EGR System







EGR System

Activation of the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system occurs from the engine control module (J623) and the engine control module 2 (J624) via the EGR potentiometer (G212) and the Exhaust gas recirculation position sensor 2 (G466).

The components illustrated here are for cylinder bank 2. They are a mirror image of the components for cylinder bank 1.

15 Intake Connection with Intake Flap Motor

Cylinder bank 1:

Intake flap motor (V157).

Cylinder bank 2:

Intake flap motor 2 (V275).

16 EGR Vacuum Regulator Solenoid Valve with EGR Potentiometer

Cylinder bank 1:

EGR vacuum regulator solenoid valve (N18) (electro-pneumatic) with EGR potentiometer (G212).

Cylinder bank 2:

Valve 2 for EGR (N213) (electro-pneumatic) with exhaust gas recirculation position sensor 2 (G466).

If the EGR vacuum regulator solenoid valve is replaced with the EGR potentiometer, you must then:

- Turn the ignition on and off.

- Then wait for one minute for the control module after-run.

- Start the engine and let it run at idle for at least 1 minute.

- Then, check the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) memory of the Engine Control Module (ECM). Refer to => [ Engine Control Module DTC Memory, Checking and Erasing ] Scan Tool Testing and Procedures.

If a fault is stored in the DTC memory:

- Repeat the work procedure.
