Exhaust Gas Recirculation: Service Precautions






Exhaust Gas Recirculation System

CAUTION!
When doing any repair work, especially in the engine compartment, pay attention to the following due to clearance issues:

Route lines of all types (e.g. for fuel, hydraulic, coolant and refrigerant, brake fluid, vacuum) and electrical wiring so that the original path is followed.

Ensure sufficient clearance to all moving or hot components.

The diesel Direct Fuel Injection (DFI) Engine Control Module (ECM) (J248) activates the mechanical EGR valve.

Every relevant valve position is possible via cyclic activation.

Replace self-locking nuts.
