sensor (intake manifold side or smaller diameter port). Using scan tool, access DPFEGR PID from
PID/DATA MONITOR & RECORD menu. Read the following DPFEGR PID values with ignition
switch in ON position:
z
DO NOT apply vacuum to sensor. Record DPFEGR PID value. DPFEGR PID value should be 0.2-
0.8 volts.
z
Using vacuum pump, apply 8-9 in. Hg (27-30 kPa) for a few seconds. DPFEGR PID value should
increase to more than 4 volts.
z
Quickly release vacuum. DPFEGR PID value should drop to less than 1.0 volts within 3 seconds of
releasing vacuum.
If any DPFEGR PID values are not as specified, replace DPFEGR sensor. If all DPFEGR PID values are
as specified, reconnect DPFEGR sensor and go to step 85).
80) Check Vacuum Source And Vacuum Hoses To EGR Vacuum Regulator Solenoid
Inspect vacuum hoses between EGRVR solenoid and EGR valve for leaks, restrictions, damage or
incorrect routing. Repair as necessary. If hoses are okay, disconnect vacuum hoses at EGRVR solenoid.
Connect vacuum gauge to EGRVR solenoid vacuum supply hose. Start engine and allow to idle. If
vacuum gauge measurement is 15 in. Hg (51 kPa) or more at idle, go to next step. If vacuum gauge
measurement is less than 15 in. Hg (51 kPa), isolate fault and repair as necessary.
81) Check VPWR Voltage To EGR Vacuum Regulator Solenoid
Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Disconnect EGRVR solenoid (ESM connector). Turn ignition
switch to ON position. Using a DVOM, measure voltage between negative battery terminal and VPWR
circuit at EGRVR solenoid harness connector. See Fig. 195. If voltage is more than 10.5 volts, go to next
step. If voltage is 10.5 volts or less, repair open in VPWR circuit.
82) Check EGR Vacuum Regulator Solenoid Resistance
Turn ignition switch to OFF position. Using a DVOM, measure resistance between EGRVR solenoid
connector terminals. If EGRVR solenoid resistance is 30-36 ohms, go to next step. If EGRVR solenoid
resistance is not 30-36 ohms, replace ESM.
83) Check EGRVR Circuit For Short To PWR In Harness
Ensure ignition switch is in OFF position. Disconnect PCM connector(s). Turn ignition switch to ON
position. Using a DVOM, measure voltage between negative battery terminal and EGRVR circuit at PCM
harness connector. See PCM CONNECTOR IDENTIFICATION. If voltage is one volt or less, go to
next step. If voltage is more than one volt, repair short to PWR in EGRVR circuit.
84) Check EGRVR Circuit For Open In Harness
NOTE:
A break in step numbering sequence occurs at this point. Procedure skips
from step 74) to step 80). No test procedures have been omitted.
