INSPECTION OF EGR VALVE
(USA Spec.)
1. DISCONNECT CABLE FROM NEGATIVE TERMINAL OFBATTERY
CAUTION: Work must be started after approx. 20 se-
conds or longer from the time the ignition switch is
turned to the ºLOCKº position and the negative (±) termi-
nal cable is disconnected from the battery.
2. DISCONNECT EGR VALVE CONNECTOR
3. INSPECT EGR VALVE RESISTANCE Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between termi-
nal B1 (or B2) and other terminals (S1, S2, S3 and S4).
Resistance (Cold): 19.9±23.4
4. DRAIN ENGINE COOLANT (See page CO±6)
5. REMOVE EGR VALVE (a) Disconnect the following hoses:(1) Water by±pass hose (from ISC valve) from the EGR
valve
(2) Water by±pass hose (from rear water by±pass joint) from the EGR valve
(b) Remove the two nuts, EGR valve and gasket.
6. INSPECT EGR VALVE
A. Visually inspect EGR valve Check for sticking and heavy carbon deposits.
If a problem is found, replace the EGR valve assembly.

B. Inspect EGR valve operation(a) Remove the three bolts and stepping motor from thehousing.
(b) Apply battery voltage to terminal B1 (or B2), and while repeately grounding (*S4)±(S4 and *S3)±(S3 and
*S2)±(S2 and *S1)±(S1 and *S4) in sequence, check
that the valve moves toward the open position.
HINT: Keep the terminal marked with an asterisk (*) grounded
while proceeding to the next grounding.
(c) Apply battery voltage to terminal B1 (or B2), and while repeately grounding (*S1)±(S1 and *S2)±(S2 and
*S3)±(S3 and *S4)±(S4 and *S1) in sequence, check
that the valve moves toward the closed position.
HINT:
w Keep the terminal marked with an asterisk (*) grounded
while proceeding to the next grounding.
w Perform this operation after opening the valve by
performing step (b) above.
If operation is not as specified, replace the EGR valve assem-
bly.
(d) Reinstall the stepping motor to the housing with the three bolts.
7. REINSTALL EGR VALVE (a) Place a new gasket on the EGR valve adaptor.
NOTICE:
w Do not touch the adaptor and EGR valve surfaces of the
gasket with your hand.
w Align the port holes of the gasket and adaptor. Be careful
of the installation direction.

THREE±WAY CATALYST (TWC) SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
To reduce HC, CO and NOx emissions, they are oxidized, reduced and convert\
ed to nitrogen (N), carbon diox-
ide (CO) and water (HO) by the catalyst.
OPERATION
