Intermittent opening and closing of Exhaust Brake Valve

I need to wiring diagram ecu pinout for fuso super great to engine 6m70t3

this is an exhaust brake truck where the brake is in the exhaust manifold
the brake valve is actuated through a solenoid that controls the air pressure to the valve cylinder or the electric solenoid for the valve
it is operated either by the driver through a switch on the steering column or by a switch at the accelerator pedal where when the exhaust brake is switched on then with the accelerator pedal in the idle position it activates the actuator
there the problem will be in the switch at the base of the accelerator pedal, the switch in the dash or in the actuator itself

have the exhaust brake tappets adjusted
you haven't mentioned engine size or type so I am talking about jacob brake or dynatard brake
it is possible that when the engine oil viscosity is heavy that the clearance is nit enough
take it in to a service center for as better diagnosis

It's the Exhaust Gas Recirculation system.

A motorised valve in the exhaust system opens & closes when required to allow some exhaust gas back into the inlet so it' goes back through the engine - any remaining fuel is burnt & emissions are reduced.

These can be prone to fouling with carbon & residue which causes reduced valve movement or complete jamming - it can be intermittent & can result in a variety of issues, poor starting, rough idle, cutting out, lack of power........

It depends on which TDC you are talking about, compression TDC or exhaust TDC. On the compression stroke, no valves will open after TDC-this is when combustion has occured, the power stroke. When the piston reaches bottom and starts up on the exhaust stroke, then exhaust valve will open. At TDC of exhaust stroke, exhaust valve will be closed, and the intake valve will then open as piston is moving down.
If you have the intake valve opening right after TDC, you are on the exhaust stroke of that cylinder. The exhaust valve is only open during upward movement of the piston on the exhaust stroke. Immediately after TDC of exhaust stroke, the intake will open as the piston travels downward.

P0404 - Exhaust Gas Recirculation Circuit Range/Performance OBD-II Trouble Code Technical Description

Exhaust Gas Recirculation Circuit Range/Performance
What does that mean?

The EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) system's purpose is to redirect exhaust gas back into the cylinders. Since exhaust gas is inert, it displaces oxygen and fuel, thereby lowering cylinder temps, which, in turn, lowers oxides of nitrogen emissions. For that reason it needs to be carefully metered into the cylinders (via the EGR valve) so as not to adversely affect the engine's performance. (Too much EGR and the engine won't idle).

If you have a P0404, then the EGR valve is likely an electrically controlled EGR valve instead of a vacuum controlled EGR valve. Also, the valve will usually have a feedback system built into it that informs the PCM (Powertrain Control Module) what position the valve is in; open, closed, or somewhere in between. The PCM needs to know this to determine whether or not the valve is operating as needed. If the PCM determines that the valve should be operating, but the feedback circuit shows that the valve is not open, this code will set. Or if the PCM determines the valve should be closed but the feedback signal indicates that the valve is open, this code will set.
Symptoms

There may be no symptoms of a P0404 DTC other than the MIL (malfunction indicator lamp) or check engine light. However, Exhaust Gas Recirculation systems are inherently problematic due to carbon buildup in the intake manifold, etc. This normal buildup can lodge in an EGR valve, holding it open when it should be closed. If this is the case, the engine may idle rough, or not at all. If the valve has failed and is NOT opening, then symptoms would be higher combustion temps and as a result, higher Nox emissions. But the latter symptoms aren't going to be noticeable to a driver.
Causes

Usually this code points to either carbon buildup or a bad EGR valve. However that doesn't rule out the following:

• Open or short in the 5 Volt reference circuit
• Open or short in the ground circuit
• Open or short in the PCM controlled voltage circuit
• Bad PCM (less likely)

Possible Solutions

1. Using a scan tool command the EGR valve to open while watching the actual EGR position (it will probably be labeled "desired EGR" or something similar). The actual EGR position should be very close to the "desired" EGR position. If it is, then the problem is likely intermittent. It may have been a lodged piece of carbon that has since dislodged, or it could be a bad EGR valve winding that intermittently opens or shorts as the valve temperature changes.
2. If the EGR "desired" position is not close to the "actual" position, then unplug the EGR sensor. Check for a good 5 Volt reference voltage to the connector. If it doesn't show a reference voltage, repair an open or short in the 5 Volt reference circuit.
3. If there is a 5 volt reference voltage, activate the EGR with the scanner, monitor the EGR ground circuit with a DVOM (Digital Volt/Ohm meter). It should indicate a good ground. If it doesn't then repair the ground circuit.
4. If there is a good ground, then check the control circuit. It should indicate voltage that varies according to the percentage that the EGR is open. As it's open more, the voltage should increase accordingly. If it does, then replace the EGR valve.
5. If the voltage doesn't increase incrementally, then repair open or short in EGR control circuit.

Hope this helps (remember to rate and comment this answer).

The valves for any given cylinder will be closed when that particular cylinder is at TDC and on the "firing" cycle. Since 4 cycle engines have four "cycles" the piston can be at TDC twice. Once for firing and once when the exhaust cycle is completed and the intake cycle is starting.

Cycle 1: Intake valve is open and piston is travelling DOWN. (Intake)
Cycle 2: Both valves are closed and the piston is travelling UP (compression)
Cycle 3: Fuel has been ignited and the piston is travelling DOWN ( power)
Cycle 4: Exhaust valve is open and the piston is travelling UP (exhaust)

TDC is Top Dead Center, or the point that the piston is at the top of it's travel.
