id0116c1801100

With Throttle Valve Actuator Only

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.  Remove the battery cover. (See BATTERY REMOVAL/INSTALLATION[ZJ, ZY, Z6].)

2.  Disconnect the negative battery cable.

3.  Disconnect the EGR valve connector.

4.  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. (See INTAKE-AIR SYSTEM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION[ZJ, ZY, Z6].)

2.  Inspect the following wiring harnesses for an open or short circuit (continuity check).

Open circuit

•  If there is no continuity, the circuit is open. Repair or replace the wiring harness.

―  EGR valve terminal A and PCM terminal 2O

―  EGR valve terminal B and PCM terminal 2P

―  EGR valve terminal C and PCM terminal 2BC

―  EGR valve terminal D and PCM terminal 2BC

―  EGR valve terminal E and PCM terminal 2K

―  EGR valve terminal F and PCM terminal 2T

Short circuit

•  If there is continuity, the circuit is short. 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
