Engine Control System (4JJ1) 1A-299
EGR Control System Check
Description
The EGR system recirculates a part of exhaust gas
back into the intake manifold, which results in reducing
NOx emissions. The EGR control system uses an
electronic control system to ensure both driveability
and low emission. A control current from the ECM
operates a solenoid to control the lift amount of EGR
valve. Also, an EGR position sensor is provided at the
rear of the solenoid to feed actual valve lift amount
back to the ECM for more precision control.
The EGR control starts when the conditions for engine
speed, engine coolant temperature, intake air
temperature and barometric pressure are satisfied.
Then, the valve opening is calculated according to the
engine speed, and target fuel injection quantity. Based
on this valve opening, the drive duty of the solenoid is
determined and the valve is driven accordingly.
EGR Control Operation
• The engine coolant temperature (ECT) is between
70°C (158°F) and 100°C (212°F).
• The intake air temperature (IAT) is more than -
30°C (-22°F).
• The barometric pressure (BARO) is more than
90 kPa (13 psi).

1. Install a scan tool.
2. Turn OFF the ignition for 30 seconds.
3. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
4. Monitor the DTC Information with a scan tool.
Are any DTCs set in which the "Action Taken When
the DTC Sets" under that particular code states,
"The ECM inhibits EGR control"?
