• Check cylinder compression.
o * 01-10B COMPRESSION INSPECTION
[KL]
• Are cylinder compression readings
within specification?
Yes Go to next step.
No SERVICE as necessary.
RESET PCM to completely clear DTCs.
tr After Repair Procedure

• EGR valve disconnected.
• Key on, engine off.
• Measure voltage between power circuit
and chassis ground at EGR valve vehicle
harness connector.
• Is EGR valve power voltage greater than
10.5 volts?
Yes Go to next step.
No SERVICE open in EGR valve power circuit.
RECONNECT all components.
RESET PCM to completely clear DTCs.
c r After Repair Procedure
COMPLETE OBD II Drive Mode.
RERUN OBD Test.
