Diagnostic Procedures

  1. Turn ignition on, engine off. Using scan tool, monitor EGR SOLENOID - OPEN or EGR SOLENOID - HIGH VOLT test. If scan tool indicates TEST FAIL, go to next step. If scan tool does not indicate TEST FAIL, problem is intermittent. See DIAGNOSTIC AIDS  .
  2. Disconnect EGR solenoid harness connector. Connect a test light between EGR solenoid harness connector terminals "A" (Light Blue wire) and "E" (Red wire). Using scan tool, monitor EGR SOLENOID - OPEN or EGR SOLENOID - HIGH VOLT test. If scan tool does not indicate TEST PASS, go to next step. If scan tool indicates TEST PASS, check for terminal tightness or faulty EGR solenoid. Repair or replace as necessary.
  3. Using DVOM, check voltage on EGR solenoid harness connector terminal "E" (Red wire). If ignition voltage is present, go to next step. If ignition voltage is not present, check for open in circuit or for terminal tightness. Repair as necessary. If circuit or terminal connector is okay, replace PCM.
  4. Connect a test between battery voltage and EGR solenoid harness connector terminal "A" (Light Blue wire). If test light illuminates, check for short to voltage in circuit No. 1676 (Red wire) between EGR and PCM. If test light does not illuminate, check for open in circuit or for terminal tightness. Repair as necessary. If circuit or terminal connector is okay, replace PCM.
