ISSUE:
Some 2011-2015 F-150 and 2015 Expedition, Navigator and Transit vehicles equipped with a 3.5L Gasoline Turbocharged Direct Injected (GTDI) engine with an engine build date on or before 2/28/2015 may exhibit diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) P0234 and/or P0299 and/or drivability symptoms.
Drivability symptoms may include surging or noises which may be described as an air rush, hiss, whoosh, whistle, grinding, growling or scraping.
ACTION:
Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
- Check the engine build date. Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM) 303-01. Was the engine built on or before 2/28/2015?
- Yes – proceed to Step 2.
- No – this article does not apply. Refer to Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED) manual for normal diagnostics.
- Disconnect the hose at the turbocharger wastegate actuator.
- Connect a cooling system pressure tester with a pressure gauge to the turbocharger wastegate actuator.
- Slowly apply increasing pressure while monitoring the wastegate actuator rod. The rod should begin to extend at 21-62 kPa (3-9 PSI) and be fully extended at 83-131 kPa (12-19 PSI). The turbocharger wastegate shaft and arm should move smoothly from closed to fully open. Does the turbocharger wastegate actuator and wastegate operate smoothly through the complete range?
- Yes – this article does not apply. Refer to PC/ED manual for normal diagnostics.
- No – replace the affected turbocharger. Refer to WSM, Section 303-04.
