1. Disconnect the vacuum hose from the solenoid valve.
  1. Disconnect the harness connector.
  1. Connect a hand vacuum pump to nipple (A) of the solenoid valve (refer to the illustration at left).
  1. Check air tightness by applying a vacuum with voltage applied directly from the battery to the EGR control solenoid valve and without applying voltage.
  2. Battery voltage
