Turbocharger Speed Sensor Circuit
Circuit Description
The turbocharger speed sensor is a variable reluctance speed sensor. It consists of a coil
of wire and an iron core. A signal is generated as the turbocharger shaft spins. The target
on the turbocharger shaft is a ground flat in the center of the shaft.
Component Location
The turbocharger speed sensor is located in the center housing of the turbocharger. Refer
to Procedure 100-002 for a detailed component location view.
Shop Talk
This fault becomes active if the engine is running and the turbocharger speed signal rapidly
changes faster than the capabilities of the turbocharger. This fault code can be caused by
an intermittent turbocharger speed sensor connection, incorrect turbocharger speed sensor
air gap, or a faulty turbocharger speed sensor.
