Using WDS or equivalent

  1. Connect the WDS or equivalent to the DLC-2.

  2. Start the engine.
  3. Using the "SEGRP" simulation function, operate with Steps 0  (idling) to 52  and verify that the engine speed becomes unstable or the engine stalls.
    • If the engine speed does not change, perform the following procedure:
    1. Stop the engine.
    2. Remove the EGR valve. (See EGR VALVE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION  )
    3. Connect the EGR valve connector.
    4. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
    5. Using the "SEGRP" simulation function, verify that it operates with Steps 0  (idling) to 52. 
      • If the EGR valve operates, inspect the following:
        • EGR pipe clogging
      • If the EGR valve does not operate, inspect the following:
        • PCM terminal voltage
          • EGR valve signal
        • EGR valve (If it is stuck or not moving smoothly, replace it with a new one.)
  4. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature.
  5. Place the vehicle on the chassis dynamometer.
  6. Monitor the following signals using the PID/data monitor.
    • EGR valve step number (SEGRP)
    • Engine speed (RPM)
    • Vehicle speed (VSS)
    • Throttle position (TP)
    • Engine coolant temperature (ECT)
  7. Verify that the EGR valve step number is 0  during idle.
  8. Verify that the EGR valve step number increases when the accelerator pedal is depressed to increase the vehicle speed.
    • If it does not increase, inspect the following using the PID/data monitor.
      • Vehicle speed (VSS)
      • Throttle position (TP)
      • Engine coolant temperature (ECT)
  9. Stop the vehicle and verify that the EGR valve step number is 0  during idle.
