Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Diagnostic Aids
When attempting to diagnose an intermittent problem, use scan tester to review supplemental diagnostic information. Supplemental data (scan tester MALF HISTORY) can be used to help duplicate an intermittent problem. Using Diagnostic Service Probe (12092782) allows voltage to be read on wires without disconnecting connectors.
If MALF history indicates a Code 26 was set with Code 32 and no other Quad Driver related symptoms exist, Code 32 was probably set due to a problem in circuit No. 697, the linear EGR module or possibly the PCM.
If just Code 32 is set, check desired and actual pintle position. If both parameters have a percent open value in them, but they do not closely match each other, sensor may be sticking.
