pedal. Measure the boost pressure at maximum engine speed (approximately 5100 to 5250 rpm).
for Multi-mode Manual Transaxle:
Move the shift lever to N, and then fully depress the accelerator pedal. Measure the boost pressure at maximum engine speed (approximately 5100 to 5250 rpm).
Chart showing the suspected trouble areas when the pressure is lower than the standard.

| 5. CHECK DIESEL TURBO TURBO PRESSURE SENSOR |
![]() |
Inspect the power source voltage.
| *1 | Voltmeter |
Disconnect the turbo pressure sensor connector.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.
Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
| Tester Connection | Specified Condition |
| 1 (VC) - 3 (E2) | 4.5 to 5.5 V |
Turn the ignition switch to off.
Reconnect the turbo pressure sensor connector.
Check the power supply.
Warm up the engine.
Turn the ignition switch off.
Connect an intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the tester ON.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / PIM.
Disconnect the vacuum hose from the diesel turbo turbo pressure sensor.
![]() |
Apply negative pressure to the turbo pressure sensor and confirm that a vacuum occurs.
