Code 32, EGR Circuit Error - "C" & "K" Series M/T: Notes

1993 Chevrolet Sportvan G30, Van Passenger, 7.4 NSECTION Notes
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 1994 GMC Vandura, 1994 GMC Rally, 1994 GMC Pickup, 1994 Chevrolet Sportvan, and 1994 Chevrolet Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

ECM controls a solenoid regulating vacuum to EGR valve. Normally closed solenoid prevents vacuum from passing until it is energized by ECM. A properly operating EGR will directly affect fuel integrator counts. With EGR valve open, integrator counts will be less than without EGR operation. If monitored integrator counts do not change with EGR commanded, Code 32 will set.

NOTE: Test numbers refer to test numbers on diagnostic chart.
  1. When test terminal "B" of ALDL connector is grounded, EGR solenoid should be energized, allowing vacuum to EGR valve. Vacuum should hold.
  2. SERVICE ENGINE SOON light should flash while ALDL test terminal is grounded. If light does not flash, this may be an indication that quad-driver has been damaged by low resistance in the TCC circuit.
  3. When jumper wire is removed from terminal "B", vacuum to EGR valve should bleed through a vent in solenoid and EGR valve should close. Vacuum gauge may or may not bleed off vacuum. However, this does not indicate a problem.
  4. Determines if fault lies in electrical control part of system, connector or solenoid.
  5. This system uses a negative backpressure EGR valve. Valve should hold vacuum with engine off.
  6. When engine is started, backpressure should cause vacuum to bleed off and valve should fully close.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
