MECHANISM
5. Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system
5.4 Control of EGR system
<System control diagram> / System schematics
(1) EGR valve
(2) Engine ECU
(3) Coolant temperature sensor
(4) Air flow sensor
The engine ECU (2) controls the amount the EGR
valve (1) is open based on the coolant temperature
sensor (3) and air flow sensor (4) etc. values.
The EGR valve (1) is wide open at coolant
temperatures lower than 65 ℃ (149 ℉) and starts to
close at coolant temperatures of 65 ℃ (149 ℉)and
higher.
When a DTC is occurred, one system action is to force
closure of the EGR valve (1).
5.5 EGR cooler
5.5.1 Outline of EGR cooler
The EGR cooler cools the exhaust gas.
This suppresses generation of nitrogen oxides (NOx)
by reducing combustion temperature.
5.5.2 Structure of EGR cooler
The EGR cooler is made up of the cooler and tubes.

(A) Exhaust gas inlet
(B) Exhaust gas outlet

(5) Others
(A) Opening instruction
(B) Valve position sensor value
(a) Coolant inlet
(b) Coolant outlet
5.5.3 Function of EGR cooler
The EGR cooler cools the exhaust gas.
Exhaust gas passes through narrow tubes provided in
the cooler and cools the area around these with engine
coolant to lower the temperature of the exhaust gas.
This enables preventing rise in intake air temperature.
As a result, this suppresses generation of nitrogen
oxides by reducing combustion temperature.
