Theory of Operation
TheEGRvalvehasapositionsensorandthe EGR position rationality is designed to make sure that the valve
moves freely within its operating range. Closed valve position referencecheck verifies that the valve is within its
allowable upper and lower limits. The EGR position rationality test looksfor a sustained error relative to commanded
valve position.
When Monitored:
Engine running.
Set Condition:
The EGR flow or valve movement is not what is expected. A rationality error has been detected for the EGR
Open Position Performance. Two trip fault.

Theory of Operation
When all criteria has been met, power is supplied to each MDS Solenoid when the engine is making a transition
from 8 cylinder mode to 4 cylinder mode. By actuating the solenoid, oil pressure is raised to the pair of lifters that
coincide with each particular solenoid. The oil pressure pushes in the locking pins that allows the lifter to collapse,
decoupling the valves and camshaft.
When Monitored:
Transition from 8 to 4 cylinder mode.
Set Condition:
The MDS fails to active and take place for cylinder 1. One trip fault.
Possible Causes
(K451) MDS SOLENOID NO.1 CONTROL SHORT TO GROUND
