Code 32, EGR Circuit Error With Linear EGR: Notes
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 18 other vehicles, including the 1994 GMC Vandura Special, 1994 GMC Vandura, 1994 GMC Suburban, 1994 GMC Rally Camper Special, and 1994 GMC Rally. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
ECM regulates linear EGR valve to control exhaust gas recirculation by providing a ground control for internal pintle (solenoid). Pintle will pull away from its seat when energized. ECM controls linear EGR valve based upon coolant temperature and throttle position.
NOTE:
Test numbers refer to test numbers on diagnostic chart.
- Checks pintle's ability to be commanded to desired position.
- Checks for voltage to linear EGR valve to verify if problem is in ignition feed circuit.
- Checks ECM control circuit by jumpering across harness terminals with a test light and grounding ALDL (DLC) test terminal "B" to command EGR on.
