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