- Ignition OFF, test for less than 5 Ξ© between the low reference circuit terminal B and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 volts between the 5-volt reference circuit terminal A and ground.
- If less than the specified range, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- If greater than the specified range, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Ignition ON, and the EGR valve disconnected, observe that the EGR Position Sensor parameter on the scan tool is 0 volt.
- If the EGR Position Sensor parameter is more than 0 volt, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuits test normal, replace the ECM.
- Ignition ON and the EGR valve disconnected, connect a jumper wire between the 5-volt reference circuit terminal A and the signal circuit terminal C and observe with a scan tool that the EGR Position Sensor parameter displays 4.98-5.02 volts.
- If the EGR Position Sensor parameter is less than 4.98 volts, test the signal circuit for an open, short to ground, or high resistance. If the circuits test normal, replace the control module.
- If the circuits test normal, replace the EGR valve motor.

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- β’ You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- β’ Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- β’ The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- β’ You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- β’ You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
