Diagnostic Test
- CHECK FOR AN ACTIVE DTC
- With the scan tool, read Powertrain Control Module (PCM) DTCs and Freeze Frame Data and record on the repair order.
- Using the recorded Freeze Frame Data and the When Monitored and Set Conditions above, operate the vehicle in the conditions that set the DTC.
- With the scan tool, read PCM DTCs.
Is the DTC active or pending?
Yes
- Go To 2
No
- Perform the INTERMITTENT CONDITION diagnostic procedure. Refer to INTERMITTENT CONDITION .
- CHECK THE (K684) EGR CONTROL 2 CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
- Turn the ignition off.
- Disconnect the EGR Valve harness connector.
- Disconnect the PCM C2 harness connector.
- Check for continuity between ground and the (K684) EGR Control 2 circuit at the EGR Valve harness connector.
Is there continuity between ground and the (K684) EGR Control 2 circuit?
Yes
- Repair the (K684) EGR Control 2 circuit for a short to ground.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Go To 3
- CHECK FOR THE (K684) EGR CONTROL 2 CIRCUIT SHORTED TO THE (K682) EGR CONTROL 1 CIRCUIT
- Check for continuity between the (K684) EGR Control 2 circuit and the (K682) EGR Control 1 circuit at the EGR Valve harness connector.
Is there continuity between the (K684) EGR Control 2 circuit and the (K682) EGR Control 1 circuit?
Yes
- Repair the short between the (K684) EGR Control 2 circuit and the (K682) EGR Control 1 circuit.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
No
- Go To 4
- Check for continuity between the (K684) EGR Control 2 circuit and the (K682) EGR Control 1 circuit at the EGR Valve harness connector.
- REPLACE THE EGR VALVE AND RETEST FOR DTC
- Replace the EGR Valve in accordance with the Service Information.
- Reconnect the EGR Valve harness connector.
- Reconnect the PCM C2 harness connector.
- Turn the ignition on.
- With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
- Using the recorded Freeze Frame Data and the When Monitored and Set Conditions above, operate the vehicle in the conditions that set the DTC.
- With the scan tool, read DTCs.
Did the DTC return?
Yes
- Go To 5
No
- Repair is complete.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
- CHECK RELATED PCM AND COMPONENT CONNECTIONS
- Perform any Service Bulletins that apply.
- Disconnect all PCM harness connectors.
- Disconnect all related in-line harness connections (if equipped).
- Disconnect the related component harness connectors.
- Inspect harness connectors, component connectors, and all male and female terminals for the following conditions:
- Proper connector installation.
- Damaged connector locks.
- Corrosion.
- Other signs of water intrusion.
- Weather seal damage (if equipped).
- Bent terminals.
- Overheating due to a poor connection (terminal may be discolored due to excessive current draw).
- Terminals that have been pushed back into the connector cavity.
- Check for spread terminals and verify proper terminal tension.
Repair any conditions that are found.
- Reconnect all PCM harness connectors. Be certain that all harness connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
- Reconnect all in-line harness connectors (if equipped). Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
