July 1: So it begins. Don't worry, this is not in the correct legal jurisdiction!

Circuit Open/Short Inspection

  1. Disconnect the PCM connector. (See PCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
  2. Connect the SST  (104 Pin Breakout Box) the PCM disconnected.
  3. Tighten the connector attaching bolt.

  4. Inspect the following wiring harness for open or short circuit (Continuity check).

    Open circuit 

    • If there is no continuity, the circuit is open. Repair or replace the harness.
      • EGR valve terminal E (harness-side) and 104 pin breakout box terminal 98
      • EGR valve terminal A (harness-side) and 104 pin breakout box terminal 99
      • EGR valve terminal B (harness-side) and 104 pin breakout box terminal 72
      • EGR valve terminal F (harness-side) and 104 pin breakout box terminal 73
      • EGR valve terminal C or D (harness-side) and main relay terminal D (harness-side)

    Short circuit 

    • If there is continuity, the circuit is shorted. Repair or replace the harness.
      • EGR valve terminal E (harness-side) and GND
      • EGR valve terminal A (harness-side) and GND
      • EGR valve terminal B (harness-side) and GND
      • EGR valve terminal F (harness-side) and GND
      • EGR valve terminal C or D (harness-side) and power supply
  5. Remove the EGR valve, and inspect for any damage or clogging.
    • If there is no damage or no clogging, replace the EGR valve.
