CIRCUIT OPERATION

｠

The EGR valve power is supplied from the MFI relay
(terminal No. 2).

｠

The ECM (terminals No. 31, No. 32, No. 47, No. 48)
drives  the  stepper  motor  by  sequentially  turning
"ON"  the  power  transistors  in  the  ECM  and
providing ground to the EGR valve (terminal No. 1,
No. 3, No. 4, No. 6).

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
The ECM checks whether a short circuit to the power
supply  exists  or  not  by  measuring  the  EGR  valve
(stepper motor) drive circuit voltage when the current
not flowing through the coils of the EGR valve (stepper
motor).

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS
When  the  EGR  valve  (stepper  motor)  drive  circuit
voltage is over the specified range, it is judged that a
malfunction exists.

Check Conditions

｠

Ignition switch is "ON" position.

｠

Battery positive voltage is at between 10 and 16.5
volts.

Judgement Criterion

｠

When the EGR valve is energized, the ECM voltage
should be 6.7 volts or more for 1.4 seconds..

OBD-II DRIVE CYCLE PATTERN
Refer to Diagnostic Function - OBD-II Drive Cycle -
Pattern 3 P.13Ab-8.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (The most likely
causes for this code to be set are: )

｠

EGR valve (stepper motor) failed.

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE PROCEDURES

｠

Harness damage.

｠

Connector damage.

｠

ECM failed.

 

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

｠

MB991958: Scan tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)

｠

MB991824: V.C.I.

｠

MB991827: USB Cable

｠

MB991910: Main Harness A

｠

MB991658: Test Harness Set

STEP 1. Check harness connector B-12 at EGR valve and
harness connector B-10 at ECM for damage.

Q:Is the harness connector in good condition?

YES:

 Go to Step 2.

NO:

 Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness

Connector Inspection P.00E-2. Then go to Step 5.

STEP 2. Measure the EGR valve motor coil resistance.

(1)

Disconnect the EGR valve connector B-12.

(2)

Measure  the  resistance  between  EGR  valve  connector
terminal No. 2 and either terminal No. 1 or terminal No. 3.

Standard value: 20 - 24 Ω [at 20°C (68°F)]

(3)

Measure  the  resistance  between  EGR  valve  connector
terminal No. 5 and either terminal No. 4 or terminal No. 6.

Standard value: 20 - 24 Ω [at 20°C (68°F)]

Q:Is the measured resistance between 20 and 24 ohms [at

20°C (68°F)]?

YES:

 Go to Step 3.

NO:

 Replace the EGR valve. Then go to Step 5.

STEP 3. Check for short circuit to power supply between
EGR valve connector B-12 and ECM connector B-10.

Q:Is the harness wire in good condition?

YES:

 Then go to Step 4.

NO:

 Repair it. Then go to Step 5.

STEP 4. Check the EGR valve operation using special tool
MB991658.

(1)

Remove the EGR valve.
