LESSON 2: THEORY AND OPERATION
EGR Valve
EGR Valve
The EGR valve is controlled by the PCM at all times.
•
The EGR valve, located at the front of the engine, opens when exhaust pressures are higher than intake
manifold pressures (boost).
•
The EGR valve contains two valves, connected by a common shaft, that open and close in tandem.
•
The EGR valve may open at any time. The amount of flow is variable depending on rpm, load, exhaust pressure
and valve position.
– The EGR is partially open at idle to reduce engine noise.
