3. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported

concern is found, correct the cause (if possible)
before proceeding to the next step.
4. If the concern is not visually evident, verify the
symptom and refer to the Symptom Chart.

Symptom Chart

Symptom Possible Sources Action

• Poor engine performance • EGR valve. • Using the WDS, CHECK the
EGR Valve Duty Cycle input
signal to the EGR vacuum
regulator valve. If the result is
0%, REMOVE the EGR valve.

INSPECT the EGR valve and
valve seat for damage. Make
sure that the EGR valve is in
the closed position. If the EGR
valve is not closed. INSTALL a
new EGR valve. TEST the
system for normal operation. If
the result is not 0% continue
the engine diagnostic using the
WDS.
