Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).



Diagnostic Test

1. ACTIVE DTC

Ignition on, engine not running.
With a scan tool, select View DTCs.

Is the DTC Active at this time?

Yes


No

2. EGR SOLENOID ASSEMBLY



Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the EGR Solenoid harness connector.
Ignition on, engine not running.
Turn off all accessories.
Using a 12-volt test light connected to the (Z906) EGR Solenoid ground circuit, probe the (K35) EGR Solenoid Control circuit.
With a scan tool, actuate the EGR solenoid.

Does the 12-volt test light flash on and off?

Yes


No

3. (Z906) EGR SOLENOID GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN



Turn the ignition off.
Using a 12-volt test light connected to the 12-volts, probe the (Z906) EGR Solenoid ground circuit in the EGR Solenoid harness connector.

Does the test light illuminate brightly?

Yes


No

4. (K35) EGR SOLENOID CONTROL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO BATTERY VOLTAGE



Ignition on, engine not running.
Disconnect the C2 PCM harness connector.
Measure the voltage on the (K35) EGR Solenoid Control circuit in the EGR Solenoid connector.

Is the voltage above 1.0 volt?

Yes


No

5. (K35) EGR SOLENOID CONTROL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND



Turn the ignition off.
Measure the resistance between ground and the (K35) EGR Solenoid Control circuit in the EGR Solenoid harness connector.

Is the resistance below 100 ohms?

Yes


No

6. (K35) EGR SOLENOID CONTROL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO THE (K900) SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT



Measure the resistance between the (K35) EGR Solenoid Control circuit and the (K900) Sensor ground circuit in the EGR Solenoid connector.

Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

Yes


No

7. (K35) EGR SOLENOID CONTROL CIRCUIT OPEN


CAUTION: Do not probe the PCM harness connectors. Probing the PCM harness connectors will damage the PCM terminals resulting in poor terminal to pin connection. Install Miller Special Tool #8815 to perform diagnosis.


Measure the resistance of the (K35) EGR Solenoid Control circuit from the EGR Solenoid harness connector to the appropriate terminal of special tool #8815.

Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

Yes


No

8. PCM

NOTE: Before continuing, check the PCM harness connector terminals for corrosion, damage, or terminal push out. Repair as necessary.


Using the schematics as a guide, inspect the wire harness and connectors. Pay particular attention to all Power and Ground circuits.

Were there any problems found?

Yes


No
