    • IPDM E/R harness connector E122
    • Harness for open or short between EGR volume control valve and IPDM E/R
      • : Repair harness or connectors.
  3. CHECK EGR VOLUME CONTROL VALVE OUTPUT SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR OPEN AND SHORT 
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect ECM harness connector.
    3. Check harness continuity between ECM terminals and EGR volume control valve terminals as follows.

      Refer to WIRING DIAGRAM .
