Measure
^ Measure the resistance of the EGR Bypass valve terminals (valve side). The resistance should be 37-44 ohms at 20°C (68°F).
^ Measure the resistance between the terminal (valve side) and the body. The DMM should read 1M ohm or higher.
^ If the resistance is not within the correct specification in either check, replace the EGR bypass valve.
