    • Main relay terminal C-EGR valve terminal D

    If there is a common connector:

  • Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for an open circuit.
    • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.

    If there is no common connector:

    • Repair or replace the wiring harness which has an open circuit.

Go to Step 11.
5 INSPECT EGR VALVE CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO GROUND
  • Verify that the EGR valve connector is disconnected.
  • Switch the ignition off.
  • Inspect for continuity between the following terminals (wiring harness-side) and body ground:
    • EGR valve terminal A
    • EGR valve terminal E
    • EGR valve terminal B
      • EGR valve terminal F
  • Is there continuity?
Yes Disconnect the PCM connector and inspect the wiring harness for short to ground.
  • If the short to ground circuit could be detected in the wiring harness:
    • Refer to the wiring diagram and verify whether or not there is a common connector between the following terminals:
  • EGR valve terminal A-PCM terminal 1J
  • EGR valve terminal E-PCM terminal 1Y
  • EGR valve terminal B-PCM terminal 1O
    • EGR valve terminal F-PCM terminal 1T

    If there is a common connector:

  • Determine the malfunctioning part by inspecting the common connector and the terminal for corrosion, damage, or pin disconnection, and the common wiring harness for a short to ground.
    • Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.

      If there is no common connector:

    • Repair or replace the wiring harness which has a short to ground.
    • If the short to ground circuit could not be detected in the wiring harness:

Go to Step 11.
No Go to the next step.
6 INSPECT PCM CONNECTOR CONDITION
  • Disconnect the PCM connector.
  • Inspect for poor connection (such as damaged/pulled-out pins, corrosion).
  • Is there any malfunction?

No Go to the next step.
7 INSPECT EGR VALVE CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO POWER SUPPLY
  • Verify that the EGR valve and PCM connectors are disconnected.
