DTC P0299: Turbocharger Underboost Problem

NOTE: Before you troubleshoot, record all freeze data and any on-board snapshot, and review the general troubleshooting information (see GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION ).
  1. Inspect the air cleaner element (see AIR CLEANER ELEMENT INSPECTION/REPLACEMENT ).

    Is the air cleaner element clogged? 

    YES  -Replace the air cleaner element (see AIR CLEANER ELEMENT INSPECTION/REPLACEMENT ), then go to step  18.

    NO  -Go to step 2.

  2. Check for leaks or damage at these parts.
    • Intake air duct (turbocharger outlet pipe)
    • Intake air duct (charge air cooler inlet hose)
    • Intake air duct (charge air cooler outlet tube)

    Are the parts OK? 

    YES  -Go to step 3.

    NO  -Repair or replace the damaged parts, then go to step  18.

  3. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
  4. Clear the DTC with the HDS.
  5. Do the TURBOCHARGER BYPASS CONTROL SYSTEM TEST in the INSPECTION MENU with the HDS.

    Is the result OK? 

    YES  -Go to step  11.

    NO  -Go to step 6.

  6. Select TURBOCHARGER BYPASS CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE ON in the INSPECTION MENU with the HDS.

    Do you hear the solenoid operating? 

    YES  -Go to step 7.

    NO  -Replace the turbocharger bypass control solenoid valve (see TURBOCHARGER BYPASS CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE REPLACEMENT  ), then go to step  18.

  7. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
  8. Remove the charge air cooler cover (see step 1 under CHARGE AIR COOLER REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION ).
  9. Check for poor connections, blockage, or damage at these parts.

      Are the parts OK? 

      YES  -Go to step 10.

      NO  -Repair or replace any damaged parts, then go to step  18.

  10. Inspect the turbocharger bypass control solenoid valve (see TURBOCHARGER BYPASS CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE INSPECTION  ).

    Is the solenoid valve OK? 

    YES  -Inspect the turbocharger bypass control valve (see TURBOCHARGER BYPASS CONTROL VALVE REPLACEMENT ).

    NO  -Replace the turbocharger bypass control solenoid valve (see TURBOCHARGER BYPASS CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE REPLACEMENT  ), then go to step  18.

  11. Do the TURBOCHARGER WASTEGATE CONTROL SYSTEM TEST in the INSPECTION MENU with the HDS.

    Is the result OK? 

    YES  -Go to step  12.

    NO  -Go to step  13.

  12. Check for clogging or damage in these parts:
  13. Select TURBOCHARGER WASTEGATE CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE ON in the INSPECTION MENU with the HDS.

    Do you hear the solenoid operating? 

    YES  -Go to step 14.

    NO  -Replace the turbocharger wastegate control solenoid valve (see TURBOCHARGER WASTEGATE CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE REPLACEMENT  ), then go to step  18.

  14. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
  15. Remove the charge air cooler (see REMOVAL ).
  16. Check for blockage or clogging at these parts:
    • Hose (A) between the turbocharger wastegate control solenoid valve and intake air duct (turbocharger inlet connecting tube)
    • Intake air duct (turbocharger inlet connecting tube) port (B)

    Are the parts OK? 

    YES  -Go to step 17.

    NO  -Repair or replace any damaged parts, then go to step  18.

  17. Inspect the turbocharger wastegate control solenoid valve (see TURBOCHARGER BYPASS CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE REPLACEMENT  ).

    Is the solenoid valve OK? 

    YES  -Check the turbocharger (see TURBOCHARGER AND EXHAUST MANIFOLD REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION ) and turbocharger wastegate control actuator (see TURBOCHARGER CONTROL SYSTEM DIAGRAM ). Repair or replace any faulty parts, then go to step 18.

    NO  -Replace the turbocharger wastegate control solenoid valve (see TURBOCHARGER WASTEGATE CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE REPLACEMENT  ), then go to step 18.

  18. Install the parts in the reverse order of removal.
  19. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
  20. Reset the PCM with the HDS.
  21. Do the PCM idle learn procedure (see PCM IDLE LEARN PROCEDURE ).
  22. Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3, 000 RPM without load (in P or N) until the radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.
  23. Test-drive under these conditions:
    • Engine speed above 3, 800 RPM
    • REL TP SENSOR above 59 deg
    • Transmission in D
    • Drive at least 4 seconds
  24. Check for Pending or Confirmed DTCs with the HDS.

    Is DTC P0299 indicated? 

    YES  -Check the turbocharger bypass control solenoid valve, turbocharger wastegate control solenoid valve, and its connecting hose and port, then go to step  1.

    NO  -Troubleshooting is complete. If any other Pending or Confirmed DTCs are indicated, go to the indicated DTC'S TROUBLESHOOTING .
