SRT: detected.

Turbocharger Number 1 Speed High Circuit

Circuit Description:
The turbocharger speed sensor is a variable reluctance speed sensor. It consists of a coil of wire and an iron core. The
target on the turbocharger shaft is a ground flat in the center of the shaft.

Component Location:
The turbocharger speed sensor is mounted in the center housing of the turbocharger. Refer to Procedure 100-002 for a
detailed component location view.

Shop Talk:
This fault can come active any time the key is on and the electronic control module (ECM) detects turbocharger speed
greater than a calibration limit. This fault can be caused by failures in the following components:
• Turbocharger speed sensor
• Engine harness
• ECM power supply or grounds
• Electronic vehicle accessories which emit excessive electromagnetic interference.
This fault becomes inactive any time the ECM detects a valid turbocharger speed.
If the fault occurs intermittently:

• Look for causes of intermittent open circuit or short circuits in the turbocharger speed sensor circuit (including the
speed sensor pigtail connector).
• Look for sources of electronic noise such as poorly installed vehicle electronic components.
• Ensure that vehicle chassis grounds are in good condition.
• Ensure that the ECM power supply and ground circuits are in good condition and that this power supply is not shared
with other vehicle electronics.
