Component Testing

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 GMC Sierra, 2008 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, 2008 Chevrolet Silverado, and 2008 Chevrolet Cab & Chassis Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT: Perform the Circuit/System Verification before proceeding with the Component Testing.
  1. Using the output controls on the scan tool command the EGR solenoid to 10 percent.
    • If the actual EGR position remains stationary, replace the EGR valve.
  2. Spray the EGR valve gaskets and EGR cooler gaskets with a soap solution. Start the engine. Command the turbocharger vane position control solenoid ON to 100 percent and inspect for leaks around the EGR valve gaskets.
    • If a leak is found replace the EGR valve gasket.
  3. Remove the EGR valve. Refer to Exhaust Gas Recirculation Valve Replacement and inspect that the EGR is not stuck, that there are no leaks or restrictions in the EGR valve and EGR passages, and that there is no debris or damage that can cause the EGR valve to stick partially open or partially closed.
    • If the EGR valve is sticking, or is damaged, replace the EGR valve.
