This diagnosis is typically short to ground.
Section 98.2.1
Short Circuit Check
Check as follows:
- Disconnect EGR valve connector. See Figure
"EGR Valve"
.

Figure 1. EGR Valve
- Disconnect 120–pin MCM connector.
- Measure the resistance between pin 1 of the EGR valve connector and ground.
- If the resistance is less than 5 Ω, repair the short circuit between pin 1 of the EGR valve connector and ground. Refer to "98.2.2.1 Verify Repairs" .
- If the resistance is greater than 5 Ω, go to step 4 .
- Measure the resistance between pin 2 of the EGR valve connector and ground.
- If the resistance is less than 5 Ω, repair the short circuit between pin 2 of the EGR valve connector and ground. Refer to "98.2.2.1 Verify Repairs" .
- If the resistance is greater than 5 Ω, Refer to "98.2.2.1 Verify Repairs" .
Section 98.2.2
Resistance and Voltage Check
The resistance and voltage check performed indicate that you should not be getting a code. The following is a recheck before requesting a new MCM.
- Reconnect all connectors.
- Turn the vehicle ignition ON (key ON, engine OFF), and clear codes.
- Disconnect EGR valve connector.
- Disconnect 120–pin MCM connector.
- Measure the resistance between pin 1 of the EGR valve connector and ground.
- If the resistance is less than 5 Ω, repair the short circuit between pin 1 of the EGR valve connector and ground. Refer to "98.2.2.1 Verify Repairs" .
- If the resistance is greater than 5 Ω, go to step 6 .
- Measure the resistance between pin 2 of the EGR valve connector and ground.
- If the resistance is less than 5 Ω, repair the short circuit between pin 2 of the EGR valve connector and ground. Refer to "98.2.2.1 Verify Repairs" .
- If the resistance is greater than 5 Ω, call the Detroit Diesel Customer Support Center (313–592–5800) for authorization to replace the MCM.
Section 98.2.2.1
Verify Repairs
Verify repairs as follows:
- Turn ignition OFF.
- Reconnect any electrical connections that were disconnected to perform the diagnosis.
- Clear codes with DDDL 7.0 or latest version.
- Start and bring engine up to operating temperature (over 140°F/60°C).
- Verify operation is satisfactory and no warning lamps illuminate. If warning lamps illuminate, troubleshoot the codes. If assistance is required, call the Detroit Diesel Customer Support Center at 313–592–5800.
