EGR Control Solenoid: Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview
EGR Solenoid Inspection
EGR Control Solenoid Valve Location
1. Disconnect the vacuum hoses (yellow stripe, green stripe and white stripe) from the solenoid valve.
2. Disconnect the harness connector from the solenoid.
3. Connect a hand vacuum pump to the nipple to which the white striped vacuum hose was connected.
4. Apply a vacuum and observe vacuum gauge while applying battery voltage across the solenoid terminals with jumper wires.
^ Battery voltage not applied and nipple B open, vacuum is maintained.
^ Battery voltage applied and nipple B open, vacuum leaks.
^ Battery voltage applied and nipple B closed, vacuum is maintained.
5. Measure the resistance between the solenoid terminals. The acceptable resistance range is 36-44 ohms @ 20° C (68° F).
6. If the solenoid failed any test, replace solenoid.
