1. DISCONNECT CABLE FROM NEGATIVE TERMINAL OFBATTERY
CAUTION: Turn the ignition switch to ºLOCKº. Discon-
nect the cable from the negative (±) terminal of the bat-
tery. Wait at least 20 seconds before proceeding with
work.
2. REMOVE EGR GAS TEMPERATURE SENSOR (a) D i s c onnect the EGR gas temperature sensor
connector.
(b) Remove the EGR gas temperature sensor and gasket.
3. INSPECT EGR GAS TEMPERATURE SENSOR Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the ter-
minals.

1. INSPECT SUB±OXYGEN SENSOR(a) Cancel diagnostic code. (See TR section)
(b) A llo w th e en g in e to wa rm up to no rma l op e ra tin gtemperature.
(c) Drive for 5 minutes or more between 80km/h (50 mph) and 100 km/h (62 mph) in ºDº range.
(d) Following the conditions in step (c), press fully on the
accelerator pedal for 2 seconds or more.
HINT: Do not exceed 100 km/h (62 mph), or diagnostic code
will be cancelled.
(e) Stop the vehicle, and turn the ignition switch to OFF.
(f) Carry out steps (b), (c) and (d) again to test acceleration.
If code No. 27 reappears again, check the sub±oxygen sen-
sor circuit. If the circuit is normal, replace the sub±oxygen
sensor.
