EGR Control System Inspection
If simulation function of M-MDS is used:
- Crank the engine and verify that the EGR valve operation (initial operation) sound is heard.
- If the operation sound is not heard, connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2 and verify that the DTC P0403:00 is shown. Perform the DTC inspection. (See DTC P0403:00 .)
- Start the engine run it is idling.
- Increase the step value of the EGR valve from 0 to 57 using the SEGRP PID of the simulation function.
- Operate the EGR valve and inspect if the engine speed becomes unstable or the engine stalls.
- If the engine speed does not change, proceed to the following.
- Stop the engine.
- Remove the EGR valve. (See EGR VALVE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
- Connect the EGR valve connector.
- Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
- Increase the step value of EGR valve from 0 to 57 using the SEGRP PID.
- Verify that the EGR valve operates according to the SEGRP PID.
- If the EGR valve is operated, clean the EGR valve and the EGR gas passage.
- If the EGR valve does not operate, replace the EGR valve.
- Start the engine and warm it up completely.
- Access the following PIDs.
- ECT, RPM, SEGRP, APP1, APP2, TP REL, VSS
- Idle the vehicle and verify that the SEGRP value is 0 .
- Put the vehicle in drive.
- Depress the accelerator pedal and verify that the SEGRP value increases.
- If the SEGRP value does not increase, inspect the VSS, TP REL and ECT PIDs. (See PCM INSPECTION .)
- Stop the vehicle and verify that the SEGRP value is returns to 0 .
If simulation function of M-MDS is not used:
- Verify that EGR valve operation (initial operation) sound is heard when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position.
- If the operation sound is not heard, connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2 and verify that the DTC P0403:00 is shown. Perform the DTC inspection. (See DTC P0403:00 .)
- Start the engine and idle it.
- Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature.
- Select the following PIDs:
- ECT, RPM, SEGRP, APP1, APP2, TP REL, VSS
- Let the vehicle idle and verify that the SEGRP value is 0 .
- Put the vehicle in drive.
- Depress the accelerator pedal and verify that the SEGRP value is increased.
- If the EGR valve increases, inspect the following:
- EGR valve (stuck open or closed)
- Wiring harness and connectors (Main relay-EGR valve-PCM)
- If the SEGRP value does not increase, inspect the VSS, APP1, APP2, TP REL and ECT PIDs. (See PCM INSPECTION .)
- If the EGR valve increases, inspect the following:
- Stop the vehicle and verify that the SEGRP value returns to 0 .
