  2. CHECK THE (K670) EGR BYPASS VALVE SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND 
    1. Turn the ignition off.
    2. Disconnect the EGR Cooling Bypass Solenoid harness connector.
    3. Disconnect the PCM C2 harness connector.
    4. Measure the resistance between ground and the (K670) EGR Bypass Valve Signal circuit at the EGR Cooling Bypass Solenoid harness connector.

      Is the resistance below 10k Ohms?

      Yes 

      • Repair the (K670) EGR Bypass Valve Signal circuit for a short to ground.
      • Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to PCM VERIFICATION TEST .

      No 

      • Go To  3
  3. CHECK THE ABILITY OF THE PCM TO CONTROL EGR COOLER BYPASS VALVE SOLENOID OPERATION 
    1. Connect the PCM C2 harness connector.
    2. Turn the ignition on.
    3. With the scan tool, read DTCs.
      NOTE:

      • Go To  4
  4. CHECK RELATED HARNESS CONNECTIONS 
    1. Disconnect all PCM harness connectors.
    2. Disconnect all related in-line harness connections (if equipped).
    3. Disconnect the related component harness connectors.
    4. Inspect harness connectors, component connectors, and all male and female terminals for the following conditions:

      • Damaged connector locks.
      • Corrosion.
      • Other signs of water intrusion.
      • Weather seal damage (if equipped).
      • Bent terminals.
      • Overheating due to a poor connection (terminal may be discolored due to excessive current draw).
      • Terminals that have been pushed back into the connector cavity.
      • Check for spread terminals and verify proper terminal tension.

      Repair any conditions that are found.

    5. Connect all PCM harness connectors. Be certain that all harness connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
    6. Connect all in-line harness connectors (if equipped). Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
    7. Connect all related component harness connectors. Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
    8. With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
    9. Test drive or operate the vehicle in accordance with the when monitored and set conditions.
    10. With the scan tool, read DTCs.

      Did the DTC return?
