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.

(h) Inspect the gear backlash.
(1) Install the camshafts without installing the exhaustcam sub−gear (See page EM−54).
(2) Using a dial indicator, measure the backlash.
Standard backlash:
0.020 − 0.200 mm (0.0008 − 0.0079 in.)
Maximum backlash: 0.30 mm (0.0188 in.)
If the backlash is greater than maximum, replace the cam-
shafts.
