EGR Control Solenoid Valve (California)
- Label and disconnect vacuum hoses and wiring harness from solenoid valve. For solenoid valve location, see EGR CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE LOCATION table.
- Connect hand vacuum pump to vacuum nipple where Green-striped vacuum hose was connected. Ensure vacuum does not hold. Apply battery voltage to one terminal of solenoid and ground the other. Ensure vacuum holds.
- Using an ohmmeter, measure resistance between the terminals of solenoid valve. At room temperature, a reading of 36-44 ohms should be present. Replace solenoid if not to specifications.EGR CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE LOCATION
