DTC Descriptor

DTC P2261

Turbocharger Bypass Valve Stuck Closed

System Description

The BorgWarner™ dual-scroll turbocharger incorporates a wastegate that is controlled by a pressure differential, that is determined by the engine control module (ECM) by means of a PWM solenoid, in order to regulate the pressure ratio of the compressor. A bypass valve is integrated within the unit, and is also controlled by the ECM by utilizing a remotely mounted solenoid to prevent compressor surging and damage from vibrations by opening during abrupt closed throttle conditions. When the valve is commanded open during closed throttle deceleration conditions, the bypass valve allows the air to recirculate in the turbocharger and maintain compressor speed. Within a calibrated range during the closed throttle event, or upon a wide open throttle command, the valve will then close to optimize turbocharger response.

Front wheel drive platforms also incorporate a bypass valve vacuum tank. The purpose of the tank is to provide an instant source of vacuum to the bypass valve, when it is commanded open by the ECM. This results in less pressure buildup under closed throttle conditions, thereby reducing compressor noise and surge.

The purpose of this diagnostic is to determine if the bypass valve is stuck closed. The ECM will first verify the integrity of the following sensors. The ECM then compares the actual measured mass air flow (MAF) to a modeled airflow that is derived from these inputs:


Throttle position

Engine speed

Intake air pressure sensor

Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor


Conditions for Running the DTC


DTCs P0033, P0034, P0035, P0096, P0097, P0098, P0099, P0100, P0101, P0102, P0103, P0106, P0107, P0108, P0121, P0122, P0123, P0221, P0222, P0223, P0234, P0236, P0237, P0238, P0299, P2227, P2228, or P2229, is not set.

The boost pressure versus the BARO pressure ratio is between 1.1-3.3.

The turbocharger bypass valve has been commanded ON for greater than 1 s immediately after an abrupt closed throttle has occurred and the resulting pressure ratio across the compressor exceeds the calibrated pressure ratio limit.

The battery voltage is between 10-18 V.

This DTC runs continuously within the enabling conditions.


Conditions for Setting the DTC

The ECM by comparing the measured MAF to the modeled MAF has detected a series of pulsations in the induction system that exceed a calibrated threshold.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

DTC P2261 is a Type B DTC.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

DTC P2261 is a Type B DTC.

Circuit/System Verification


1. Verify that DTC P0033, P0034, or P0035 is not set.

2. If any of the DTCs are set, refer to DTC P0033-P0035 (LDK With Turbocharger) .

3. Use the scan tool output controls to command the turbocharger bypass solenoid ON and OFF. An audible click should be heard and felt.

4. If the click is not heard or felt, refer to DTC P0033-P0035 (LDK With Turbocharger) .

5. Set up the scan tool for a snapshot of the induction data list. With the handbrake on, gearbox in neutral and the engine idling. Floor and quickly release the accelerator. Review the Boost Pressure Sensor parameter. There should not be any abnormal pulsations of the parameter.

6. With the handbrake on and the engine idling in neutral. Perform a sound test on the valve by flooring and quickly releasing the accelerator. A valve that is stuck shut will generate a rapid pulsating sound. There should not be any unusual noise.

7. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC to verify the DTC does not reset. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.


Circuit/System Testing


1. Inspect for any vacuum leaks, damage, restrictions, improper routing or connecting of the vacuum hoses on the turbocharger bypass valve solenoid, the bypass valve, and the bypass valve vacuum tank.

2. Clear the DTC and operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC.

3. If the DTC cannot be cleared or continues to reset, replace the turbocharger bypass valve.
