An EGR fault means the exhaust gas recirculation system is not operating as expected. The message does not identify whether the valve, control or another engine system is responsible.
What does it mean?
An EGR fault means the exhaust gas recirculation system is not operating as expected. The message does not identify whether the valve, control or another engine system is responsible.
Symptoms to look for
Possible symptoms include hesitation, rough running, smoke, poor economy, an engine light, reduced power or limp mode.
Possible causes
Carbon build-up, a stuck valve, actuator, wiring, cooler, airflow issue or another engine fault can produce similar symptoms.
What diagnostics check
Diagnosis compares commanded and actual EGR position with airflow, boost, temperature and stored fault information.
What should happen next?
S7 Remaps can investigate common EGR faults and explain whether cleaning, repair, replacement or further testing is appropriate. Do not use a software change to hide an unresolved mechanical or emissions-system fault. A proper diagnosis should establish the cause before a solution is chosen.
