Electronic EGR System: V8
- With engine cold and not running, connect a voltmeter to Gray wire at EGR solenoid. Set parking brake and start engine.
- Voltmeter should read less than 1 volt. This 1 volt reading should remain until engine has reached normal operating temperature and electronic EGR schedule has timed out.
- Solenoid will de-energize when EGR schedule has timed out. At this point voltage should read charging system voltage. If not, replace solenoid and repeat this test.
- If voltmeter indicates charging system voltage before EGR schedule is complete, replace computer or externally mounted timer.NOTE: Federal 5.2L 2-Bbl. engine has no coolant temperature thermal delay above 60°F (16°C) ambient temperature. It will follow EGR time delay schedule only.
- If engine is restarted while still at normal operating temperature, EGR solenoid will only be energized for length of time delay schedule. It will then de-energize.
