Result
Result	Proceed to
Hoses or pipes are damaged or disconnected	A
No hoses or pipes are damaged or disconnected	B

HINT:

Be sure to check if the hoses and pipes between the air cleaner and compressor are disconnected as disconnection of a hose or pipe can cause overboost. Also, check the high pressure hoses for disconnection due to overboost.

Check for disconnection of the exhaust pipes.

Using your hand, check whether the pipes and hoses in the intake system are securely connected.

Check for any modifications in the intake system made by the user.

Go to step 4

NEXT

4.PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING GTS (OPERATE TURBOCHARGER SUB-ASSEMBLY)

Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

Turn the engine switch on (IG).

Turn the GTS on.

Enter the following menus: Engine and ECT / Active Test / Test the Turbo Charger Step Motor (Test the Turbo Charger Step Motor #2) / Data List / Target VN Turbo Position (Target VN Turbo Position #2) and Actual VN Turbo Position (Actual VN Turbo Position #2).

While changing the Active Test value to 20, 95, 60 and 20%, check that Actual VN Turbo Position (Actual VN Turbo Position #2) smoothly changes to the set opening amount.

NOTICE:

When moving the vanes toward the fully closed position, make sure that Actual VN Turbo Position (Actual VN Turbo Position #2) does not become 5% or less.

OK:
The Actual VN Turbo Position (Actual VN Turbo Position #2) value follows the Target VN Turbo Position (Target VN Turbo Position #2).

Go to step 14

OK

5.PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING GTS (ACTIVATE THE EGR VALVE CLOSE)

Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

Start the engine and warm it up, and make sure the A/C switch and all accessory switches are off.

Turn the engine switch off. Wait for 30 seconds, and then restart the engine.

Turn the GTS on.

Enter the following menus: Engine and ECT / Data List / MAF.

Read the MAF value displayed on the GTS while the engine is idling.

Enter the following menus: Engine and ECT / Active Test / Activate the EGR Valve Close.

Read the MAF value when the EGR valve is closed using the Active Test function.

HINT:

If idling continues for 20 minutes or more, the EGR valve target opening lift amount becomes 0% (EGR valve fully closed). As this makes diagnosis impossible, it becomes necessary to drive the vehicle or to restart the engine.

Before performing the diagnosis, confirm that the EGR valve target opening lift amount is not 0%.

When "Coolant Temp" is 75°C (167°F) or higher during idling, the exhaust gas flows through the EGR cooler. If MAF does not change when the EGR is cut even though the EGR valve is operating normally, the EGR cooler may be clogged.

Result
Active Test	Result	Proceed to
Activate the EGR Valve Close: Off (Open) to On (Closed)	MAF value does not change	A
Activate the EGR Valve Close: Off (Open) to On (Closed)	MAF value changes	B

NOTICE:

As the measured values may differ from those shown below due to factors such as differences in measuring environments and changes in vehicle condition due to aging, do not use these values to determine whether the vehicle is malfunctioning or not.

HINT:

The problem may be a temporary one, due to the entry of deposits or foreign matter. Check that there are no deposits or foreign matter in the EGR valve assembly or mass air flow meter.

Reference:

EGR Valve Condition (Opening)	Measuring Condition	MAF (Reference)
Open (40%)	Atmosphere pressure: 101 kPa Intake air temperature: 30°C (86°F) Engine coolant temperature: 88°C (190°F)	3 to 10 gm/sec
Closed (0%)		14 to 23 gm/sec

Go to step 9

A

6.READ VALUE USING GTS (TARGET EGR POS AND ACTUAL EGR VALVE POS)

Check the change in the values of "Target EGR Valve Pos (Target EGR Valve Pos #2)" and "Actual EGR Valve Pos (Actual EGR Valve Pos #2)" in the Data List from the time when the "Control the EGR Step Position (Control the EGR Step Position #2)" or "Activate the EGR valve Close" Active Test was performed in the previous step.

Result
Result	Proceed to
Even though "Target EGR Valve Pos (Target EGR Valve Pos #2)" indicated that the system was commanding the valve to open, "Actual EGR Valve Pos (Actual EGR Valve Pos #2)" remained near 0% and did not change	A
Other than above ("Actual EGR Valve Pos (Actual EGR Valve Pos #2)" changed according to the EGR valve open/close commands of the Active Test)	B

Go to step 8

A

7.REMOVE DEPOSIT (EGR VALVE ASSEMBLY)

Remove the No. 1 and No. 2 EGR valve assembly ().

Visually check the No. 1 and No. 2 EGR valve assembly for deposits. If there are deposits, clean the No. 1 and No. 2 EGR valve assembly.

NOTICE:

When cleaning the EGR valve assembly, make sure the valve is completely closed.

When cleaning the EGR valve assembly, perform initialization procedure ().

Do not forcibly open the valve, as it may be damaged or deformed.

When cleaning the EGR valve assembly, use a piece of cloth soaked with cleaning solvent. Spraying the solvent directly onto these parts or soaking the parts in the solvent may damage the parts.

HINT:

If the EGR valve is stuck closed, the intake air amount increases and engine vibration may worsen.

If the EGR valve does not close properly or is stuck open, EGR becomes excessive and combustion becomes unstable. Also, there may be a lack of power.

Reinstall the EGR valve assembly ().

Go to step 13
