P042E-EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION CONTROL STUCK OPEN

For a complete wiring diagram Refer to Diagrams/Electrical.

Theory of Operation


During regeneration of the aftertreatment diesel particulate filter the EGR valve is commanded to be in the closed position. If the EGR valve is not closed then a temperature rise will occur at the EGR valve orifice. The ECM monitors the orifice temperature of the EGR valve and will set the fault if the temperature is above a calibrated threshold maximum value. The ECM will illuminate the MIL light immediately after the diagnostic runs and passes in four consecutive drive cycles.

- When Monitored:
This diagnostic runs when the vehicle speed is greater than 20 MPH and during a regeneration of the aftertreatment diesel particulate filter.

- Set Condition:
The ECM
