TROUBLESHOOTING

OPERATION

• Power is supplied to the EGR control solenoid

valve (terminal No. 1) from the engine control
relay (terminal No. 4).

• The engine-ECU (terminal No. 6) makes the

power transistor in the unit be in "ON", and that
makes currents go on the EGR control solenoid
valve (terminal No. 2).

FUNCTION

• In response to the signal from the engine-ECU,

the EGR control solenoid valve controls the oper-
ation of the EGR valve.

TROUBLE JUDGMENT

Check Condition

• The battery voltage is 10 V or more.

Judgment Criterion

• When the EGR control solenoid valve is turned to

"LOCK" (OFF) position from "ON" position, none
of solenoid coil surge voltage (system voltage of
+2 V) is detected.

PROBABLE CAUSES

• Failed EGR control solenoid valve

• Open/short circuit in EGR control solenoid valve

circuit or loose connector contact

• Failed engine-ECU

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP 1. M.U.T.-II/III actuator test

• Item No. 10: EGR control solenoid valve

OK: Operating sound can be heard and the
valve vibrates.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP

00

− How to Use

Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points

P.00-5

).

NO :

Go to Step 2 .

STEP 2. Connector check: B-101 EGR control
solenoid valve connector

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 3 .

NO :

Repair or replace the connector.

STEP 3. Perform resistance measurement at
B-101 EGR control solenoid valve connector.

• Disconnect connector, and measure at solenoid

valve side.

• Resistance between terminal No. 1 and No. 2.

OK: 29

− 35 Ω (at 20°C)

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 4 .

NO :

Replace the EGR control solenoid valve.

STEP 4. Perform voltage measurement at B-101
EGR control solenoid valve connector.

• Disconnect connector, and measure at harness

side.

• Ignition switch: "ON"

• Voltage between terminal No. 1 and earth.

OK: System voltage

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 6 .

NO :

Go to Step 5 .

STEP 5. Connector check: B-12X engine control
relay connector

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Check intermediate connector B-14, and

repair if necessary. If intermediate
connector is normal, check and repair
harness between B-101 (terminal No. 1)
EGR control solenoid valve connector and
B-12X (terminal No. 4) engine control relay
connector.

• Check power supply line for

open/short circuit.

NO :

Repair or replace the connector.

STEP 6. Perform voltage measurement at C-121
engine-ECU connector.

• Disconnect connector, and measure at harness

side.

• Ignition switch: "ON"

• Voltage between terminal No. 6 and earth.

OK: System voltage

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 8 .

NO :

Go to Step 7 .

STEP 7. Connector check: C-121 engine-ECU
connector

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Check intermediate connector B-14, and

repair if necessary. If intermediate
connector is normal, check and repair
harness between B-101 (terminal No. 2)
EGR control solenoid valve connector and
C-121 (terminal No. 6) engine-ECU
connector.

• Check output line for open/short

circuit.

NO :

Repair or replace the connector.
