1. Check for continuity between EGR control solenoid valve 2P connector terminal No. 2 and body ground.

Is there continuity?

YES | - | Repair short in the wire between the EGR control solenoid valve and ECM connector No. 1 terminal No. 48, then go to Step 10 .
NO | - | Go to Step 8 .

1. At solenoid side, measure resistance between EGR control solenoid valve 2P connector terminals No. 1 and No. 2.

Is there about 10−14 Ω at 20 °C (68 °F)?

YES | - | Go to Step 14 .
NO | - | Go to Step 9 .

1. Replace the EGR control solenoid valve.

1. Reconnect all connectors.

1. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).

1. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.

Are any Temporary DTCs or DTCs indicated?

YES | - | If DTC P0489 is indicated, check for poor connections or loose terminals at the EGR control solenoid valve and the ECM, then go to Step 1 . If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs are indicated, go to the indicated DTC's troubleshooting.
NO | - | If the ECM was updated, troubleshooting is complete. If the ECM was substituted, replace the original ECM. ■
