For EGR Atmospheric (EGRA) solenoid:

- Measure resistance between test pin 12 and test pins 37 and 57 at the breakout box.

- Measure resistance between test pin 12 and test pins 40 and 60 at the breakout box.

For EGR Vacuum (EGRV) solenoid:

- Measure resistance between test pin 33 and test pins 37 and 57 at the breakout box.

- Measure resistance between test pin 33 and test pins 40 and 60 at the breakout box.

- Is each resistance greater than 10,000 ohms?

Yes -- Replace PCM. Remove breakout box. Reconnect solenoid. Rerun quick test. Quick Test Appendix (Detailed Testing Instructions)

No -- Service short circuit. Remove breakout box. Reconnect all components. Rerun quick test. Quick Test Appendix (Detailed Testing Instructions)
