The 2.5L diesel Engine Control Module (ECM) and
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitor and control many different circuits in the fuel injection pump
and engine systems. If the ECM senses a problem
with a monitored circuit that indicates an actual
problem, a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be
stored in the PCM’s memory, and eventually may
illuminate the Check Engine Lamp constantly while
the key is on. If the problem is repaired, or is intermittent, the ECM will erase the DTC after 40
warm-up cycles without the the fault detected. A
warm-up cycle consists of starting the vehicle when
the engine is cold, then the engine is warmed up to a
certain temperature, and finally, the engine temperature falls to a normal operating temperature, then
the key is turned off.
Certain criteria must be met for a DTC to be
entered into ECM memory. The criteria may be a
specific range of engine rpm, engine or fuel temperature and/or input voltage to the ECM. A DTC indicates that the ECM has identified an abnormal
signal in a circuit or the system. A DTC may indicate
the result of a failure, but never identify the failed
component directly.

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES ..............2
There are several operating conditions that the
ECM does not monitor and set a DTC for. Refer to
the following Monitored Circuits and Non–Monitored
Circuits in this section.
ECM MONITORED SYSTEMS
The ECM can detect certain problems in the electrical system.
Open or Shorted Circuit – The ECM will not
distinguish between an open or a short to ground,
however the ECM can determine if the circuit is
shorted to voltage.
Output Device Current Flow – The ECM senses
whether the output devices are electrically connected.
If there is a problem with the circuit, the ECM
senses whether the circuit is open, shorted to ground
(–), or shorted to (+) voltage.
ECM NON–MONITORED SYSTEMS
The ECM does not monitor the following circuits,
systems or conditions that could have malfunctions
that result in driveability problems. A DTC will not
be displayed for these conditions.
Fuel Pressure: Fuel pressure is controlled by the
fuel injection pump. The ECM cannot detect fuel
pressure problems in this component. The ECM does
a comparison analysis of fuel quantity, fuel timing,
fuel temperature, and control sleeve sensor inputs to
determine if a fuel problem exists.
Cylinder Compression: The ECM cannot detect
uneven, low, or high engine cylinder compression.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION (Continued)
Exhaust System: The ECM cannot detect a
plugged, restricted or leaking exhaust system.
Fuel Injector Malfunctions: The ECM cannot
determine if the fuel injector is clogged, or the wrong
injector is installed. The fuel injectors on the diesel
engine are not controlled by the ECM, although a
defective needle movement sensor in the #1 injector
is monitored by the ECM.
Vacuum Assist: Leaks or restrictions in the vac-
uum circuits of the Exhaust Gas Recirculation System (EGR) are not monitored by the ECM.
ECM System Ground: The ECM cannot determine a poor system ground. However, a DTC may be
generated as a result of this condition.
ECM/PCM Connector Engagement: The ECM
cannot determine spread or damaged connector pins.
However, a DTC may be generated as a result of this
condition.

HIGH AND LOW LIMITS
The ECM compares input signals from each input
device. It has high and low limits that are programmed into it for that device. If the inputs are not
within specifications and other DTC criteria are met,
a DTC will be stored in memory. Other DTC criteria
might include engine rpm limits or input voltages
from other sensors or switches. The other inputs
might have to be sensed by the ECM when it senses
a high or low input voltage from the control system
device in question.
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
DESCRIPTION
On the following pages, a list of DTC’s is provided
for the 2.5L diesel engine. A DTC indicates that the
ECM has recognized an abnormal signal in a circuit
or the system. A DTC may indicate the result of a
failure, but most likely will not identify the failed
component directly.
ACCESSING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
A stored DTC can be displayed through the use of
the DRB IIIt scan tool. The DRB IIIt connects to the
data link connector. The data link connector is
located under the instrument panel near bottom of
the steering column (Fig. 1) (Fig. 2).

ERASING TROUBLE CODES
After the problem has been repaired, use the DRB
IIIt scan tool to erase a DTC.

EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR)
SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
The EGR system reduces oxides of nitrogen (NOx)
in the engine exhaust. This is accomplished by allowing a predetermined amount of hot exhaust gas to
recirculate and dilute the incoming fuel/air mixture.
A malfunctioning EGR system can cause engine
stumble, sags or hesitation, rough idle, engine stalling and poor driveability.
OPERATION
The system consists of:
• An EGR valve assembly. The valve is located on
the side of the intake manifold.
• An Electric Vacuum Modulator (EVM). The EVM
is sometimes referred to as the EGR control solenoid
or EGR duty cycle solenoid. The EVM controls the
“on time” of the EGR valve.
• The ECM operates the EVM. The ECM is
located inside the vehicle under the instrument
panel.
• An EGR tube connects a passage in the EGR
valve to the rear of the exhaust manifold.
• The vacuum pump supplies vacuum for the
EVM and the EGR valve. This pump also supplies
vacuum for operation of the power brake boosterb
and the heating and air conditioning system. The
pump is located internally in the front of the engine
block (Fig. 2) and is driven by the crankshaft gear.
• Vacuum lines and hoses connect the various
components.
When the ECM supplies a variable ground signal
to the EVM, EGR system operation starts to occur.
The ECM will monitor and determine when to supply
and remove this variable ground signal. This will
depend on inputs from the engine coolant temperature, throttle position and engine speed sensors.

Fig. 2 Internal Vacuum Pump
1 – INTERNAL VACUUM PUMP AND DRIVE GEAR
When the variable ground signal is supplied to the
EVM, vacuum from the vacuum pump will be
allowed to pass through the EVM and on to the EGR
valve with a connecting hose.
Exhaust gas recirculation will begin in this order
when:
• The ECM determines that EGR system opera-
tion is necessary.
• The engine is running to operate the vacuum
pump.
• A variable ground signal is supplied to the EVM.
• Variable vacuum passes through the EVM to the
EGR valve.
• The inlet seat (poppet valve) at the bottom of
the EGR valve opens to dilute and recirculate
exhaust gas back into the intake manifold.
The EGR system will be shut down by the ECM
after 60 seconds of continuous engine idling to
improve idle quality.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
EGR GAS FLOW TEST
Refer to the 2000 XJ Diesel Powertrain Diagnostic
Manual for complete test procedure.
INSTALLATION
(1) Clean the intake manifold of any old gasket
material.
(2) Clean the end of EGR tube of any old gasket
material.
(3) Position the EGR valve and new gasket to the
intake manifold elbow.
(4) Install two EGR valve mounting bolts. Do not
tighten bolts at this time.
(5) Position new gasket between EGR valve and
EGR tube.
(6) Install two EGR tube bolts. Tighten all four
mounting bolts to 23 N·m (204 in. lbs.).
(7) Tighten EGR tube fitting at exhaust manifold.
(8) Connect vacuum line to EGR valve.
EGR TUBE
The EGR tube connects the EGR valve to the rear
of the exhaust manifold.
REMOVAL
(1) Remove two EGR tube mounting bolts at EGR
valve end of tube.
(2) Loosen fitting at exhaust manifold end of tube.
(3) Remove EGR tube and discard old gasket.
(4) Clean gasket mating surfaces and EGR tube
flange gasket surfaces.

at both ends of tube, exhaust manifold and EGR
valve.
EGR SOLENOID TEST
VACUUM TEST
With the engine running, disconnect the vacuum
supply line at the fitting on the Electric Vacuum
Modulator (EVM). Vacuum should be no less than 20
inches. If vacuum is lower, check for leaks in vacuum
supply line. If leaks cannot be found, check for low
vacuum at vacuum pump.

tube.
(2) Position EGR tube to engine.
(3) Loosely tighten fitting at exhaust manifold end
of tube.
(4) Install 2 mounting bolts at EGR valve end of
tube. Tighten bolts to 23 N·m (204 in. lbs.) torque.
(5) Tighten fitting at exhaust manifold end of tube.
