INSPECTION
1. INSPECT AND CLEAN FILTER IN EGR V ACUUM MOD-
ULATOR
(a) Remove the cap and filter.
(b) Check the filter for contamination or damage.
(c) Using compressed air, clean the filter.
(d) Reinstall the filter and cap.
HINT:
Install the filter with the coarser surface facing the atmospheric
side (outward).
2. INSTALL VACUUM GAUGE
Using a 3 −way connector, connect a vacuum gauge to the hose
between the EGR valve and EGR vacuum modulator.
3. INSPECT SEATING OF EGR VALVE
Start the engine and check that the engine starts and runs at
idle.
4. CONNECT TOYOTA HAND− HELD TESTER OR OBD II
SCAN TOOL (See page EM−10)
5. INSPECT VSV OPERATION WITH COLD ENGINE
(a) The engine coolant temperature should be below 47 °C
(117 °F).
(b) Check that the vacuum gauge indicates zero at 2,500 rpm.
(c) Check that the EGR pipe is not hot.
6. INSPECT OPERATION OF VSV AND EGR VACUUM
MODULATOR WITH HOT ENGINE
(a) Warm up the engine to above 53° C (127°F).
(b) Check that the vacuum gauge indicates low vacuum at 2,500 rpm.
(c) Disconnect the vacuum hose port R of the EGR vacuum modulator and connect port R directly to the air intake
chamber with another hose.
(d) Check that the vacuum gauge indicates high vacuum at 2,500 rpm.

EMISSION CONTROL EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR) SYSTEM
1996 LAND CRUISER (RM451U)
HINT:
As a large amount of exhaust gas enters, the engine will misfire
slightly.
7. DISCONNECT TOYOTA HAND −HELD TESTER OR
OBD II SCAN TOOL
8. REMOVE VACUUM GAUGE
Remove the vacuum gauge, and reconnect the vacuum hoses
to the proper locations.
9. INSPECT EGR VALVE
(a) Apply vacuum directly to the EGR valve with the engine idle.
(b) Check that the engine runs rough or dies.
(c) Reconnect the vacuum hoses to the proper locations.
If no problem is found with this inspection, system is normal;
otherwise inspect each part.
10. CANCEL DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE
11. REMOVE AIR INTAKE CHAMBER (See page EM−28)
12. DISCONNECT VACUUM HOSES AND CONNECTOR
13. INSPECT VSV FOR OPEN CIRCUIT
Using an ohmmeter, check that there is continuity between the
terminals. Resistance: 30 − 34 Ω at 20° C (68°F)
If there is no continuity, replace the VSV.
14. INSPECT VSV FOR GROUND
Using an ohmmeter, check that there is no continuity between
each terminal and the body.
If there is continuity, replace the VSV.

15. INSPECT VSV OPERATION
(a) Check that the air flows from pipe G to pipe E.
(b) Apply battery voltage across the terminals.
(c) Check that the air does not flows from pipe G to pipe E.
If operation is not as specified, replace the VSV.
16. RECONNECT VACUUM HOSES AND CONNECTOR
17. REINSTALL AIR INTAKE CHAMBER (See page
EM−54 )
18. DISCONNECT V ACUUM HOSES FROM EGR V ACUUM
MODULATOR
(a) Disconnect the vacuum hose from R port.
(b) Disconnect the vacuum hose from Q port.
(c) Disconnect the vacuum hose from P port.
19. INSPECT EGR VACUUM MODULATOR OPERATION
(a) Block ports P and R with your finger.
(b) Blow air into port Q, and check that the air passes through
to the air filter side freely.
(c) Start the engine, and maintain speed at 2,500 rpm.
(d) Repeat the above test. Check that there is a strong resis-
tance to air flow.
If operation is not as specified, replace the EGR vacuum modu-
lator.
20. RECONNECT VACUUM HOSES TO EGR VACUUM
MODULATOR
(a) Connect the vacuum hose to R port.
(b) Connect the vacuum hose to Q port.
(c) Connect the vacuum hose to P port.
