Diagnostic Test

1. CHECK FOR ACTIVE DTC

NOTE: If the ECM detects and stores a DTC, the ECM also stores the engine/vehicle operating conditions under which the DTC was set. Some of these conditions are displayed on the scan tool at the same time the DTC is displayed.


NOTE: Before erasing stored DTCs, record these conditions. Attempting to duplicate these conditions may assist when checking for an active DTC.


Turn the ignition on.
With the scan tool, erase ECM DTCs.
Perform several ignition cycles, turning the ignition off for at least 10 seconds between each ignition cycle.
Monitor the scan tool for ECM DTCs.

Did this DTC set again?

Yes


No

2. CHECKING FOR OTHER DTCS

NOTE: An open MAIN Relay power supply to the ECM will cause multiple DTC's including this DTC to set.


NOTE: Check the ECM for other DTC's. If other DTC's are set with this DTC refer to the symptom list and perform the CHECKING THE ECM POWER AND GROUND CIRCUITS test before continuing.



If the ECM power and ground circuits are functioning properly continue with this test.

Yes

3. (K344) MAIN RELAY OUTPUT CKTS OPEN



Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the Valve Block Assembly harness connector.
Turn the ignition on.
Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, check all the (K344) Main Relay Output circuits at the Valve Block Assembly harness connector.

Does the test light illuminate brightly on all circuits?

Yes


No

4. (K53) EGR COOLER BYPASS CONTROL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND



Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the ECM harness connectors.
Measure the resistance between ground and the (K53) EGR Cooler Bypass Control circuit at the Valve Block Assembly harness connector.

Is the resistance above 1000 ohms?

Yes


No

5. (K53) EGR COOLER BYPASS CONTROL CIRCUIT OPEN



Measure the resistance of the (K53) EGR Cooler Bypass Control circuit between the Valve Block Assembly harness connector and the ECM harness connector.

Is the resistance below 10.0 ohms?

Yes


No

6. VALVE BLOCK ASSEMBLY

Install a substitute Valve Block Assembly in place of the vehicle's Valve Block Assembly.

NOTE: Ensure the ECM and Valve Block Assembly harness connectors are connected.


Turn the ignition on.
With the scan tool, check for this DTC to set again.

Did this DTC set again?

Yes


No
