TEST ACTION APPLICABILITY
2 Start and idle the engine.
With the DRBIIItin Sensors, read the MAF mg/strk and compare it to the MAF
SPEC mg/strk with the engine at idle.
NOTE: The MAF Sensor reading should be within 5% of the MAF Spec
reading.
Is the MAF Sensor reading within 5% of the MAF Spec?All

No!Go To 7
3 Place the transmission in Park or Neutral for this test.
Start the engine and increase engine the engine speed to 3000 RPM.
With the DRBIIItin Sensors, read the MAF mg/strk and compare it to the MAF
SPEC mg/strk with the engine speed at 3000 RPM.
NOTE: The MAF Sensor reading should be within 5% of the MAF Spec
reading.
Is the MAF Sensor reading within 5% of the MAF Spec?All
Ye s!Go To 4
No!Go To 7
4NOTE: Inspect the complete exhaust system for restriction. Restrictions in
the exhaust system can cause improper EGR flow. Repair as necessary
Allow the engine to idle until the engine reaches operating temperature.
With the DRBIIIt, actuate the EGR Positioner with the engine idling.
NOTE: The EGR Positioner will actuate from 5% to 95%. With the engine
idling at approximately 680 RPM the MAF reading should switch a mini-
mum of 200 mg/strk between 5% and 95% of EGR actuation.
Note the MAF readings.
Does the MAF switch a minimum of 200 mg/strk between 5% and 95% of EGR
actuation?All
Ye s!Go To 5
No!Go To 6
5 Allow the engine to idle until the engine reaches operating temperature.
With the DRBIIIt, actuate the EGR Positioner with the engine speed at 1200 RPM.
NOTE: The EGR Positioner will actuate from 5% to 95%. With the engine
speed at approximately 1200 RPM the MAF reading should switch a mini-
mum of 200 mg/strk between 5% and 95% of EGR actuation.
Note the MAF readings.
Does the MAF switch a minimum of 200 mg/strk between 5% and 95% of EGR
actuation?All

10WARNING: WHEN THE ENGINE IS OPERATING, DO NOT STAND IN A
DIRECT LINE WITH THE FAN. DO NOT PUT YOUR HANDS NEAR THE
PULLEYS, BELTS OR FAN. DO NOT WEAR LOOSE CLOTHING.
NOTE: The conditions that set the DTC are not present at this time. The
following list may help in identifying the intermittent condition.
With the engine running at normal operating temperature, monitor the DRB
parameters related to the DTC while wiggling the wiring harness. Look for param-
eter values to change and/or a DTC to set.
Review the DTC When Monitored and Set Conditions. If possible, try to duplicate the
conditions under which the DTC was set.
Refer to any Technical Service Bulletins (TSB) that may apply.
Visually inspect the related wiring harness. Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched, or
partially broken wires.
Visually inspect the related wiring harness connectors. Look for broken, bent, pushed
out, or corroded terminals.
Were any of the above conditions present?All
Ye s!Repair as necessary.

1NOTE: If DTC P1611, P2306 or P2332 is present with this DTC, diagnose
DTCs P1611, P2306 or P2332 before diagnosing this DTC.
NOTE: Inspect all air intake and turbocharger related tubes for damage,
restriction or poor connection. Any of these conditions can cause a this DTC
to set.
