The ECM receives signals sent from the engine coolant tempera-
ture sensor, crankshaft position sensor (TDC), ignition switch, mass
air ¯ow sensor and accelerator position sensor to determine engine
speed and operating conditions. Based on these signals, the ECM
controls EGR control solenoid valve (A and B) operation and
throttle control solenoid valve operation.

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
The EGRC-solenoid valves A and B control vacuum pressure act-
ing on the EGR valve. The EGR control valve will then be fully
opened, half-opened or fully closed, as required.
The throttle control solenoid valve controls vacuum pressure acting
on the throttle chamber. Thus, intake air passages are opened or
closed in relation to exhaust gas and intake air. Utilizing the rela-
tionship between exhaust gas pressure and intake air pressure
control, the amount of EGR (exhaust gas recirculated) is regulated
in three stages Ð large, medium, small.
