MPV LX V6-2.5L DOHC (2000)
EGR Control Module: Testing and Inspection
1. Verify that EGR valve operation (initial operation) sound is heard when the ignition key is turned to ON.
-
If the operation sound is not heard, connect the SSTs (NGS tester) to DLC-2 and verify that the DTC P0401, P0402, P1496, P1497, P1498 or
P1499 is shown. Carry out troubleshooting of DTC P0401, P0402, P1496, P1497, P1498 or P1499.
2. Start the engine and run if at idle.
3. Select the SIMULATION TEST function on the NGS display.
4. Select IDLE TEST.
5. Select SEGRP and press START
6. Increase the simulation value from 0 to 40.
7. Operate the EGR valve and inspect if the engine speed becomes unstable or stalls.
-
If the engine speed will not change, proceed to following.
1. Stop the engine.
2. Remove the EGR valve.
3. Connect the EGR valve connector.
4. Turn the ignition key to ON (Engine OFF).
5. Select the SIMULATION TEST function on the NGS display.
6. Increase the step value of EGR valve from 0 to 40 using SEGRP PID.
7. Inspect the EGR operation.
-
If the EGR valve is operated, clean the EGR valve and reinspect from Step 2.
-
If the EGR valve will not operate, replace the EGR valve and reinspect from Step 2.
8. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature.
9. Select the PID/DATA MONITOR AND RECORD function on the NGS display.
10. Select the following PIDs.
-
ECTV
-
RPM
-
SEGRP
-
TPV
-
VS
11. Let the vehicle idle and verify that the SEGRP value is 0.
12. Drive the vehicle.
13. Accelerate the vehicle and verify that the SEGRP value increases.
-
If the SEGRP value will not increase, inspect the VS, TP V and ECT V PIDs. (See PCM Inspection Using the SST (NGS Tester).)
14. Stop the vehicle and verify that the SEGRP is 0.
