   NOTE:

   • Make sure that the value of Data List item Engine Independent is "Operate" while performing the Active Test.
   • Do not leave the EGR valve open for 10 seconds or more during the Active Test.
   • Be sure to return the EGR valve to step 0 when the Active Test is completed.
   • Do not open the EGR valve 30 steps or more during the Active Test.

   OK

   The value of Intake Manifold Absolute Pressure changes in response to the EGR step position when the value of Engine Independent is "Operate".

   Standard

   -	EGR Step Position (Active Test)
   	0 Steps	0 to 30 Steps
   Intake Manifold Absolute Pressure (Data List)	(EGR valve is fully closed)	Intake Manifold Absolute Pressure value is at least +10 kPa (1.45 psi) higher than when EGR valve is fully closed

   HINT: 

   • If the value of Data List item Engine Independent is "Not Opr" when the engine is idling, charge control is being performed. Perform the Active Test after charge control is complete ("Operate" is displayed).
   • While performing the Active Test, if the increase in the value of Intake Manifold Absolute Pressure is small, the EGR valve assembly may be malfunctioning.
   • Even if the EGR valve assembly is malfunctioning, rough idling or an increase in the value of Intake Manifold Absolute Pressure may occur while performing the Active Test. However, the amount that the value of Intake Manifold Absolute Pressure increases will be smaller than normal.
