Component DescriptionNLEC0342The EGR temperature sensor detects temperature changes in the
EGR passageway. When the EGR volume control valve opens, hot
exhaust gases flow, and the temperature in the passageway
changes. The EGR temperature sensor is a thermistor that modi-
fies a voltage signal sent from the ECM. This modified signal then
returns to the ECM as an input signal. As the temperature
increases, EGR temperature sensor resistance decreases. This
sensor is not used to control the engine system.
It is used only for the on board diagnosis.

This system controls flow rate of EGR led from exhaust manifold
to intake manifold. The opening of the EGR by-pass passage in the
EGR volume control valve changes to control the flow rate. A
built-in step motor moves the valve in steps corresponding to the
ECM output pulses. The opening of the valve varies for optimum
engine control. The optimum value stored in the ECM is determined
by considering various engine conditions. The EGR volume control
valve remains close under the following conditions.
+Extremely light load engine operation
+Mass air flow sensor malfunction
+Engine idling
+Low engine coolant temperature
+Excessively high engine coolant temperature
+High-speed engine operation

COMPONENT DESCRIPTIONNLEC0349S02EGR Volume Control ValveNLEC0349S0201The EGR volume control valve uses a step motor to control the flow
rate of EGR from exhaust manifold. This motor has four winding
phases. It operates according to the output pulse signal of the
ECM. Two windings are turned ON and OFF in sequence. Each
time an ON pulse is issued, the valve opens or closes, changing
the flow rate. When no change in the flow rate is needed, the ECM
does not issue the pulse signal. A certain voltage signal is issued
so that the valve remains at that particular opening.

On Board Diagnosis LogicNLEC0350If EGR temperature sensor detects EGR flow under the condition
that does not call for EGR, a high-flow malfunction is diagnosed.
NOTE:
Diagnosis for this DTC will occur when engine coolant temperature
is below 50 to 60ÉC (122 to 140ÉF). Therefore, it will be better to
turn ignition switch ªONº (start engine) at the engine coolant tem-
perature below 30ÉC (86ÉF) when starting DTC confirmation pro-
cedure.

DTC Confirmation ProcedureNLEC0351NOTE:
If ªDTC Confirmation Procedureº has been previously conducted,
always turn ignition switch ªOFFº and wait at least 9 seconds
before conducting the next test.
TESTING CONDITION:
+Always perform at a temperature above þ10ÉC (14ÉF).
+Engine coolant temperature and EGR temperature must
be verified in ªDATA MONITORº mode with CONSULT-II
before starting DTC WORK SUPPORT test. If it is out of
range below, the test cannot be conducted.
COOLAN TEMP/S: þ10 to 40ÉC (14 to 104ÉF)*
EGR TEMP SEN: Less than 4.8V
If the values are out of the ranges indicated above, park
the vehicle in a cool place and allow the engine tempera-
ture to stabilize. Do not attempt to reduce the engine cool-
ant or EGR temperature with a fan or means other than
ambient air. Doing so may produce an inaccurate diagnos-
tic result.
*: Although CONSULT-II screen displays ªþ10 to 40ÉC (14 to
104ÉF)º as a range of engine coolant temperature, ignore it.
With CONSULT-II
1) Turn ignition switch ªOFFº and wait at least 9 seconds, then
turn ignition switch ªONº.
2) Select ªEGR SYSTEM P1402º of ªEGR SYSTEMº in ªDTC
WORK SUPPORTº mode with CONSULT-II.
3) Touch ªSTARTº. Follow instruction of CONSULT-II.
4) Start engine and let it idle until ªTESTINGº on CONSULT-II
screen is turned to ªCOMPLETEDº. (It will take 45 seconds or
more.)
If ªTESTINGº is not displayed after 5 minutes, turn ignition
ªOFFº and cool the engine coolant temperature to the
range of þ10 to 40ÉC (14 to 104ÉF). Retry from step 1.
5) Make sure that ªOKº is displayed after touching ªSELF-DIAG
RESULTSº. If ªNGº is displayed, refer to ªDiagnostic
Procedureº, EC-399.
