EGR light is on constantly


Recommended Posts

I am sure this has probably been addressed before, but I can't seem to find anything on it.  When I purchased my 86 brat, the EGR valve had just been replaced, and indeed looks brand new.  The guy I bought it from said he thought there was some kind of procedure you had to do to get the light in the console to go out...Is this true?  If so, does anyone know what that procedure is?

 

Thanks in advance...

There is a procedure. It involves connecting two normally open wires under the drivers dash for a few seconds. I don't exactly remember what color the wires are. I think they are white. This was one of the first things I did to my brat, as well. I'll dig into my fsm when I get home if someone doesn't beat me to the punch.

I tried to find them in my FSM.  No luck.  Only that they are there, and the procedure.  It's been way too long for me to remember.  But there was a set of single circuit connectors - 1 pin Male, 1 Female.  And a second set.  The mating sets are the same color.  When you find them, one set will be mated, and the other not.  I think the 4 wires came out of the harness together, so that's a hint.  You have to remove the plastic under dash cover.  [i always ended up removing them, and never putting them back on] The connectors were somewhere near the fuse block.  Not too far up under the dash.
