INSPECT ELECTRIC EGR CONTROL VALVE ASSEMBLY
Inspect the vacuum regulating valve.
Check that there is continuity between the terminals.

Inspect the EGR valve.
When a vacuum of 26.7 kPa (200 mmHg, 7.87 in.Hg) is applied to the diaphragm chamber, check that the shaft rises and that air flows out.
Maintaining the above conditions, check again that there are no leaks and that the shaft does not lower.
Check that the valve is not stuck and does not have heavy carbon deposits.
If the result is not as specified, replace the EGR valve.
Inspect the EGR valve position sensor.
Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between terminals 1 (VC) and 2 (E2) of the EGR valve position sensor.
| Standard resistance |
|---|
| 4.0 to 6.0 kΩ at 20°C (68°F) |
If the result is not as specified, replace the EGR valve.
Create a vacuum in the diaphragm chamber. Measure the resistance between terminals 3 (EGLS) and (E2) of the lift sensor when the valve is fully opened and fully closed.

Tech Tips
The resistance increases in proportion to the opening angle of the EGR valve.
If the result is not as specified, replace the EGR valve.
