Diagnostic Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Isuzu Rodeo Sport and 2002 Isuzu Rodeo. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Perform ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC II SYSTEM CHECK under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. After performing OBD-II system check, go to next step.
- Turn ignition on. Using scan tool, select EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION VALVE CONTROL TEST under MISCELLANEOUS TESTS. From scan tool, command EGR valve open to 25, 50, 75 and 100 percent while observing actual EGR valve position. If actual EGR valve position follows commanded EGR position, go to step 19 . If EGR actual position is different than EGR commanded position, go to next step.
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect EGR valve 5-pin harness connector. EGR valve is located at top rear of engine. Turn ignition on. Using a test light connected to battery voltage, probe EGR valve harness connector terminal No. 2 (Blue/Yellow wire). See WIRING DIAGRAMS article. If test light illuminates, leave harness connector disconnected and go to next step. If test light does not illuminate, go to step 5 .
- Using a test light connected to ground, probe EGR valve harness connector terminal No. 1 (Yellow wire) EGR control circuit. Observe test light while using scan tool to, command EGR valve open to 25, 50, 75 and 100 percent. If test light got brighter with each command, flashed or maintained a steady glow, go to step 6 . If test light does not illuminate as specified, go to step 7 .
- Repair open or poor connection in Blue/Yellow wire (EGR valve ground) between PCM and EGR valve. See WIRING DIAGRAMS article. After repair, go to step 19 .
- Using test light connected to ground, probe EGR valve harness connector No. 3 (Yellow/Red wire) EGR signal. If test light illuminates, go to step 8 . If test light does not illuminate, go to step 9 .
- Using test light connected to ground, probe EGR valve harness connector No. 1 (Yellow wire) EGR control circuit. Do not command EGR valve to open. If test light illuminates, go to step 10 . If test light does not illuminate, go to step 11 .
- Check for short to voltage in Yellow/Red wire (EGR signal circuit) between PCM and EGR valve. See WIRING DIAGRAMS article. If problem is found, repair as necessary. After repair, go to step 19 . If no problem was found, go to step 12 .
- Using DVOM measure voltage between ground and EGR valve harness connector terminal No. 4 (Gray/Red wire). Voltage reading should be about 5 volts. If voltage reading is as specified, go to step 13 . If voltage reading is not as specified, go to step 14 .
- Check for short to voltage in Yellow wire (EGR valve control circuit) between PCM and EGR valve. See WIRING DIAGRAMS article. If problem is found, repair as necessary. After repair, go to step 19 . If no problem is found, go to step 12 .
- Using a test light connected to battery voltage, probe EGR valve harness connector terminal No. 1 (Yellow wire). If test light illuminates, go to step 15 . If test light does not illuminate, go to step 16 .
- Replace and reprogram PCM. See POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE REPLACEMENT under POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE. After repair is complete, go to step 19 .
- Check for poor, loose or damaged terminal connections at PCM harness connector C-2 terminal D9 (EGR ground circuit). See Figure . If problem is found, repair as necessary. After repair, go to step 19 . If no problem was found, go to step 17 .
- Check for short to voltage in Gray/Red wire (5-volt reference) between PCM and EGR valve. See WIRING DIAGRAMS article. If problem is found, repair as necessary. After repair, go to step 19 . If no problem was found, repeat test starting in step 12 .
- Check for short to ground in Yellow wire (EGR control circuit) between PCM and EGR valve. See WIRING DIAGRAMS article. If problem is found, repair as necessary. After repair, go to step 19 . If no problem was found, repeat test starting in step 12 .
- Check for an open or poor connection in Yellow wire at EGR valve harness connector. If problem is found, repair as necessary. After repair, go to step 19 . If no problem was found, go to step 18 .
- Replace EGR valve. See REMOVAL, OVERHAUL & INSTALLATION article. After repair, go to step 19 .
- Check for poor, loose or damaged terminal connections in all PCM harness connectors. If problem is found, repair as necessary. After repair, go to next step. If no problem was found, repeat test starting in step 12 .
- Using scan tool, clear DTCs. Start engine and idle at normal operating temperature of 167-203°F (75-95°C). Operate vehicle within CODE ENABLE CRITERIA . If scan tool indicates DTC P0404 RAN AND PASSED, system is okay. See VERIFYING VEHICLE REPAIR under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. If scan tool indicates diagnostic did not pass, repeat test starting in step 2 .
