(4) If pin #13 shows continuity, repair circuit C02
and retest. (5) If no continuity is shown, replace the ATC con-
trol and retest.
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE 7ÐBLOWER DRIVE SIGNAL NOT HIGH
First check the 4-way connector to the power
module for correct installation (1) With the ignition ON, check for ignition volt-
age to the power module pin #1 from the ATC con-
trol. If ignition is present at the power module,
proceed to step 3. If not proceed to step 2. (2) With the 21-way connector still connected and
the ignition ON, check for power module ignition
feed at the control pin #12. If ignition is not present,
replace the control. If ignition voltage is present, re-
pair the open in the wire between the control pin
#12 and power module pin #1. Retest system. (3) Turn ignition OFF and disconnect the 21-way
connector. Measure the resistance between pins #2
and #12. The resistance should read between 2,600
and 2,800 ohms. If correct, replace the ATC control.
If not correct, proceed to step 4. (4) Remove the 4-way connector from the power
module. Check for continuity between the ATC con-
trol pin #2 and power module pin #2. If no continu-
ity is shown, repair the wire for an open. If
continuity is shown, replace the power module and
retest.
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE 8ÐA/D CONVERTOR INTERNAL FAILURE
Diagnostics will indicate a Diagnostic Trouble Code
8 if the internal reference voltage of the A/D Conver-
tor is not correct. This Diagnostic Trouble Code is
not serviceable. If a Diagnostic Trouble Code 8 oc-
curs, the computer control head must be replaced.
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE 9ÐSUN LOAD SENSOR FAILURE
(1) Unplug the 21-way connector from the control
and check pin #19 for continuity to chassis ground.
If continuity is present, repair the wire shorted to
ground. If no continuity is present, proceed to step 2. (2) Plug the 21-way connector back in. Remove pin
#19 from the 21 way connector and run diagnostics
again. If Diagnostic Trouble Code 9 is still present,
replace the control. If code 9 is not present, replace
the sun sensor.
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE 10ÐWATER TEMPERATURE SENSOR FAILURE
(1) Disconnect 21-way connector at control. Mea-
sure resistance between pin #17 and pin #7. This
value will change with temperature. Refer to Tem-
perature ReferenceÐDiagnostic Trouble Code 10
chart. (2) Check for continuity between pin #17 and
chassis ground. If continuity is present, repair and
retest.
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE 11ÐAMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSOR FAILURE
(1) Disconnect 21-way connector at control. With
an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between pin
#9 and pin #7. Refer to the Temperature Refer-
enceÐDiagnostic Trouble Code 11 chart.
(2) Check for continuity between pin #9 and chas-
sis ground. If continuity is present, repair and retest.

24 - 80 HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING Ä
These systems do not allow EGR at idle. The 2.2L/
2.5L EGR systems operate at all temperatures. The
3.0L, 3.3L and 3.8L EGR systems do not operate
when coolant temperature is below 4.5ÉC (40É)F at
start-up. These systems activate when coolant tem-
perature reaches 77ÉC (170ÉF).
EGR SYSTEM ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICS
The powertrain control module (PCM) performs an
on-board diagnostic check of the EGR system on all
California vehicles with EGR systems. The diagnos-
tic system uses the Electric EGR Transducer (EET)
for the system tests. The diagnostic check activates only during selected
engine/driving conditions. When the conditions are
met, the PCM energizes the transducer solenoid to
disable the EGR. The PCM checks for a change in the oxygen sensor signal. If the air-fuel mixture goes
lean, the PCM will attempt to enrichen the mixture.
The PCM registers a fault if the EGR system has
failed or degraded. After registering a fault, the PCM
turns on the malfunction indicator lamp (instrument
panel Check Engine light). The malfunction indicator
lamp indicates the need for immediate service.
If a problem is indicated by the malfunction indicator
lamp and a diagnostic trouble code for the EGR system,
check for proper operation of the EGR system. Use the
System Test, EGR Gas Flow Test and EGR Diagnosis
Chart. If the EGR system tests properly, check the sys-
tem using the DRBII scan tool. Refer to On-Board Di-
agnosis in the General Diagnosis sections of Group 14.
Also, refer to the DRBII scan tool and the appropriate
Powertrain Diagnostics Procedure manual.
EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR) SYSTEM
TEST
WARNING: APPLY PARKING BRAKE AND/OR
BLOCK WHEELS BEFORE PERFORMING EGR SYS-
TEM TEST.
A failed or malfunctioning EGR system can cause
engine spark knock, sags or hesitation, rough idle,
and/or engine stalling. To ensure proper operation of
the EGR system, all passages and moving parts must
be free of deposits that could cause plugging or stick-
ing. Ensure system hoses do not leak. Replace leak-
ing components. Inspect hose connections between the throttle body,
intake manifold, EGR solenoid and transducer, and
EGR valve. Replace hardened, cracked, or melted
hoses. Repair or replace faulty connectors.
Check the EGR control system and EGR valve with
the engine fully warmed up and running (engine cool-
ant temperature over 150ÉF). With the transmission in
neutral and the throttle closed, allow the engine to idle
for 70 seconds. Abruptly accelerate the engine to ap-
proximately 2000 rpm, but not over 3000 rpm. The EGR
valve stem should move when accelerating the engine
(the relative position of the groove on the EGR valve
stem should change). Repeat the test several times to
confirm movement. If the EGR valve stem moves, the
control system is operating normally. If the control sys-
tem is not operating normally, refer to the EGR Diag-
nosis Chart to determine the cause.
EGR GAS FLOW TEST
The following procedure should be used to determine
if exhaust gas is flowing through the EGR system.
Connect a hand vacuum pump to the EGR valve
vacuum motor. With engine running at idle speed,
slowly apply vacuum. Engine speed should begin to
drop when applied vacuum reaches 2.0 to 3.5 inches.
