  • Minor efficiency and emissions impact

Common causes

  • Broken wire in TGV 1 actuator circuit
  • Disconnected TGV actuator connector
  • Corroded connector pins
  • Faulty TGV actuator with open motor winding
  • PCM driver circuit open

Diagnostic steps

  1. Test TGV 1 actuator motor resistance
  2. Inspect actuator connector for disconnection or corrosion
  3. Check wiring continuity from PCM to actuator
  4. Verify PCM output signal
  5. Swap actuators between banks to isolate fault

Repair notes

Repair the open circuit in the TGV actuator wiring or replace the actuator if the motor winding is open.
