DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
The EGR system recirculates exhaust gas, which is controlled to the proper quantity to suit the driving conditions into the intake air mixture to slow down combustion, reduce the combustion temperature and reduce NOx emissions,
The lift amount of EGR valve is controlled by the vacuum which is regulated by the E-VRV operated by the ECM.
If even one of the following conditions is fulfilled, the VSV is turned ON by a signal from the ECM. This results in atmospheric air acting on the EGR valve, closing the EGR valve and shutting off the exhaust gas (EGR cut-off).
Under the following conditions, EGR is cut to maintain driveability.
Before the engine is warmed up
Engine speed over 4,000 rpm

CHECK VACUUM
| *1 | Vacuum Gage |
Using a 3-way connector, connect a vacuum gauge to the hose between the VSV and EGR valve.
Warm up the engine to above 80°C (176°F).
Check the vacuum at 1,500 rpm.

CHECK ECM (CHECK VOLTAGE)
Connect the oscilloscope between terminals EGR and E1 of the ECM (E7) connector.
Turn the ignition switch ON.
Reference:
Inspection using the oscilloscope.
During EGR system is ON (engine speed 1,500 rpm), check the waveform between terminals EGR and E1 of ECM (E7) connector.
Tech Tips
The correct waveform is as shown.

PERFORM ACTIVE TEST BY INTELLIGENT TESTER (CHECK ELECTRIC EGR CONTROL VALVE ASSEMBLY (E-VRV))
| *1 | Air Filter |
| *a | Air |
| *b | E-VRV: ON |
| *c | E-VRV: OFF |
Disconnect the vacuum hoses from the E-VRV.
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch ON and the push intelligent tester main switch ON.
Select the ACTIVE TEST mode on the intelligent tester.
Check the operation of the E-VRV when it is operated by the intelligent tester.
| Result |
