- Connect NGS scan tool to DLC-2. DLC-2 is located under left side of instrument panel. Turn ignition on. Using scan tool, access DIAGNOSTIC DATA LINK menu, and select PCM. Highlight and select PID/DATA MONITOR AND RECORD. Select BARO V PID.
- Ensure BARO V PID is within specification. Voltage should be 2.3-4.7 volts. If BARO voltage is not as specified, locate and repair open or short circuit in wire harness between EGR boost sensor and PCM. See Fig 1 . See WIRING DIAGRAMS article. If voltage is as specified, go to next step.
- Apply vacuum to EGR boost sensor and monitor BARO voltage. If vacuum is exceeded, EGR boost sensor will be damaged. Voltage should vary between 0.8-1.3 volts. If voltage readings vary as vacuum is applied, EGR boost sensor is functioning properly. If voltage readings do not vary as vacuum is applied, replace EGR boost sensor.
