How to Fix an Electronic Turbo Actuator That's Not Working?

As a leading member of many leading Turbo Manufacturers "no repair policy", should you have an defective Electronic Turbo Actuator, basically means that you would need to purchase the whole Turbocharger as well as the Electronic Turbo Actuator to be able to complete your repair job. As most car enthusiasts know, and rightly so, an Electronic Turbo Actuator is much more complex than a standard Turbo, both in terms of the software and the wiring involved, and these can sometimes prove difficult to troubleshoot if you're not sure what you are doing. If this sounds familiar to you, don't despair, we've written this short article just for you, the repair guide for the common problems associated with electronic turbochargers. The first thing to note when repairing a Turbo, (or any other engine for that matter), is to make sure you know exactly what type of problem you are dealing with before you even start working on it. In other words, if it's a power steering pump problem, you shouldn't even think about working on the turbo until you know for sure that the power steering pump is the problem.

There are many common problems that can cause issues with Electronic Turbo Actuators, some of which are covered below. Common problems that are common with most electronic turbo actuators are: - Low Boost Control. This basically means that the turbo isn't responding at full speed when you press the accelerator, essentially because the boost control has been incorrectly set. This will almost certainly be caused by either the wiring on the actuators, or a simple lack of ground wire connections between the actuators and the turbo.

- Light Switch Failure. Sometimes a light switch will fail on your Electronic Turbo Actuator. This normally happens when you've installed a new part, or switched the system on and off several times. It can also happen if you remove a previous part. You should never take your car to a mechanic unless you absolutely need to, as they will most likely be able to get the light switch back into position, though this may be a bit of a hassle.

- City Diesel Pump Failure. This is basically just like the above problem, except that you're using a city diesel instead of propane. As the name suggests, a city diesel motor runs much hotter than a propane turbo actuator, so this can lead to parts getting fried.

You should also check for any warning error codes before calling anyone to come and service your Electronic Turbo Actuator. Some common warning error codes are: * EC voltage not metered out. * EC fuel injector pressure not metered out. * Firing on but no fuel being injected.

If none of these things apply to your car then it's possible that you have a blown fuse causing your issue. To fix these fuse problems you can either have your existing fuse panel replaced with a new one or you can replace both the fuse boxes with new ones. In most cases it's best to replace both, as one burnt fuse can lead to a series of faults that can be extremely expensive to repair. I recommend calling in a professional electronic turbo shop to do the job. They can easily replace your Electronic Turbo Actuator and get you back on the road in no time.
