EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR) SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
To reduce NOx emission, part of the exhaust gases are recirculated through the EGR valve to the intake man-
ifold to lower the maximum combustion temperature.
OPERATION
To reduce NOx emission, part of the exhaust gases are recirculated through the EGR valve to the intake manifold to lower the
maximum combustion temperature.

When the throttle valve is positioned above the R port, the EGR vacuum modulator will close the atmosphere passage and
open the EGR valve to increase the EGR gas, even if the exhaust pressure is insufficiently low.

INSPECTION OF EGR SYSTEM
1. CHECK AND CLEAN FILTER IN EGR VACUUM
MODULATOR
(a) Remove the cap and filter.
(b) Check the filter for contamination or damage.
(c) Using compressed air, clean the filter.
(d) Reinstall the filter and cap.
HINT: Install the filter with the coarser surface facing the at-
mospheric side (out ward).
2.
INSPECT SYSTEM OPERATION
(a) Connect the tachometer to terminal IG – of the check
(”DIAGNOSIS”) connector.
(b) Using SST connect the terminals TE1 and E1 of the
check (”DIAGNOSIS”) connector.
SST 09843–18020
(c) Keep the engine at 3,500 rpm with the transmission in
”N” position.
(d) Remove the SST from the check connector.

(e) Check whether the engine rpm increases 100–300 rpm
under the following conditions:
Coolant temp.

INSPECTION OF VSV
1. REMOVE
VSV
(a) Disconnect the VSV connector.
(b) Disconnect the two vacuum hoses from VSV.
(c) Remove the bolt and VSV from the intake manifold.
2. INSPECT
VSV
(a) Inspect VSV for open circuit.
Using an ohmmeter, check that there is continuity be-
tween the terminals.
Resistance (Cold): 33–39
If there is no continuity, replace the VSV.
(b) Inspect VSV for ground.
Using an ohmmeter, check that there is no continuity be-
tween each terminal and the body.
If there is continuity, replace the VSV.
(c) Inspect VSV operation:
1) Check that the air flows from ports E to G

2) Apply battery voltage across the terminals
3) Check that the air flows from port E to port G
If operation is not as specified, replace the VSV.
3. REINSTALL
VSV
(a) Install the VSV with the nut.

(b) Connect the following hoses:
(1) Vacuum hose (from throttle body)
(2) Vacuum hose (from EGR vacuum modulator)
(c) Connect the VSV connector.
INSPECTION OF EGR VACUUM
MODULATOR
1. DISCONNECT VACUUM HOSES FROM EGR VACUUM
MODULATOR
Disconnect the three vacuum hoses from ports P, Q and R of
the EGR vacuum modulator.
2.
INSPECT EGR VACUUM MODULATOR OPERATION
(a) Block ports P and R with your finger.
(b) Blow air into port Q, and check that the air passes
through to the air filter side freely.
(c) Start the engine, and maintain speed at 2,500 rpm.
(d) Repeat the above test. Check the there is a strong
resistance to air flow.
3. RECONNECT

MODULATOR
Connect the three vacuum hoses to the proper locations.
