Diagnostic Aids
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Pontiac Aztek and 2002 Buick Rendezvous. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Inspect for excessive deposits on the EGR valve pintle or seat. Remove the EGR valve and check for deposits that may interfere with the EGR valve pintle extending completely or cause the pintle to stick.
If DTC is determined to be intermittent, see INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM.
