Diagnostic Test

  1. 1) ACTIVE DTC 

    Start the engine and allow it to reach normal operating temperature.

    WARNING: When the engine is operating, do not stand in direct line with the fan. Do not put your hands near the pulleys, belts, or fan. Do not wear loose clothing. Failure to follow these instructions can result in personal injury or death.
    NOTE: Diagnose and repair any system voltage or sensor supply voltage DTCs before continuing with this test.

    With the scan tool, select View DTCs.

    CAUTION: Do not probe the PCM harness connectors. Probing the PCM harness connectors will damage the PCM terminals, resulting in poor terminal to pin connection. Install Miller Special Tool #8815 to perform diagnosis.

    Measure the resistance of the (K34) EGR Signal circuit between the Exhaust Gas Recirculation Valve harness connector and the appropriate terminal of special tool #8815.

    Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms? 

    Yes 

    1. Go to  6).

    No 

    1. Repair the excessive resistance in the (K34) EGR Signal circuit.
    2. Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
  6. 6) EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION VALVE 

    Turn the ignition off.

    Connect the C2 PCM harness connector.

    Turn the ignition on.

    With the scan tool, read the Exhaust Gas Recirculation Valve signal voltage.

    NOTE: The sensor voltage should be approximately 5.0 volts (plus or minus .1 volt) with the connector disconnected.

    Does the scan tool display the voltage as described above? 

    Yes 

    1. Verify that there is good pin to terminal contact in the Solenoid and the Powertrain Control Module connectors. Replace the EGR Valve Assembly in accordance with the Service Information if no problems were found with the connectors.
    2. Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .

    No 

    1. Go to  9).
  7. 7) (F856) 5-VOLT SUPPLY CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND

    Turn the ignition off.

    Disconnect the C1 PCM harness connector.

    Measure the resistance between ground and the (F856) 5-volt Supply circuit in the EGR Solenoid harness connector.

    Is the resistance below 100 ohms? 

    Yes 

    1. Repair the short to ground in the (F856) 5-volt Supply circuit.
    2. Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .

    No 

    1. Go to  8).
