EGR VALVE ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION

PROCEDURE


  1. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING GTS (CONTROL THE EGR STEP POSITION)


    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the power switch on (IG).

    3. Turn the GTS on.

    4. Put the engine in inspection mode (maintenance mode).

    5. Start the engine and warm it up until the engine coolant temperature reaches 75°C (167°F) or higher.

      Tech Tips

      The A/C switch and all accessory switches should be off.

    6. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Active Test / Control the EGR Step Position / Data List / Intake Manifold Absolute Pressure and Engine Independent.


      Powertrain > Engine > Active Test
      Active Test Display
      Control the EGR Step Position
      Data List Display
      Intake Manifold Absolute Pressure
      Engine Independent

    7. Confirm that the Engine Independent is "Operate" and check the Intake Manifold Absolute Pressure values in the Data List while performing the Active Test.

      Note


      • Do not leave the EGR valve open for 10 seconds or more during the Active Test.

      • Be sure to return the EGR valve to step 0 when the Active Test is completed.

      • Do not open the EGR valve 30 steps or more during the Active Test.

      OK
      Intake Manifold Absolute Pressure value change in response to EGR step position when Engine Independent is Operate in Data List.
      Standard

      Intake Manifold Absolute Pressure

      (Data List)

      		 (EGR valve is fully closed) Intake Manifold Absolute Pressure value is at least +10 kPa (1.45 psi) higher than when EGR valve is fully closed

      Tech Tips


      • If the value of Data List item Engine Independent is "Not Opr" when the engine is idling, charge control is being performed. Perform the Active Test after charge control is complete ("Operate" is displayed).

      • While performing the Active Test, if the increase in the value of Intake Manifold Absolute Pressure value is small, the EGR valve assembly may be a malfunctioning.

      • Even if the EGR valve assembly is malfunctioning, rough idling or an increase in the value of Intake Manifold Absolute Pressure value may occur while performing the Active Test. However, the amount that the value of Intake Manifold Absolute Pressure value increases will be smaller than normal.
