Unscrew the four hex socket head bolts (item 4) holding actuator to the turbocharger and remove the actuator. Remove and discard the gasket (FIGURE 9). FIGURE 9 1) Alignment Pin 2) Actuator Housing 3) Gasket 4) Screw (4 Required) 5) Grease Applicator Tube INSTALLATION 13. Using gloves, manually rotate the turbocharger sector gear back and forth (counterclockwise and clockwise) (FIGURE 10). It should be noted that when the sector gear is at the end of travel, or at an end stop, it can require significant force to overcome friction then, start its motion in the opposite direction. This is normal and not cause for concern. Apply more force to move the sector gear. Once in motion, the sector gear movement should be smooth, without binding or sticking until it reaches its end of travel (end stop). FIGURE 10 Redact: EL Special Bulletin SP16-301B Date Expiration Release Page 02.2016 02.2018 4 6(12) 14. Rotate the sector gear fully counterclockwise until contact is made with the end stop of the variable geometry internal mechanism. 1/4 to 3/4 of the 3mm (0.118 inch) reference hole should be visible at the edge of the sector gear nearest the turbine housing (FIGURE 11). FIGURE 11 ALIGNMENT HOLE INSPECTION, 3MM (0.118 INCH) HOLE 15. For turbochargers manufactured without the small 3mm (0.118 inch) alignment hole, a portion (half) of the 5mm (0.197 inch) alignment hole should be exposed at the compressor housing side of the sector gear when the sector gear is fully rotated toward the turbine housing (FIGURE 12). FIGURE 12 ALIGNMENT HOLE INSPECTION, 5MM (0.197 INCH) HOLE 16. Rotate the sector gear fully clockwise. Make sure that the alignment pin fits through the sector gear into the alignment hole in the housing (FIGURE 13). The diameter of the alignment hole is 5mm (0.197 inch). Note: If the sector gear does not align properly with the alignment hole or does not rotate properly in either direction, replace the turbocharger. FIGURE 13 Redact: EL Special Bulletin SP16-301B Date Expiration Release Page 02.2016 02.2018 4 7(12) IMPORTANT NOTE: Make sure that the actuator and turbocharger housing mating surfaces (where the gasket sits) are clean and smooth (see the mating surface on the turbocharger housing on FIGURE 14). FIGURE 14 17. Lubricate the sector gear teeth using the grease applicator tube that comes in the installation kit (FIGURE 15). FIGURE 15 18. Remove the alignment pin without disturbing the position of the sector gear. The gear must not be moved from this position (FIGURE 16). FIGURE 16 Redact: EL Special Bulletin SP16-301B Date Expiration Release Page 02.2016 02.2018 4 8(12) 19. Connect the actuator electrical wiring harness connector to the engine wiring harness connector. Install tie straps as needed to secure the harness (FIGURE 17). 20. Connect the VCADS Pro PC (PTT) to the vehicle diagnostic data connector and turn the ignition switch ON. Using the on screen directions in VCADS Pro, perform the VGT calibration procedure. Perform the actuator drive gear install position, which is step 2 of the calibration procedure. VGT CALIBRATION PTT OPERATION NUMBER: 2551‐07‐03‐01 FIGURE 17 Note: Do not disturb the actuator drive gear after the gear is in the install position. Proper calibration of the actuator drive gear to the turbocharger sector gear must be maintained for proper operation. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position when done. 21. Install two new mounting screws diagonally across the actuator. Place a new gasket over the protruding screws at the back of the actuator (FIGURE 18). Note: Always use the new screws and gasket provided in the actuator installation kit. FIGURE 18 Redact: EL Special Bulletin SP16-301B Date Expiration Release Page 02.2016 02.2018 4 9(12) 22. Carefully align the actuator with the turbocharger and install it into position. Hold the actuator in place and hand tighten the two screws. Install the two remaining new screws and finger‐tighten. Use the following steps to tighten the screws (FIGURE 19). a) tighten the screws in the pattern shown to: 27 in‐ lbf (3 Nm) b) tighten the screws in the pattern shown to: 97 in‐ lbf (11 Nm) Once properly torqued, apply torque seal FIGURE 19 23. Turn the ignition key back ON. Using the on screen directions in VCADS Pro, complete the final step of the VGT calibration procedure. If the actuator is installed correctly, the procedure indicates a successful VGT calibration with a green check mark. The SRA runs from full open to close nozzle positions to ensure proper calibrated SRA travel. If the calibration fails, either the pre‐positioning of the actuator drive gear is incorrect, the sector gear positioning is incorrect, the actuator is faulty or the turbocharger sector gear and nozzle ring mechanism is damaged. Turn OFF the ignition switch when done. 24. If the actuator is suspected of being faulty and requires replacement, follow the preceding installation steps with the new actuator. 25. Connect the coolant lines to the actuator and tighten the fittings (FIGURE 20). coolant inlet & return port fitting: Torque 9±2 lbf‐ft (12±3 Nm) Once properly torqued, apply torque seal FIGURE 20 1) Coolant Return Port 2) Coolant Inlet Port Redact: EL Special Bulletin SP16-301B Date Expiration Release Page 02.2016 02.2018 4 10(12) REINSTALLATION OF COOLANT PIPE 26.
