Circuit/System Verification
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 GMC Sierra, 2009 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, 2009 Chevrolet Silverado, and 2009 Chevrolet Cab & Chassis Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT:
Determine the ambient temperature by using an accurate thermometer.
- To determine which EGR temperature sensor is skewed, ensure that the ignition has been OFF for greater than 5 hours. Install a scan tool and turn the ignition to ON. Observe the EGR Cooler Temp. Sen. 1 and EGR Cooler Temp. Sen. 2 parameters and compare them to ambient temperature. Depending on current ambient temperature and vehicle operation conditions, each sensor parameter should be between -32 to +899°C (-25.6 to +1,650°F). Each sensor parameter should also be less than 33°C (91°F) different from ambient temperature.
- Engine running, observe the DTC information with a scan tool. DTC P040F should not set.
- Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.
