YES

>> GO TO 7.

NO

>> Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.

7.

CHECK EGR VOLUME CONTROL VALVE VISUALLY

1.

Remove the EGR volume control valve

2.

Check if foreign matter is caught between the EGR volume control valve and the housing.

Is the inspection result normal?

YES 

>> GO TO 8.

NO

>> Remove the foreign matter and clean the EGR volume control valve.

Description

INFOID:0000000001162631

The vehicle speed signal is sent to the combination meter from the “ABS actuator and electric unit (control
unit)” by CAN communication line. The combination meter then sends a signal to the ECM by CAN communi-
cation line.
