4. Measure the resistance of harness between ECM connector and electronic wastegate valve connector.
  Connector & terminal
  
  (E52) No. 26 - (E121) No. 4:
  
  (E52) No. 18 - (E121) No. 6:
Is the resistance less than 1 Ω?

Yes: Go to 2.

No: Repair the open circuit in harness between ECM connector and electronic wastegate valve connector.
CHECK FOR POOR CONTACT .
Check for poor contact in ECM and electronic wastegate valve connector.

Is there poor contact in ECM or electronic wastegate valve connector?

Yes: Repair the poor contact of ECM or electronic wastegate valve connector.

No: Replace the turbocharger. Ref. to INTAKE (INDUCTION) (H4DOTC)>TURBOCHARGER .
