EGR VALVE POSITION SENSOR INSPECTION [WL-C, WE-C]


id0140b7807600

Note
•  Perform the following inspection only when directed.

Resistance Inspection

1.  Disconnect the EGR valve connector.

2.  Measure the resistance between EGR valve connector terminals A and B.

•  If not within the specification, replace the EGR valve.
•  If as specified, carry out the “Circuit Open/Short Inspection”.
Resistance
Approx. 5 kilohm

Voltage Inspection

1.  Disconnect the EGR valve connector.

2.  Turn the engine switch to the ON position (Engine off).

3.  Measure the voltage between EGR valve connector terminal C and body ground.

•  If not as specified, perform the “Circuit Open/short Inspection”.
―  If there is no open/short circuit replace the EGR valve. (See EGR SYSTEM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [WL-C, WE-C].)
Specification (Reference)
Approx. 0.6 V

4.  Start the engine and warm up the engine completely.

5.  Measure the voltage between EGR valve connector terminal C and body ground.

•  If not as specified, perform the “Circuit Open/Short inspection”.
―  If there is no open/short circuit replace the EGR valve. (See EGR SYSTEM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [WL-C, WE-C].)
Specification (Reference)
Above 3.0 V

CIrcuit Open/Short Inspection

1.  Disconnect the EGR valve connector.

2.  Disconnect the PCM connector. (See PCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [WL-C, WE-C].) (See PCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION (U.K. Specs.) [WL-C, WE-C].)

3.  Inspect for an open or short circuit in the following wiring harnesses.

•  If there is an open or short circuit, repair or replace wiring harnesses.
