EGR Valve Lift Sensor
- Disconnect EGR valve lift sensor 3-wire harness connector located on top of EGR valve. Turn ignition on. Using a voltmeter, check for 5-volt reference voltage between ground and Yellow/White wire terminal. If 5 volts are not present, check voltage source at ECU terminal D20 (Yellow/White wire).
- Turn ignition off. Reconnect harness connector. Using a voltmeter, backprobe Black/White (positive) and Green/White (negative) wires of 3-wire harness connector. Connect a vacuum pump to EGR valve. Slowly apply vacuum. Voltage value should smoothly change from 1.2 to 4.0 volts as vacuum is applied and released.
- If sensor does not respond as indicated, replace EGR valve/lift sensor. If Code 12 is set, go to Code 12 diagnostic procedures in TESTS W/CODES article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE Section.
