25 - 26 EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION
VALVE
DESCRIPTION
The EGR Valve consists of three major components:
• EGR Valve
• EGR Solenoid
• EGR Tube
The EGR Valve (3) is located at the right rear of the
engine and is attached to the right cylinder head, to
the right of the Throttle Body (4). The EGR Solenoid
(2) is attached to the EGR Valve (3) on the throttle
body side of the valve. The EGR Tube (1) connects
the EGR Valve (3) to the rear of the Intake Manifold
(5).
OPERATION
The Exhaust Gas Recirculation flow is determined by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). For a given set of
conditions, the PCM calculates the ideal exhaust gas recirculation flow to minimize NOx emissions and maximize
fuel economy by adjusting the pintle position. Pintle position is controlled by the EGR Solenoid. The PCM adjusts
the duty cycle of the power supplied to the solenoid coil to obtain the correct position.
REMOVAL
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Remove the air cleaner housing.
3. Disconnect the solenoid harness connector (1).
4. Disconnect the solenoid to valve vacuum line (2).
