| 1.CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ELECTRIC EGR VALVE ASSEMBLY - ECM) |
![]() |
Disconnect the electric EGR valve assembly connector.
Disconnect the ECM connector.
Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
| Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
| B50-5 (VC) - B9-26 (VCEG) | Always | Below 1 Ω |
| B50-4 (VTA) - B9-27 (EGLS) | Always | Below 1 Ω |
| B50-3 (E2) - B9-25 (EEGL) | Always | Below 1 Ω |
| Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
| B50-5 (VC) or B9-26 (VCEG) - Body ground | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
| B50-4 (VTA) or B9-27 (EGLS) - Body ground | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
| B50-3 (E2) or B9-25 (EEGL) - Body ground | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
