Emission Control System
Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) System (D16yS engine)
Doscription
The EGR system is designed to reduce oxides of nitrogen emissions (NOx) by recirculating exhaust gas through the EGRvalve and the intake manifold into the combustion chambers. lt is composed of the EGR valve. EGR vacuum conrrot vatve.EGR control solenoid valve. ECM and various sensors.The EcM contains memories for ideal EGR valve lifts for varying operating conditions, The EGR valve lift sensor detectsthe amount of EGR valve lift and sends the information to the ECM. The ECM then compares it with the ideat EGR valve liftwhich is determined by signals sent from the other sensors. lf there is any difference between the two. the EcM cuts cur-rent to the EGR control solenoid valve to reduce vacuum applied to the EGR valve.

Emission Control System
Positive Crankcase Ventilation IPCVI System
Descripiion
The Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) system is
designed to prevent blow-by gas from escaping to the
atmosphere. The PCV valve contains a spring-loaded
plunger. When the engine starts, the plunger in the PCV
valve is lifted in proportion to intake manifold vacuum
and the blow-by gas is drawn directly into the intake
manifold.

lrcpection
1. Check the PCV hoses and connections for leaks and
clogging.
2. At idle, make sure there is a clicking sound from the
PCV valve when the hose between the PCV valve
and the intake manifold is lightly pinched with your
fingers or pliers,
