I changed the KS today, and now the KS code is gone. (Good)

The bad...another one has come (first time seeing this code).. 10 05. So from the ECU thread, it says:
1005 is EGRC Solenoid valve

The majority of my information about Diagnostic Trouble Codes comes from my '99 Maxima factory service manual. Unfortunately, DTC 1005 is not in that book. Starting in '99 the Maxima engine uses a step-motor type of EGR valve and with that change, the DTCs changed.
The Chilton and Haynes manuals provide a little information about the EGR Solenoid Valve.
The test procedure for this part is found in the Chilton repair manual (page 4-11) and the Haynes repair manual (page 6-20). Test the valve and replace if necessary.

This malfunction is not an emergency but should be resolved fairly soon (7-10 days). An inoperative EGR valve may result in engine pinging and a variety of driveability complaints.

Can anyone give me the information from the Chilton or Haynes repair manual? Thanks.

lol, for a minute I thought you may have done what i did - I somehow broke mine while changing the ks; I guess from squeezing my hand in there. It didn't appear physically damaged, so I thought i may have damaged the harness. but changing the harness didn't clear the light. Didn't go away until i bought a new solenoid from the dealer. Talk about on my part!
