    -  If the operation sound is not heard, connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2 and verify that the DTC P0403 is shown. Perform DTC inspection. (See DTC TABLE [LF, L3].) See: A L L Diagnostic Trouble Codes ( DTC ) > Diagnostic Trouble Code Descriptions

 2. Start the engine and idle it.
 3. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature.
 4. Access the following PIDs:
    -  ECT, RPM, SEGRP_DSD, APP1, APP2, VSS

 5. Idle the vehicle and verify that the SEGRP value is 0.
 6. Put the vehicle in drive.
 7. Depress the accelerator pedal and verify that the SEGRP_DSD value is increased.
    -  If the EGR valve increases, inspect the following:
       -  EGR valve (stuck open or close)
       -  Wiring harness and connectors (Main relay - EGR valve - PCM)

    -  If the SEGRP_DSD value does not increase, inspect the VSS, APP1, APP2, TP and ECT PIDs. (See PCM INSPECTION [LF, L3].)
