INSPECTION
1. INSPECT AND CLEAN FILTER IN EGR VACUUM 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 stmospheric
side (outward).
2. INSTALL VACUUM GAUGE
Using 3 - way connector, connect a vacuum gauge to the EGR
valve vacuum hose as shown in the illustration.
3. INSPECT SEATING OF EGR VALVE
Start the engine and check that the engine starts and runs at
idle.
4. INSPECT OPERATION VSV WITH COLD ENGINE
(a) The engine coolant temperature shold be below 45°C
(113°F).
(b) Check that the vacuum gauge indicates zero at 2,500
rpm.
5. INSPECT OPERATION OF VSV AND EGR VACUUM
MODULATOR WITH HOT ENGINE
(a) Warm up the engine to above 60°C (140°F).
(b) Check that the vacuum gauge indicates low vacuum at
2,500 rpm.
(c) Check that the vacuum gauge indicates zero at idle.
(d) Disconnect the vacuum hose from port R of the EGR vac-
uum modulator and connect port R directley to the intake
manifold with another hose.
(e) Check that the vacuum gauge indicates high vacuum at
2,500 rpm.
HINT:
As a large amount of exhaust gas enters, the will misfire slghtly.
6. REMOVE VACUUM GAUGE
Remove the vacuum gauge and reconnect the vacuum hoses
to the proper locations.

ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. CHECK COOLING FAN OPERATION WITH LOW TEM-
PERATURE (Below 83°C (181°F))
(a) Turn the ignition switch ON.
(b) Check that the cooling fan stops.
If not, check the cooling fan relay and ECT switch, and check
for a separated connector or severed wire between the cooling
fan relay and ECT switch.
(c) Disconnect the ECT switch connector.
(d) Check that the cooling fan rotates.
If not, check the engine main relay, cooling fan relay, cooling
fan, fuses, and check for short circuit between the cooling fan
relay and ECT switch.
(e) Reconnect the ECT switch connector.
2. CHECK COOLING FAN OPERATION WITH HIGH TEM-
PERATURE (Above 94°C (201°F))
(a) Start the engine, and raise coolant temperature to above
94°C (201°F).
(b) Check that the cooling fan rotates.
If not, replace the ECT switch.
3. INSPECT NO.1 COOLING FAN
(a) Disconnect the cooling fan connector.
(b) Connect battery and ammeter.
(c) Check that the cooling fan rotates smoothly, and check
the reading on the ammeter.
Standard amperage:
M/T5.7 - 7.7 A
A/T8.6 - 11.6 A
(d) Reconnect the cooling fan connector.
4. INSPECT NO.2 COOLING FAN
(a) Disconnect the cooling fan connector.
(b) Connect battery and ammeter.
(c) Check that the cooling fan rotates smoothly, and check
the reading on the ammeter.
Standard amperage: 6.4 - 7.4 A
(d) Reconnect the cooling fan connector.

3. INSPECT ECT SWITCH
(a) Using an ohmmeter, check that there is no continuity be-
tween the terminals when the coolant temperature is
above 94°C (201°F).
If there is continuity, replace the switch.
(b) Using an ohmmeter, check that there is continuity be-
tween the terminals when the coolant temperature is be-
low 83°C (181°F).
If there is no continuity, replace the switch.
