Skylark V6-3100 3.1L VIN M SFI (1996)
EGR Valve Position Sensor: Description and Operation
The EGR pintle position sensor is an integral part of the EGR valve assembly. This sensor can not be serviced seperately from the EGR valve
assembly.
The PCM monitors the EGR valve pintle position input to ensure that the valve responds properly to commands from the PCM and to detect a
fault if the pintle position sensor and control circuits are open or shorted. If the PCM detects a pintle position signal voltage outside the normal
range of the pintle position sensor, or a signal voltage that is not within a tolerance considered acceptable for proper EGR system operation, the
PCM will set DTC P1406.
