EGR Control Solenoid: Testing and Inspection
EGR Solenoid Check
1. Disconnect the vacuum hose from the EGR solenoid.
NOTE: When disconnecting the vacuum hose, always make sure that it can be reconnected at its original position.
2. Disconnect the harness connector.
3. Connect a hand vacuum pump to nipple (A) of the EGR solenoid. (Refer to the illustration at left.)
4. Check airtightness by applying a vacuum with voltage applied directly from the battery to the EGR solenoid and without applying voltage.
5. Measure the resistance between the terminals of the EGR solenoid.
Standard value: 29 - 35 ohms [at 20°C (68°F)]
6. Replace the solenoid if resistance is out of specification.
