Component Details:
An incomplete burnt gas in exhaust is return to the cylinder. EGR works by recalculating a portion of an engine's
exhaust gas back to the engine cylinder. Intermixing the incoming air with recalculated exhaust gas dilutes the mix with
inert gas and in turn reduce the combustion temperatures for reducing NOx emissions.
Preliminary Checks:
1. Check whether the customer voice / view about the issue is matching with the fault effects mentioned in above
Table. If yes, go ahead with next steps. If not, check for other DTC’s presence.
2. Check whether other customers report similar complaints earlier. If yes, perform the preliminary checks with
respect to earlier issue closure.\
3. Check for damage of pins at ECU connector.
4. Check the wiring harness connections between the EGR position sensor and EMS ECU.
