Exhaust Gas Recirculation Valve Control and Valve Position Sensor


Exhaust Gas Recirculation Valve Control And Valve Position Sensor:






The Exhaust Gas Recirculation Valve Control controls the amount of exhaust gases recirculated back to the intake. It is a proportional solenoid with a built-in position sensor. The Valve Position Sensor is needed to give the control circuit feedback to achieve desired travel position. The Exhaust Gas Recirculation Valve Position Sensor is a variable resistance pintle position sensor that makes position measurements of the exhaust gas recirculation valve control actuator.
