EGR Temp Sensor Test Plug (1 Viewer)

[LC4LIFE]

So here in NJ they test for ECU readiness, mine shows not ready and it is throwing the P0401, so I cannot use this resistor and plug?

The test kit will give the ECM the value it needs to prevent the code and making it so you can clear the code, but the ECM will not achieve readiness if it wasn't at readiness prior to you installing the test plug. You have to give the ECM the drive cycle protocol along with no trouble code to achieve readiness.

Here is more reading on the readiness subject. EGR Readiness Achieved with EGR Removed!

600 miles post test plug install and all is well.

Look forward to deleting power robbing stuff of these soon to be 25 year old beasts of burden!

Right here, right now -- HuddExpo Land Cruiser

Just make sure you pick OBDI or OBDII as 94 could be either depending on how late in 94 it was built.

Thanks,

i deleted the PAIR and EGR on my 94, idles quieter and smoother,i wish i would have recorded the difference,going to go back and get another emissions test to see if anything changed.

So I install the plug which clears the code for me or do I use my code scanner? After that I just drive it so the ECU achieves readiness?

Either way. It should clear the code after some drive cycles too.

Thanks gonna buy the kit now

I ordered mine Friday, arrived today, thank you sir! Can't wait to get this in so that I can take the black tape off my cluster covering the always illuminated CEL

 

[Lopott]

what sizes are the ball bearings for hose block off?

 

[RS6tofj80]

worked perfectly ! the light went off after 3 cycles of start/ off..... I did just the relay and the plug for now.

thanks !

I used BB’s for the smaller vac lines and a 7mm for the larger line below the egr modulator. The 7mm was from some slingshot ammo found at a local sporting goods store.

I assume you have extras for when i drop mine off

Ordered 2 kits for stock. Thanks for a very nicely thought-out product.

Just loop the hoses together and add vacuum caps where needed. No need to add BB's or bearings.

True, unless you prefer a more stock-ish appearance.

more stock-ish appearance.

^^This^^ Definitely what I prefer

So I received the test kit and installed it. I have been driving it only for a couple of days but the CEL is still on and have a P0401 code. SHould I just keep driving it and wait longer? Also the allen plug even with teflon tape was extremely loose so I just screwed the sensor back in to plug the hole. Should I keep driving it until the CEL goes off or clear the code with my scanner tool? I have until end of February here in NJ to get it working or they will suspend the registration on the truck. Thanks.

There might be some wiring between there and the ECU that has a problem, but start by testing the plug. I haven’t had a bad one yet, but with an ohm meter you should be getting 4.7k ohm through the plug.

PM sent too.

So a few months back I ordered just the plug. Been working great. When @LC4LIFE started offering a full delete kit I sent a PM and wanted to purchase the plugs and directions for a full delete. He sent them to me at no charge! Great kit and great service. Thanks!
