Abstract
In some implementations, a controller may cause first adjustment of at least one component of a variable geometry turbocharger (VGT) of the machine. The controller may cause, based on causing the first adjustment of the at least one component of the VGT, second adjustment of the at least one component of the VGT. The controller may determine, based on causing the second adjustment of the at least one component of the VGT, an amount of time for a speed of the VGT to decrease to less than or equal to speed threshold. The controller may determine, based on the amount of time, VGT assessment information. The controller may determine, based on the VGT assessment information, one or more actions to be performed.
