Pontiac: Code 63

Code 63
Last week I got code 41, so I pulled the cam sensor out to see if the
magnet was shot, but couldn't see it through the hole in the timing
cover, so I put the cam sensor back in. Code 41 cleared.
Today I get code 63. SES Light was on for about 4 hours. The book that
came with the code scanner indicates code 63 to be
1. Manifold Absolute Pressure ( MAP ) sensor - signal voltage is high.
or
2. Small EGR failure,
or
3. Right Oxygen sensor failure ( dual sensor engines ),
or
4. Cruise Control system problem.
The Pontiac Service Manual says code 63 is EGR related. I see no mention
made anywhere in the book about a Manifold Absolute Pressure sensor (
MAP ) so I assume I don't have a MAP sensor on my car. I don't have dual
Oxygen sensors.
The EGR Valve is the original still.
Later I went for a drive. The car starts fine, runs, idles and
accelerates fine. I tried the Cruise Control and it set & held for the
short distance it was on around town driving under 45 mph.. The SES
Light went out after turning the cruise on & off a few times .
Tuesday, I had removed the turnsignal lever from the column to see how
it came out ( a poster inquired about how to remove one a few days ago
so I thought I'd try it on mine ).
I also disconnected the wires connected to the lever.
I wonder if code 63 setting had anything to do with my removing the
turnsignal lever, which houses the Cruise Control buttons?

Re: Code 63
Removing the lever shouldn't cause the SES light to come on. I've removed
and replaced mine on my 94 Grand Prix, and for shits and giggles, pulled it
from my 90 oldsmobile. Maybe one of the sensors for the Cruise is mucked up,
causing some funky readings. I know the cruise effects the throttle (via
cable and or vaccum) and is dependant on the Vechical speed sensor... But
that's all I know about that system. I do know, that removing the lever from
the steering column should NOT cause the problem you are having.

Re: Code 63
Going to test the EGR valve tomorrow. More than likely that is the
problem. I guess it got to give trouble sometime, afterall its been
working a looooong time.
