EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION
GENERAL INFORMATION
The exhaust gas recirculation (EG system lowers
the nitrogen oxide
emission level. When the
air/fuel mixture combustion temperature is high,
a large quantity of nitrogen oxides is gener-
ated in the combustion Therefore, this
system recirculates part of emission gas from the
exhaust port of the cylinder head to the combustion
OPERATION
When the engine coolant is low, when
the engine is at idle or when a wide open throttle
operation is performed, the EGR valve is kept
closed, achieving no EGR.
The manifold differential pressure sensor is locate d
in the intake manifold plenum. This sensor detects
variations in the manifold pressure when
the EGR solenoid is momentarily operated. If the
manifold negative pressure the EGR sys-
tem is normal.

In normal vehicle operation performed after warm-
ing up of the engine, the EGR valve is opened
to carry out EGR.
The ECM uses this to check the operation of the, EGR system. If a problem is found, the check en-’
