Pressure Regulator Control (PRC) Solenoid
- Disconnect intake air temperature sensor on dynamic chamber. Connect a 3000 ohms resistor to sensor connector. Disconnect coolant temperature sensor. Connect a 200 ohms resistor to sensor connector.
- Connect voltmeter between PRC solenoid Blue/Black wire and ground. With engine running, voltage should be less than 2.5 volts for 4 minutes after starting. After 4 minutes, voltage should be 12 volts. If not repair wiring or connection. See Fig 1
