DTC P0046 Turbocharger Vane Control Position Performance (Figure OBD-18)

Figure OBD-18:   Turbocharger Vane Control Position Circuit

Circuit Description

The position of the turbocharger vanes is controlled by the engine control module (ECM). The ECM utilizes a turbocharger vane
control solenoid valve and a turbocharger vane position sensor to control the turbocharger vanes. When the engine is not under
load, the turbocharger vanes are in an open position, or no boost condition. When the engine is under load, the ECM commands the
control solenoid valve to close the turbocharger vanes, thus increasing the boost. The ECM will vary the boost dependant upon the
load requirements of the engine. The vane control solenoid valve uses 2 circuits, a control circuit and a low reference circuit. The
ECM uses a pulse width modulation (PWM) on the control circuit to control the solenoid valve. The ECM provides a ground on the
low reference circuit. If the ECM detects that the commanded position of the turbocharger vanes does not match the actual posi-
tion, DTC P0046 will set. 

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The ECM detects that the commanded position of the turbocharger vanes does not match the actual position for 1 second.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets 

• The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition cycle that the diag-

nostic runs and fails. 

• The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time the diagnostic fails, the

control module stores this information in the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a failure on the second consecu-
tive ignition cycle, the control module records the operating conditions at the time of the failure. The control module 
writes the operating conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the Failure Records.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC 

• The control module turns OFF the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition cycles that the diagnostic 

runs and does not fail. 

• A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the diagnostic runs and passes. 

• A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other emission related 

diagnostic.

• Clear the MIL and the DTC with a scan tool. 

Diagnostic Aids 

• If any service has been performed on the turbocharger or on the turbocharger components, a turbocharger relearn must be 

performed. Failure to perform the turbocharger learn procedure may cause this DTC to set.

• For an intermittent condition, refer to Intermittent Conditions.

NOTE: Before clearing DTC(s) use the scan tool “Capture info” to
record Freeze Frame and Failure Records for reference, as data will be
lost when “Clear Info” function is used

1.

Inspect the ECM connector for corrosion, pushed out pins and cor-
rect pin tension.

2.

Connect the ECM and the sensor.

3.

Key on, engine off.

4.

Clear the DTCs.

5.

Perform the On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) Self-Test.

Did you find and correct the condition?

Go to Step 18

Go to Step 7

    7

Measure the resistance of the 5-volt reference circuit 367 (GY) between
the vane position sensor pin C harness side and the engine control mod-
ule (ECM) C75 pin 23 harness side, with a DVOM.

Is the resistance more than the specified value?

5 ohms

Go to Step 16

Go to Step 8

    8

Measure the resistance of the signal circuit 368 (WH) between the vane
position sensor pin B harness side and the ECM C76 pin 31 harness
side, with a DVOM.

Is the resistance more than the specified value?

5 ohms
