Value: -5 to 5 %

Yes

=>Go to Intake throttle valve operation check.

No

=>Go to EGR valve inspection.

6. Intake throttle valve operation check

1) Observe the Desired Intake Throttle Valve Position parameter and Intake Throttle Position parameter on the scan tool. Is the difference between the Desired Intake Throttle Valve Position parameter and the Intake Throttle Position parameter within the specified range?

Note

Value: -5 to 5 %

Yes

=>Go to Intake throttle valve operation check using a scan tool.

No

=>Go to Intake throttle valve inspection.

7. Intake throttle valve operation check using a scan tool

1) Perform the Intake Throttle with a scan tool.

2) While observing the Desired Intake Throttle Valve Position parameter and Intake Throttle Position parameter on the scan tool, command the intake throttle valve OPEN/CLOSE. Is the difference between the Desired Intake Throttle Valve Position parameter and the Intake Throttle Position parameter within the specified range?

Value: -5 to 5 %

Yes

The system is normal.

No

=>Go to Intake throttle valve inspection.

8. EGR valve inspection

1) Remove the EGR valve from the engine.

Refer to "1.Engine 1H.Aux. Emission Control Devices(4JJ3 without DPD) EGR valve removal".

2) Inspect the EGR valve for the following. Is the result normal?

  • The flow in the EGR valve is restricted by foreign material.
  • Excessive deposits in the valve
  • Bent valve shaft or valve

Yes

=>Go to Inspection of EGR valve circuit.

No

Repair or replace as necessary.

=>Go to Repair verification.

9. Inspection of EGR valve circuit

1) Inspect for poor connections at the EGR valve harness connector (pins 3 and 4 of E32). Is the connection status normal?

2) Inspect for poor connections at the ECM harness connector (pins 7 and 9 of C10). Is the connection status normal?

3) Inspect the circuit between the ECM (pins 7 and 9 of C10) and the EGR valve (pins 3 and 4 of E32) for high resistance. Is the result normal?

Refer to "LHD Engine Control (4JJ3 without DPD)" in the ETM (wiring diagram). (Open using the ETM viewer.).

Refer to "RHD Engine Control (4JJ3 without DPD)" in the ETM (wiring diagram). (Open using the ETM viewer.).

4) Are all of the results normal?

Yes
