  1. Crank the engine and verify that EGR valve operation (initial operation) sound is heard.
    • If the operation sound is not heard, connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2 and verify that the DTC P0403 is shown. Perform DTC inspection. (See DTC TABLE .)
  2. Start the engine and idle it.
  3. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature.
  4. Access the following PIDs:
    • ECT, RPM, SEGRP_DSD, APP1, APP2, VSS
  5. Idle the vehicle and verify that the SEGRP value is 0.
    CAUTION:
    • While performing this step, always operate the vehicle in a safe and lawful manner.
    • When the M-MDS is used to observe monitor system status while driving, be sure to have another technician with you, or record the data in the M-MDS using the PID/DATA MONITOR AND RECORD capturing function and inspect later.
  6. Put the vehicle in drive.
  7. Depress the accelerator pedal and verify that the SEGRP_DSD value is increased.
    • If the EGR valve increases, inspect the following:
      • EGR valve (stuck open or close)
      • Wiring harness and connectors (Main relay - EGR valve - PCM)
    • If the SEGRP_DSD value does not increase, inspect the VSS, APP1, APP2, TP REL and ECT PIDs. (See PCM INSPECTION .)
