Egr Valve Inspection

Inspect the electric EGR control valve.

HINT:

Install a cap to block the other port.

1. When a vacuum of 27 kPa (200 mmHg, 7.88 in.Hg) is applied to the diaphragm chamber, check that the shaft rises and that air flows out.
   

2. While maintaining the above conditions, check that there are no leaks and that the shaft stays in position.
   

3. Check that the valve does not have heavy carbon deposits and is not stuck.
   If the result is not as specified, replace the electric EGR control valve assembly.
   

Inspect the EGR valve position sensor.

1. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
   

   Standard Resistance:

   Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
   1 (VC) - 2 (E2)	20°C (68°F)	4.0 to 6.0 kΩ

   If the result is not as specified, replace the electric EGR control valve assembly.
   

Create a vacuum in the diaphragm chamber.

HINT:

Install a cap to block the other port.

Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
3 (EGLS) - 2 (E2)	20°C (68°F) EGR valve is fully opened	4.1 kΩ
	20°C (68°F) EGR valve is fully closed	0.8 kΩ

HINT:

The resistance increases in proportion to the opening amount of the EGR valve.
