EGR Valve (Miata, MPV, Protege, Protege5 & 626)

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2002 Mazda Protege5, 2002 Mazda Protege, 2002 Mazda Millenia, 2002 Mazda MX-5 Miata, and 2002 Mazda MPV. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Using a stethoscope, listen for EGR valve initialization noise (clicks) when starting and stopping engine. If clicking noise is heard, EGR valve is functioning properly. If clicking noise is not heard, go to next step.
  2. Turn ignition switch off. Disconnect EGR valve connector. Using an ohmmeter, measure resistance between EGR valve terminals "C" and "E", "C" and "A", "D" and "B" and between "D" and "F". See Fig 1 . Each resistance reading should be about 22 ohms (MPV & 626) or 20-24 ohms (Miata, Protege and Protege5).
  3. If resistance is as specified, check wiring harness between EGR valve and PCM. See WIRING DIAGRAMS article. If resistance is not as specified, replace EGR valve.
