EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR) SYSTEM

GENERAL DESCRIPTION (EGR SYSTEM)

M1173005200189

The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system lowers 
the nitrogen oxide (NOx) emission level. When the 
air/fuel mixture combustion temperature is high, a 
large quantity of NOx is generated in the combustion 
chamber. Therefore, this system recirculates part of 
exhaust gas from the exhaust port of the cylinder 
head to the combustion chamber through the intake 
manifold to decrease the air/fuel mixture combustion 
temperature, resulting in reduction of NOx. The EGR 
flow rate is controlled by the EGR valve (Stepper 
Motor) so as not to decrease the driveability.

OPERATION

When the engine coolant temperature is low, when 
the engine is at idle or when a wide open throttle 
operation is performed, the EGR valve (Stepper 
Motor) is kept closed, achieving no EGR. After warm-
ing up of the engine, the EGR valve (Stepper Motor) 
can be opened by the powertrain control module.
The powertrain control module monitors the EGR 
system and illuminates the check engine/malfunction 
indicator lamp to indicate that there is a malfunction.

Required Special Tool:

• MB991658: Test Harness Set

.

Checking the Operation Sound
1. Check that the operation sound of the stepper motor can be 

heard from the EGR valve when the ignition switch is turned 
ON (without starting the engine).

2. If the operation sound cannot be heard, inspect the drive 

circuit of the stepper motor.

NOTE: If the circuit is normal, either the stepper motor or the 
engine A/T-ECU may have failed.

Checking the Coil Resistance
1. Remove the EGR valve.
2. Measure the resistance between terminal 2 and either 

terminal 1 or terminal 3 of the connector at the EGR valve.

Standard value: 10 

 20  [at 20°C (68°F)]

3. If the resistance is not within the standards, replace the EGR 

valve.

4. Measure the resistance between terminal 5 and either 

terminal 6 or terminal 4 of the connector at the i EGR valve.

Standard value: 10 

 20  [at 20°C (68°F)]

5. If the resistance is not within the standards, replace the EGR 

valve.

.

<Operation Check>
1. Remove the EGR valve.
2. Connect special tool MB991658 to the EGR valve.

3. Connect the positive (+) terminal the battery to terminal 2. 
4. Connect terminal 1 or terminal 3 to the negative (

−) terminal 

of the battery to test the presence of vibrations that result 
from the operation of the stepper motor (by feeling it’s slight 
vibrations.

5. Connect the positive (+) terminal the battery to terminal 5. 
6. Connect terminal 4 or terminal 6 to the negative (

−) terminal 

of the battery to test the presence of vibrations that result 
from the operation of the stepper motor (by feeling it’s slight 
vibrations.

7. If vibrations can be felt as a result of the test, the stepper 

motor is determined to be normal. 

EGR VALVE (STEPPER MOTOR) CLEANING

M1173050300012

NOTE: If DO not use solvents or other cleaning agents, which 
will enter the motor and cause a malfunction.
Remove the EGR valve and make sure that it is not stuck and 
does not have any carbon deposits.If there are any carbon 
deposits, use a wire brush to clean it.
