Vacuum Check Valve: Description and Operation


OPERATION
Solenoid--energized by the ECM during cold engine operation--blocks ported vacuum to the EGR valve.
- When engine temperature is at or above the value programmed into the ECM, the module de-energizes the solenoid, which then directs ported vacuum to the EGR valve, activating the EGR system.
