EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION
(EGR) SYSTEM
GENERAL INFORMATION (EGR SYSTEM)M1173005200327
The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system lowers
the nitrogen oxide (NOx) emission level.
When the air/fuel mixture combustion temperature is
high, a large quantity of nitrogen oxides (NOx) is
generated in the combustion chamber.
Therefore, this system recirculates part of emission
gas from the exhaust port of the cylinder head to the
combustion chamber through the intake manifold to
decrease the air/fuel mixture combustion
temperature, resulting in reduction of NOx.The EGR flow rate is controlled by the EGR valve so
as not to decrease the driveability.
OPERATION
The EGR valve is being closed and does not
recirculate exhaust gases under one of the following
conditions.
Otherwise, the EGR valve is opened and recirculates
exhaust gases.
•The engine coolant temperature is low.
•The engine is at idle.
•The throttle valve is widely opened.

EGR SYSTEM CHECKM1173002600348
1. Disconnect the vacuum hose (Green stripe) from
the EGR valve, and then connect a hand vacuum
pump via the three-way terminal.
2. When the engine is hot or cold, check the
condition of vacuum by racing the engine.
When engine is cold
(Engine coolant temperature: 20°C or less)
When engine is hot
(Engine coolant temperature: 80°C or higher)
3. Disconnect the three-way terminal.4. Connect the hand vacuum pump to the EGR
valve nipple.
5. Check whether the engine stalls or the idling is
unstable when a vacuum of 30 kPa or higher is
applied during idling.
EGR VALVE CHECKM1173002800223
1. Remove the EGR valve and inspect for sticking,
carbon deposits, etc. If found, clean with a
suitable solvent so that the valve seats correctly.
2. Connect a hand vacuum pump to the EGR valve.
3. Apply 67 kPa of vacuum, and check that the
vacuum is maintained.
4. Apply a vacuum and check the passage of air by
blowing through one side of the EGR passage. Throttle valve Normal vacuum condition
Open quickly No vacuum will generate (the
same as barometric pressure.)
Throttle valve Normal vacuum condition
Open quickly It will momentarily rise over 13
kPa

INSPECTION PROCEDURE 5: Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge does not Work (the other meters
work).
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION (COMMENT)
If only the engine coolant temperature gauge does
not operate, the combination meter, the wiring
harness or its connector may be defective.
TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS
•Malfunction of the engine coolant temperature
gauge unit
•The wiring harness or connectors may have
loose, corroded, or damaged terminals, or
terminals pushed back in the connector.
•Malfunction of the combination meter.
DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE
STEP 1. Check the engine coolant temperature
gauge unit.
Check to see that the engine coolant temperature
gauge unit operate normally. Refer to P.54A-61.
Q: Is the engine coolant temperature gauge unit
normal?
YES :
Go to Step 2.
NO : Replace the fuel gauge unit. Then go to step
4.
