This system controls flow rate of EGR led from exhaust manifold
to intake manifold. The opening of the EGR by-pass passage in the
EGR volume control valve changes to control the flow rate. A
built-in step motor moves the valve in steps corresponding to the
ECM output pulses. The opening of the valve varies for optimum
engine control. The optimum value stored in the ECM is determined
by considering various engine conditions. The EGR volume control
valve remains close under the following conditions.
+Extremely light load engine operation
+Mass air flow sensor malfunction
+Engine idling
+Low engine coolant temperature
+Excessively high engine coolant temperature
+High-speed engine operation
+Wide open throttle
+Low battery voltage
+Engine starting

COMPONENT DESCRIPTIONNLEC1633S02EGR Volume Control ValveNLEC1633S0201The EGR volume control valve uses a step motor to control the flow
rate of EGR from exhaust manifold. This motor has four winding
phases. It operates according to the output pulse signal of the
ECM. Two windings are turned ON and OFF in sequence. Each
time an ON pulse is issued, the valve opens or closes, changing
the flow rate. When no change in the flow rate is needed, the ECM
does not issue the pulse signal. A certain voltage signal is issued
so that the valve remains at that particular opening.

On Board Diagnosis LogicNLEC1636If EGR temperature sensor detects EGR flow under the condition
that does not call for EGR, a high-flow malfunction is diagnosed.
NOTE:
Diagnosis for this DTC will occur when engine coolant temperature
is below 50 to 60ÉC (122 to 140ÉF). Therefore, it will be better to
turn ignition switch ªONº (start engine) at the engine coolant tem-
perature below 30ÉC (86ÉF) when starting DTC confirmation pro-
cedure.

DTC Confirmation ProcedureNLEC1637NOTE:
If ªDTC Confirmation Procedureº has been previously conducted,
always turn ignition switch ªOFFº and wait at least 10 seconds
before conducting the next test.
TESTING CONDITION:
+Always perform at a temperature above þ10ÉC (14ÉF).
+Engine coolant temperature and EGR temperature must
be verified in ªDATA MONITORº mode with CONSULT-II
before starting DTC WORK SUPPORT test. If it is out of
range below, the test cannot be conducted.
COOLAN TEMP/S: þ10 to 50ÉC (14 to 122ÉF)*
EGR TEMP SEN: Less than 4.8V
If the values are out of the ranges indicated above, park
the vehicle in a cool place and allow the engine tempera-
ture to stabilize. Do not attempt to reduce the engine cool-
ant or EGR temperature with a fan or means other than
ambient air. Doing so may produce an inaccurate diagnos-
tic result.
*: Although CONSULT-II screen displays ªþ10 to 40ÉC (14 to
104ÉF)º as a range of engine coolant temperature, ignore it.
With CONSULT-II
1) Turn ignition switch ªOFFº and wait at least 10 seconds, then
turn ignition switch ªONº.
2) Select ªEGR SYSTEM P1402º of ªEGR SYSTEMº in ªDTC
WORK SUPPORTº mode with CONSULT-II.
3) Touch ªSTARTº. Follow instruction of CONSULT-II.
4) Start engine and let it idle until ªTESTINGº on CONSULT-II
screen is turned to ªCOMPLETEDº. (It will take 60 seconds or
more.)
If ªTESTINGº is not displayed after 5 minutes, turn ignition
ªOFFº and cool the engine coolant temperature to the
range of þ10 to 50ÉC (14 to 122ÉF). Retry from step 1.
5) Make sure that ªOKº is displayed after touching ªSELF-DIAG
RESULTSº. If ªNGº is displayed, refer to ªDiagnostic
Procedureº, EC-926.

With GST
1) Turn ignition switch ªONº and select ªMODE 1º with GST.
2) Check that engine coolant temperature is within the range of
þ10 to 50ÉC (14 to 122ÉF).
3) Check that voltage between ECM terminal 72 (EGR tempera-
ture sensor signal) and ground is less than 4.8V.
4) Start engine and let it idle for at least 60 seconds.
5) Stop engine.
6) Perform from step 1 to 4.
7) Select ªMODE 3º with GST.
8) If DTC is detected, go to ªDiagnostic Procedureº, EC-926.
+When using GST, ªDTC Confirmation Procedureº should
be performed twice as much as when using CONSULT-II
because GST cannot display MODE 7 (1st trip DTC) con-
cerning this diagnosis. Therefore, using CONSULT-II is
recommended.
