EGR Cooler Switch Over Valve and EGR Cooler Bypass Valve Checking







EGR Cooler Switch Over Valve and EGR Cooler Bypass Valve Checking

Observe all safety precautions: => [ Safety Precautions ] Safety Precautions

View clean working conditions: => [ Clean Working Conditions ] Clean Working Conditions

Perform a preliminary check to verify the condition: => [ Preliminary Check ] Preliminary Check.

Use only gold-plated terminals when servicing any component with gold-plated electrical harness connector terminals.

For wiring diagrams, component locations, and connector views, Refer to the applicable wiring diagram.

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

Multimeter

Electrical connector test lead set

Test conditions

Battery voltage 12.5 V

Fuse OK

Ignition switched Off

Test procedure

- Disconnect the EGR Cooler Switch Over Valve or Bypass Valve (N345 or N386) harness connector.

- Measure the resistance of the 2 terminals of the EGR Cooler Switch Over Valve or Bypass Valve (N345 or N386) connector.

Specified value: 38.5 ohms (+/- 6 ohms).

If the specified value was not obtained:

- Replace the EGR Cooler Switch Over Valve or Bypass Valve (N345 or N386). Refer to the Repair Information.

If the specified value was obtained:

Checking voltage

- Turn the ignition switch ON.

- Connect the voltmeter to terminal 1 of the EGR Cooler Switch Over Valve or Bypass Valve (N345 or N386) harness connector and ground black lead to engine ground.

Specified value: Battery voltage

If the specified value was obtained:

- Connect the multimeter to terminal 2 of the EGR Cooler Switch Over Valve or Bypass Valve (N345 or N386) harness connector and ground black lead to engine ground.

Specified value: 3.48 V (+/-.5 V).

If any of the specified values were Not obtained:

Checking wiring

- Remove the Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623). Refer to the Repair Information.

- Using a multimeter, check the EGR Cooler Switch Over Valve or Bypass Valve (N345 or N386) electrical harness connector terminals to the Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623) electrical harness connector T105 connector for resistance.






Specified value: 1.5 ohms Max.

If any of the specified values were Not obtained:

- Check the wires for a short circuit to each other, a short to battery voltage, or a short to ground.

- Check the electrical harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.

- Repair as necessary.

If no malfunction is detected in electrical circuit and the voltage was Not obtained:

- Replace the Engine Control Module (ECM) (J623). Refer to the Repair Information for removal and installation procedures.

Final procedures

After the repair work, the following work steps must be performed in the following sequence:

1. Check the DTC memory. Refer to => [ Diagnostic Mode 03 - Read DTC Memory ] Diagnostic Modes 01 - 09.

2. If necessary, erase the DTC memory. Refer to => [ Diagnostic Mode 04 - Erase DTC Memory ] Diagnostic Modes 01 - 09.

3. If the DTC memory was erased, generate readiness code. Refer to => [ Readiness Code ] Monitors, Trips, Drive Cycles and Readiness Codes.
