6VE1 3.5 ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS
D
The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Freeze Frame and in the
Failure Records data.
Diagnostic Aids
Check for the following conditions:
D
Poor connection or damaged harness – Inspect the
wiring harness for damage. If the harness appears to
be OK, observe the Actual EGR Position display on the
Tech 2 while moving connectors and wiring harnesses
related to the EGR valve. A change in the display will
indicate the location of the fault.
D
Ensure EGR valve is correctly mounted. See
On-Vehicle Service.
Reviewing the Failure Records vehicle mileage since the
diagnostic test last failed may help determine how often
the condition that caused the DTC to be set occurs. This
may assist in diagnosing the condition.
NOTE: If the EGR valve shows signs of excessive heat,
check the exhaust system for blockage (possibly a
plugged catalytic converter) using the “Restricted
Exhaust System Check”.
Test Description

Diagnostic Chart
3. A malfunctioning MAP sensor can set an EGR DTC.
The MAP sensor could send a constant signal which
is not low enough to set a low MAP DTC. The
constant signal from the MAP sensor also may not
be high enough to set a high MAP DTC. This step
verifies that the MAP sensor is responding.
