Opening Test

  1. With engine at operating temperature, rapidly open and close throttle (rev engine to at least 1500 RPM). A movement should be seen in the EGR diaphragm.
  2. If diaphragm does not move, probable causes are: faulty vacuum signal to EGR valve; defective EGR diaphragm or back-pressure sensor diaphragm; vacuum leak.
