EGR Valve: Testing and Inspection

EGR VALVE INSPECTION[LF. L3]

On-vehicle Inspection
1. Verify that the buzzing sound (valve operation sound) is heard from the EGR valve when engine cranking.
- If the buzzing sound is not heard, perform the resistance inspection.

Resistance Inspection
1. Disconnect the EGR valve connector.







2. Measure the resistance between the EGR valve terminals.
- If within the specification, perform out the "Circuit Open/Short Inspection".
- If not within the specification, replace the EGR valve.

Circuit Open/Short Inspection




1. Disconnect the PCM connector.
2. Inspect the following wiring harnesses for open or short circuit (continuity check).

Open circuit
- If there is no continuity, there is an open circuit. Repair or replace the wiring harness.
- EGR valve terminal A and PCM terminal 2G*1,2AR*2
- EGR valve terminal B and PCM terminal 2L*1,2AY*2
- EGR valve terminal E and PCM terminal 2K*1,2AU*2
- EGR valve terminal F and PCM terminal 2H*1,2AV*2
- EGR valve terminal C and main relay terminal A
- EGR valve terminal D and main relay terminal A

Short circuit
- If there is continuity, there is a short circuit. Repair or replace the wiring harness.
- EGR valve terminal A and body ground
- EGR valve terminal B and body ground
- EGR valve terminal E and body ground
- EGR valve terminal F and body ground
