DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

Step Check Yes No
1 CHECK POWER SUPPLY TO EGR VALVE. 
  1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
  2. Disconnect the connector from EGR valve.
  3. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
  4. Measure the voltage between EGR valve connector and engine ground.

    Connector & terminal 

    (E18) No. 2 (+) - Engine ground (-): 

    (E18) No. 5 (+) - Engine ground (-): 

Is the voltage more than 10 V? Go to step 2.  Repair the harness and connector.
NOTE: In this case, repair the following item:
  • Open circuit in harness between EGR valve and main relay connector
  • Poor contact of coupling connector
2 CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND EGR VALVE CONNECTOR. 
  1. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
  2. Measure the resistance between ECM and EGR valve connector.

    Connector & terminal 

    DTC P1492; (B134) No. 8 - (E18) No. 3: 

    DTC P1494; (B134) No. 9 - (E18) No. 1: 

    DTC P1496; (B134) No. 10 - (E18) No. 4: 

    DTC P1498; (B134) No. 20 - (E18) No. 6: 

Is the resistance less than 1 Ω? Go to step 3.  Repair the harness and connector.
NOTE: In this case, repair the following item:
  • Open circuit in harness between ECM and EGR valve connector
  • Poor contact of coupling connector
3 CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ECM AND EGR VALVE CONNECTOR. 
  1. Disconnect the connectors from ECM.
  2. Measure the resistance between ECM connector and chassis ground.

    Connector & terminal 

    DTC P1492; (B134) No. 8 - Chassis ground: 

    DTC P1494; (B134) No. 9 - Chassis ground: 

    DTC P1496; (B134) No. 10 - Chassis ground: 

    DTC P1498; (B134) No. 20 - Chassis ground: 

Is the resistance more than 1 MΩ? Go to step 4.  Repair the ground short in harness between ECM and EGR valve connector.
4 CHECK POOR CONTACT. 
Check poor contact in ECM connector and EGR valve connector.
Is there poor contact in ECM connector or EGR valve connector? Repair the poor contact in ECM connector or EGR valve connector. Replace the EGR valve. < Ref. to EGR VALVE . >
