      (+) EEGR Assembly Connector, Harness Side (-) Vehicle Battery
      EGRMC1 - Pin 1 Negative terminal
      EGRMC2 - Pin 3 Negative terminal
      EGRMC3 - Pin 4 Negative terminal
      EGRMC4 - Pin 6 Negative terminal

    Are the resistances greater than 10K ohms? 

    Yes No
    GO to KD6  . REPAIR the short circuit. Clear the PCM DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
  6. KD6 CHECK FOR A SHORT BETWEEN EEGR CIRCUITS 
    NOTE: Refer to the service informationPCM connector pin numbers in the beginning of this pinpoint test.
    • Measure the resistance between:
      (+) EEGR Assembly Connector, Harness Side (-) EEGR Assembly Connector, Harness Side
      EGRMC3 - Pin 4 EGRMC1 - Pin 1
      EGRMC3 - Pin 4 EGRMC2 - Pin 3
      EGRMC3 - Pin 4 EGRMC4 - Pin 6
      EGRMC1 - Pin 1 EGRMC2 - Pin 3
      EGRMC1 - Pin 1 EGRMC4 - Pin 6
      EGRMC2 - Pin 3 EGRMC4 - Pin 6

    Are the resistances greater than 10K ohms? 

    Yes No
    GO to KD7  . REPAIR the short circuit. Clear the PCM DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
  7. KD7 CHECK THE EEGR CIRCUITS FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE 
    • Ignition ON, engine OFF.
    • Measure the voltage between:
      (+) EEGR Assembly Connector, Harness Side (-) Vehicle Battery
      EGRMC1 - Pin 1 Negative terminal
      EGRMC2 - Pin 3 Negative terminal
      EGRMC3 - Pin 4 Negative terminal
      EGRMC4 - Pin 6 Negative terminal

    Is any voltage present? 

    Yes No
    REPAIR the short circuit. Clear the PCM DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. GO to KD8  .
  8. KD8 CHECK THE EEGR COILS FOR AN OPEN 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Measure the resistance between:
      (+) EEGR Assembly Connector, Component Side (-) EEGR Assembly Connector, Component Side
      EGRMC1 - Pin 1 VPWR - Pin 2
      EGRMC2 - Pin 3 VPWR - Pin 2
      EGRMC3 - Pin 4 VPWR - Pin 5
      EGRMC4 - Pin 6 VPWR - Pin 5

    Are the resistances between 12 - 24 ohms? 

    Yes No
    GO to  KD11. INSTALL a new EEGR assembly.
    REFER to the service information , Engine Emission Control.
    Clear the PCM DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
  9. KD9 COMPARE THE ACTUAL MAP VOLTAGE TO THE MAP PID VOLTAGE 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • PCM connector connected.
    • Ignition ON, engine OFF.
    • Access the PCM and monitor the MAP (VOLT) PID.
    • Record the MAP PID voltage.
    • Ignition ON, engine running.
    • Record the MAP PID voltage.
    • Increase engine speed to 1, 000 RPM.
    • Record the MAP PID voltage.
    • Increase engine speed to 2, 000 RPM.
    • Record the MAP PID voltage.

    Does the MAP PID voltage stay within 0.5 V of the actual MAP voltage? 

    Yes No
    The concern is not present at this time.
    Make sure the MAP sensor is correctly seated and the vacuum source is not blocked.
    Clear the PCM DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.    		 GO to KD10  .
  10. KD10 CARRY OUT THE KOER SELF-TEST 
    • Carry out the PCM KOER self-test.

    Is DTC P1408 retrieved again? 

    Yes No
    INSTALL a new EEGR assembly.
    REFER to the service information , Engine Emission Control.
    Clear the PCM DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.    		 REFER to NO DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCS) PRESENT SYMPTOM CHART INDEX , to continue diagnosis.
  11. KD11 CHECK FOR CORRECT PCM OPERATION 
    • Disconnect all the PCM connectors.
    • Visually inspect for:
      • pushed out pins
      • corrosion
    • Connect all the PCM connectors and make sure they seat correctly.
    • Carry out the PCM self-test.
    • Verify the concern is still present.

    Is the concern still present? 

    Yes No
    INSTALL a new PCM. REFER to FLASH ELECTRICALLY ERASABLE PROGRAMMABLE READ ONLY MEMORY (EEPROM) , Programming the VID Block for a Replacement PCM. The system is operating correctly at this time. The concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector.
