EGR Control Solenoid: Testing and Inspection
NOTE: When disconnecting the vacuum hose, always make a mark so that it can be reconnected at original position.
1. Disconnect the vacuum hoses (yellow stripe, white stripe) from the solenoid valve.
2. Disconnect the harness connector.
3. Connect a hand vacuum pump to the nipple to which the white-striped vacuum hose was connected.
4. Check airtightness by applying a vacuum with voltage applied directly from the battery to the EGR control solenoid valve and without applying
voltage.
