Roger,Hi fordfool,
What are you using to obtain these codes?
DAD Unit...... very good, the codes are pretty valid.
DRB-III........even better, the codes are very valid.
MB Star SDS system...... probably the best, but you need to be a dealer!
Dodge/Freightliner Diagnostics Systems.... nearly as good as the SDS!
Generic code readers.... the codes could be valid, and then again maybe not, but they
may point you in the right direction for bad sensors etc.
Generic code readers are:
Scan Gauge II
Dash DAQ
All the rest......!

Roger,Hi Dick,
Sorry didn't notice which forum this was on as I clicked on it in the
Sprinterbox up at the top!
Right you are on the different P code meanings and different scanners for
the T1N vs NCV3.
I was hoping we could nudge those who post about DTC P Codes to provide
more clarity on the year model (T1N vs NCV3) and what sort of scanner they
are using so we can provide information that's valid and applicable to their
vehicle when we offer to help.
If I have offended by asking this, I apologize!
Roger
There is a fairly comprehensive list of DTCs which might coughed up by US/Canadian NCV3 Sprinters2513 Intake Port Spiral Actuator??
2510 Boost PSI Regulator Control??
These codes are the latest, 2513 has occurred before and was reset.
2510 is a new code, or at least the first time that this van produced it.
Any ideas of what the problem(s) is/are?
Rich
Hi fordfool,
OK, here's what I find on your codes in the Eric Ord's
Complete Sprinter Fault Code Guide
Volume 2:2007-2010.
P2510 Sub Code 1 = Boost Pressure Regulator (Y77/1) Positioner Signal Fault
P2510 Sub Code 2= Boost Pressure Regulator (Y77/1) Positioner Signal Fault
P2513 Sub Code 1= EKAS Inlet Port Shutoff Switchover Valve (Y83) Positioner Signal Fault
P2513 Sub Code 2= EKAS Inlet Port Shutoff Switchover Valve (Y83) Positioner Signal Fault
Do you know if your mechanic's Snap-On Machine has a fault code book specific to NCV3
Sprinters?
Roger
Thank for your input Jon. I appreciate it also. Every little bit helps.There is a fairly comprehensive list of DTCs which might coughed up by US/Canadian NCV3 Sprinters

There's no diagnostic guidance to go with the codes - that's way too much work to put together in my dwindling spare time - just an explanation from the NCV3 (2007) Service Info
If the codes don't match yours, it's because many scan tools simply don't register the right integers; but often the "generic tools" get the description right.
Once the description is match to and a factory code and is written down, you can subscribe to www.techauthority.com's "Tech Authority Online" for guidance about remedial actions to take.
The online web app, "Techauthority Online" is very similar to the dealership computer system, DealerConnect, and (unlike the NCV3 service manuals, Techauthority Online has a search function so you can find info about a specific DTC.
Again, the first thing to do is to make sure you know the code for "Intake Port Spiral Actuator" and then look up what to do on Techauthority Online.

PS: there is always a chance that the code reader is really reporting false info and the chance the that description won't match up to anything in the code list. At that point you really do need a factory scan tool like StarMOBILE (2007-2009), WiTECH (2007-2009) or MB SDS (2002-present); or perhaps a known good code reader like the AutoEnginuity product mentioned in another thread.
I have done that several times. Other than feeling "guilty" I noticed no problems but I do live in California and the temps are not severe.Roger,
It is a 2007 Dodge Sprinter 2500. I recently pulled the turbo actuator off and sent it off to be rebuilt/repaired. But I will also say that these codes may have come up from being started prior to the glow plug going out?? I had just made a delivery and was leaving, in a hurry, cranked it over and started before the glow plug light was out.

What if the actuator is moving when i remove the plug but it doesn't move on the ignition cycle ? please help , thank youThe 2510 and the 2513, can go hand in hand ..... That being said , What you need to do is remove the suction pipe from the turbo then look straight down , that little black box is the intake shuttoff valve actuator ..... (swirl port actuator, EKAS) now have someone cycle the ignition .... and watch the linkage on the left side intake ( you can bairly see it just under the turbo, as your looking at it to your right) when the key is cycled ( but not started) the actuator should Actuate ( you should see the linkage move) If it does nothing , then unplug the connector and plug it back in, the actuator should try to actuate. If it does nothing , test the circuits to the actuator .... black/w green stripe= ignition on power (12-14 V) brown= ground, the other wire (brown/blue stripe) goes back to the CDI control unit pin 20 big connector. if all is good then you need to check to see if the linkage is binding... if it is not binding then you need an actuator.... Order the linkage clips with the new one. Yes you will have to remove the whole Turbo to do the job correcty. NOTE: careful with the linkage for it is made of plastic , if you break it you will need a new intake manifold. ( linkage is not sold seperatly)
The tie in to the turbo actuator is the Black/ green wire ( circuit 87) and the ground.
