Circuit Description

VCM tests exhaust gas recirculation valve by momentarily commanding valve on while monitoring manifold absolute pressure. If expected manifold absolute pressure increase is not seen under certain operating conditions (decel) for a calibrated number of tests, VCM will turn on Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) and store DTC P0401.
