Diagnostic Aids

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2000 Pontiac Firebird, 2000 Chevrolet Corvette, and 2000 Chevrolet Camaro. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Moisture in exhaust system may cause EGR valve to freeze or stick in colder weather. After vehicle is brought into a warm shop for repairs, EGR valve warms up and the problem goes away. By watching ACTUAL EGR POSITION and DESIRED EGR POSITION on a cold vehicle with a scan tool, view FREEZE FRAME data to determine if DTC set when vehicle was cold by viewing ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE and INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE.
