Code 32, EGR Circuit Error With Linear EGR: Notes

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.
  1. Checks pintle's ability to be commanded to desired position.
  2. Checks for voltage to linear EGR valve to verify if problem is in ignition feed circuit.
  3. Checks ECM control circuit by jumpering across harness terminals with a test light and grounding ALDL (DLC) test terminal "B" to command EGR on.
