DESCRIPTION
HINT:
Turbocharger noise is classified into two types. These are whistling sound and chattering sound. During troubleshooting, first determine the type of noise.
Type of Abnormal Noise | Outline of Abnormal Noise | Major Trouble Area |
---|---|---|
Whistling sound (airflow sound) | The whistling sound volume and pitch are proportional to the turbocharger or engine speed. The abnormal noise level becomes clear when the engine speed is increased. |
|
Chattering sound (metallic sound) | The chattering sound pitch is lower than the whistling sound pitch. Has a comparatively constant pitch that is independent of the engine speed and vehicle speed. | Turbocharger HINT:

PROCEDURE
1. | CONFIRM CONDITION IN WHICH NOISE OCCURRED |
(a) Confirm with the customer the condition when noise occurred.
HINT:
To clearly understand the conditions in which the noise occurred, the items in the table below are useful.
Item | Note |
---|---|
Engine speed | Engine speed range |
Vehicle speed | Vehicle speed range |
Transmission gear | Which gear? |
Accelerator pedal position | During acceleration or deceleration? |
Temperature |
|
Road conditions |
|
Noise level |
|
Other symptoms |
|
Noise recognition | What made the customer determine that the sound was a malfunction? |

2. | CHECK DTC OUTPUT |
(a) Check the DTCs.
Powertrain > Engine > Trouble Codes Result | Proceed to |
---|---|
DTC is not output | A |
DTCs are output | B |
HINT:
B | GO TO DTC CHART |
|
3. | PERFORM SIMULATION TEST |
(a) Check whether the noise described by the customer occurs.
HINT:
If an abnormal noise is heard, check whether it matches the noise described by the customer.
(b) If an abnormal noise is confirmed, determine which system emits it.
Result | Proceed to |
---|---|
Noise occurs (ticking or rattling (metallic sound) during idling) | A |
Noise occurs (squealing (metallic sound) when driving) | B |
Noise occurs (hissing (airflow sound) when driving) | C |
Noise occurs (whistling or foghorn-like (airflow sound) during acceleration or deceleration) | D |
The noise described by the customer could not be confirmed. | E |

A | REPLACE TURBOCHARGER SUB-ASSEMBLY |
C | GO TO STEP 8 |
D | GO TO STEP 12 |
E | GO TO STEP 17 |
|
4. | CHECK TURBOCHARGER SUB-ASSEMBLY |
(a) Check that the turbine shaft rotates smoothly, without catching.
Click here
(b) Check for loose turbine mounting nuts and for axial play in the turbine shaft.

HINT:
If the turbine shaft catches or if there no play or excessive play, it could indicate poor sliding due to seal damage due to seizing or a deposit build-up.
Standard value:
0.10 mm (0.00394 in.) or less
Result | Proceed to |
---|---|
No turbine shaft malfunction | A |
Turbine shaft malfunction | B |

5. | CHECK TURBOCHARGER SUB-ASSEMBLY |
(a) Check for damage to the compressor impeller.
(b) Check for interference between the compressor impeller and the compressor housing.
Result | Proceed to |
---|---|
No damage or interference | A |
Damage or interference exists | B |

7. | PERFORM SIMULATION TEST |
(a) Check that the abnormal noise has disappeared.
NEXT | END |
8. | CHECK TURBOCHARGER SUB-ASSEMBLY |
(a) Check that no soot or oil adheres to the turbocharger sub-assembly connectors.
HINT:
If adhering soot or an oil leak exists, air leaking at that position may be the cause of the abnormal noise.
Result | Proceed to |
---|---|
No adhering soot or an oil | A |
Soot adhering around the turbine housing, flange, or V band (A in the illustration) | B |
Oil leak from the contact surface between the compressor housing and the seal plate or between the seal plate and the bearing housing (B in the illustration) | |
Oil adhering to the compressor flange (C in the illustration) | C |
