EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR) Operation Cold Engine (Coolant temperature less than 55°C (1 31 OF)) EGR operation is stopped to improve driveability when the engine temperature is cold. u Warm Engine The powertrain control module (engine) controls the solenoid valves (vacuum side and vent side) to sup- ply EGR gases as described below. Remark Operating condition Idle Deceleration High speed Heavy load EGR SOLENOID VALVE (VACUUM) I I EGR operation Acceleration Warming up Other SYSTEM OPERATION 1. Connect the SSTs to the PCME as shown. 2. Start the engine. 3. Drive the vehicle and verify that PCME terminals 1 R and 1 T voltage is battery positive voltage (B+) while the en- gine is still cold. 4. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature and let it idle. 5. Drive the vehicle and verify that the Engine Signal Moni- tor green and red lamps flash when the SST is set to 1 R and 1 T. 6. Ground the PCME terminal IT by using a jumper wire. 7. Verify that the engine runs roughly or stalls at idle. Stopped EGR SOLENOID VALVE (VACUUM) Inspection 1. Disconnect the vacuum hoses. 2. Blow into the EGR solenoid valve (vacuum) and verify that air does not flow. 3. Disconnect the EGR solenoid valve (vacuum) connec- tor. 4. Apply battery positive voltage and a ground to the sole- noid valve as shown. 5. Blow through the EGR solenoid valve (vacuum) and verify that air flows. 6. If not as specified, replace the EGR solenoid valve (vac- uum) assembly. Idle switch: ON Above 3,125 rpm - Reduced EGR gas amount Control supply of EGR gas amount by using signal from EGR function sensor - Coolant temperature: Between 55OC (1 31 OF) and 60°C {140°F) - Gartner Banana

Verify that the A/C stops for approx. 2 sec. after the en- gine start. 5. Rotate the throttle link to fully open position. 6. Verify that the A/C stops for approx. 5 sec. after the throttle link to fully open position. 7. If not specified, inspect as following. PCME 1Q terminal voltage A/C relay Throttle position sensor AIC RELAY Inspection 1. Remove the A/C relay. 2. Check the continuity between the terminals of the relay. 3.

MECHANICAL SYSTEM TEST TIME LAG TEST If the selector lever is shifted while the engine is idling, there will be a certain time lapse, or time lag, before shock is felt. This step checks this time lag for checking condition of the 1-2, N-R/2-3 and N-D L/ accumulators, front, rear and one-way clutches, 2nd brake band, and low and reverse brake. Preparation Perform the preparation procedure shown in the STALL TEST. (Refer to page K-22.) Procedure IDLE SPEED 1. Start the engine and check the idle speed in P range. (Refer to section F.) u Idle speed: 750--850 rpm 2. Shift from N range to D range. 3. Use a stopwatch to measure the time it takes from shifting until shock is felt. 4. Shift the selector to N and let the engine idle for 1 minute or more to cool the ATF. 5. Do the time lag test for the following shifts in the same manner. Make three measurements for each test and average the results. (1) N 4 D range (Normal mode) (2) N -+ D range (Hold mode) (3) N -+ R range ..........................................
