EGR Control Solenoid: Testing and Inspection


VSV FOR EGR INSPECTION





1. Remove air intake chamber assembly.
2. Inspect VSV.





- Disconnect vacuum hoses and connector





- Inspect VSV for open circuit
- Using an ohmmeter, check that there is continuity between the terminals.

Resistance: At 20°C (68°F) 30 - 34 Ohms.

- If there is no continuity, replace the VSV.





- Inspect VSV for ground
- Using an ohmmeter, check that there is no continuity between each terminal and the body.
- If there is continuity, replace the VSV.





- Inspect VSV operation
- Check that the air flows from port G to E.





- Apply battery voltage across the terminals.
- Check that the air does not flows from port G to E.
- If operation is not as specified, replace the VSV.
- Reconnect vacuum hoses and connector
3. Reinstall air intake chamber assembly.
