Checked the EGR Valve and found no leaks and no restrictions and it works. Checked the modulating Solenoid, found it sticking and replaced it. Vac lines also checked OK. Where do I go from here? How do I troubleshoot? Truck runs fine except for the light but I have an emissions inspection to pass by years' end.

Where would I find the "A PCED" troubleshooting info for this problem? (Someone provided this data for an evap canister problem.)

your.mechanic, December 05, 2012, 08:49MasterLarry...when I said EGR passages, I meant the passages on the intake manifold...not the valve itself....anyway, there is no A PCED whatever and you don't need an EVAP diagnosis.

larry_too, December 05, 2012, 10:05ReplyRookieThanks, that must have been just a location of a page. The evap was a different code, fixed with solenoid, I think.
Is there a way to check the EGR flow sensor with a voltmeter? I noticed the three leads (ref, ground, signal) that could be metered, but what values should I see?
