EGR Control Solenoid: Description and Operation
Computer Command Control - Port Fuel Injection

The EGR vacuum control has a vacuum control solenoid that uses "Pulse Width Modulation" (PWM).  This means that the ECM turns the solenoid
"OFF" and "ON" many times a second and varies the amount of "ON" time (pulse width) to vary the amount of EGR. The ECM may use inputs from the
following sensors to regulate the solenoid.  

^

Coolant Temperature Sensor (CTS)

^

Throttle Position Sensor (TPS)

^

Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor
