What does it mean?

EGR fault codes point to a control, position, flow or circuit condition that requires interpretation in the context of the engine.

Symptoms to look for

Codes may appear with rough running, hesitation, smoke, warning lights or limp mode.

Possible causes

Sticking, carbon, wiring, actuator, airflow and boost faults can all influence EGR code setting.

What diagnostics check

A technician reviews code conditions, live position, airflow, boost and engine temperature before replacing the valve.
