TEST ACTION APPLICABILITY
1 Ignition on, engine not running.
With the DRBIIIt, read DTCs and record the related Freeze Frame data.
Is the Good Trip displayed and equal to zero?
All
Yes → Go To 2
No → Refer to the INTERMITTENT CONDITION symptom in the
Driveability category.
Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER-5-NGC.
2 Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the EGR Solenoid harness connector.
Turn the ignition on.
Turn all accessories off.
Using a 12 volt Test Light connected to the EGR Solenoid ground circuit, probe the
EGR Solenoid Control circuit.
With the DRB, actuate the EGR solenoid.
Does the 12-volt test light flash on and off?
All
Yes → Replace the EGR Solenoid Assembly.
Perform POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST VER-5-NGC.
No → Go To 3
