DTC 35: EGR Temperature Sensor

  1. Check Input Signal

    Start engine and warm to operating temperature. Measure voltage between ECM terminal No. 39 and ground. See Figure and Fig 2 . Voltage should be less than 4.5 volts. If voltage is correct, go to next step. If voltage is not correct, go to step 3).
  2. Check Circuit Continuity

    Turn ignition off. Disconnect ECM and EGR temperature sensor wiring harness connector. See Figure and Fig 1 . Check continuity between ECM connector terminal No. 39 and EGR temperature sensor connector terminal "a" (Orange/Black wire). See Figure and Fig 3 .If continuity is present, go to next step. If continuity is not present, repair harness or connectors as necessary.
  3. Check Component

    Inspect EGR temperature sensor. See SYSTEM/COMPONENT TESTS article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE section. Replace EGR temperature sensor if necessary, and perform FINAL CHECK in this article. If EGR temperature sensor is okay, repair ECM pin terminals and/or wiring harness connector.
  4. Check Ground Circuit

    Turn ignition off. Disconnect ECM and EGR temperature sensor wiring harness connector. See Figure and Fig 1 . Check continuity between ECM connector terminal No. 30 and EGR temperature sensor connector terminal "b" (Black wire). See Figure and Fig 4 .If continuity is present, repair ECM pin terminals and/or wiring harness connector, and perform FINAL CHECK in this article. If continuity is not present, repair harness or connectors as necessary.
