5. REMOVE EGR GAS TEMPERATURE SENSOR FROM

EGR VALVE ADAPTOR
(a) Mount the EGR valve adaptor in a vise.
(b) Remove the EGR valve adaptor.
(c) Remove

the

connector bracket from the sensor

connector.

6.

INSPECT EGR GAS TEMPERATURE SENSOR
Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the ter-
minals.

Resistance:

69–89 k

at 50

°

C (112

°

F)

12–15 k

at 100

°

C (212

°

F)

2–4 k

at 150

°

C (302

°

F)

If the resistance is not as specified, replace the sensor.
