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 [MZ-CD 1.6 (Y6)].)

2.  Disconnect the negative battery cable.

3.  Disconnect the EGR valve connector.

4.  Measure the resistance between the EGR valve terminals C and D.

•  If within the specification, perform the “Circuit Open/Short Inspection”.
•  If not within the specification, replace the EGR valve.
EGR valve motor resistance
Approx. 4 ohms


Circuit Open/Short Inspection

1.  Disconnect the PCM connector. (See PCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [MZ-CD 1.6 (Y6)].)

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 C and PCM terminal 227
―  EGR valve terminal D and PCM terminal 228
Short circuit
•  If there is continuity, the circuit is shorted. Repair or replace the wiring harness.
―  EGR valve terminal C and body ground
―  EGR valve terminal C and power supply
―  EGR valve terminal D and body ground
―  EGR valve terminal D and power supply
