The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve is controlled by the engine control module (ECM) through the EGR motor high control and the EGR motor low control circuits. The ECM supplies voltage that is near ignition voltage to the high and low control circuits at all times. The ECM will pulse width modulates the low control circuit to ground when EGR is desired. The lower the pulse width, the more the valve will open. The ECM will modulate the high control circuit to ground when the EGR valve is desired closed. If the ECM detects an electrical malfunction on the control circuits, DTC P0403 will set.
