Exhaust Gas RECIRCULATION Vacuum Regulator Solenoid Valve, Checking
Special tools and workshop equipment required
- Multimeter.
- Wiring diagram.
Test requirements
- Fuse (on fuse panel) -S234- OK.
- The ignition switched off.
Voltage for the EGR Vacuum Regulator Solenoid Valve -N18- is supplied by the Power Supply Relay (terminal 30, B+) -J317-.
Test procedure
-- Perform a preliminary check to verify the customers complaint. Refer to GENERAL DIAGNOSIS .
Start diagnosis
-- Disconnect the EGR Vacuum Regulator Solenoid Valve -N18- electrical harness connector.
Checking internal resistance
-- Using a Multimeter --, check the EGR Vacuum Regulator Solenoid Valve -N18- terminals 1 and 2 for resistance.
Specified value: 14 to 18 Ω.
If the specified value is not obtained:
-- Replace the EGR Vacuum Regulator Solenoid Valve -N18-.
If the specification is obtained:
Checking voltage
-- Switch the ignition on.
-- Using a Multimeter, check the EGR Potentiometer -G212- electrical harness connector terminal 1 to Ground (GND) for voltage.
Specified value: Battery (+).
If the specified value was not obtained:
-- Check the EGR Potentiometer -G212- electrical harness connector terminal 1 to the Power Supply Relay (terminal 30, B+) -J317- socket 6/87 for an for an open circuit or a short circuit.
-- Check the wiring connections for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.
-- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.
If the specified value was obtained:
Checking wiring
If the manufacturers test box is being used, perform the following step.
-- Install the test box. Refer to 68-PIN TEST BOX ADAPTER, VAG1598/19, INSTALLING .
If the manufacturers test box is not being used, perform the following step.
-- Remove the Diesel Direct Fuel Injection (DFI) Engine Control Module (ECM) -J248-. Refer to DIESEL DIRECT FUEL INJECTION ECM, REPLACING .
-- Using a Multimeter --, check the EGR Vacuum Regulator Solenoid Valve -N18- /EGR Potentiometer -G212- electrical harness connector terminal to the Diesel Direct Fuel Injection (DFI) Engine Control Module (ECM) -J248- electrical harness connector T60 terminal for resistance.

Specified value: 1.5 Ω Max.
If the specification was not obtained:
-- Check the wiring for a short circuit to each other, Battery (+), and Ground (GND).
-- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.
-- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.
If no malfunction is detected in the wiring:
-- Erase the DTC memory. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC MODE 04 - ERASE DTC MEMORY .
-- Perform a road test to verify repair.
If the DTC does not return:
Repair complete, Generate readiness code. Refer to READINESS CODE .
-- End diagnosis.
If the DTC does return and no malfunction is detected in the wiring and the voltage supply was not OK:
-- Replace the Diesel Direct Fuel Injection (DFI) Engine Control Module (ECM) -J248-. Refer to DIESEL DIRECT FUEL INJECTION ECM, REPLACING .
-- Assembly is performed in the reverse of the removal.
Final procedures
After the repair work, the following work steps must be performed in the following sequence:
- Check the DTC memory. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC MODE 03 - READ DTC MEMORY .
- If necessary, erase the DTC memory. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC MODE 04 - ERASE DTC MEMORY .
- If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code. Refer to READINESS CODE .
