CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The engine control module (ECM) monitors the EGR
valve pintle position input to ensure that the valve
responds properly to commands from the PCM, and to
detect a fault if pintle position is differen
t
fromcommanded position.
DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
Check for the following conditions:
Excessive carbon deposit on EGR valve shaf
t
maycause EGR stuck open or unsmooth operation.
Those carbon deposit may occur by unusual
portoperation. Clean up carbon may make
smoothfunction of EGR valve.
Poor connection or damaged harness Inspec
t
thewiring harness for damage. If the harness
appears to be OK, observe the EGR actual position
display on the Tech 2 while moving connectors and
wiring harnesses related to EGR valve. A change in
the display will indicate the location of the fault.
