GENERAL DESCRIPTION FOR EXHAUST
GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR) SYSTEM
Linear EGR Valve
060R200237
Legend
(1) ECM
(2) Linear EGR Valve
(3) Throttle
(4) Exhaust Manifold
The exhaust gas re-circulation (EGR) system is used to
reduce emission levels of oxides of nitrogen (NOx).
NOx emission levels are caused by a high combustion
levels by decreasing the combustion temperature.
The EGR valve feeds small amount of exhaust gas
back into the combustion chamber. The fuel/air mixture
will be diluted and combustion temperatures reduced.
Linear EGR valve Operation and Results o
f
Incorrect Operation
The linear EGR valve is designed to accurately supply
EGR to the engine independent of intake manifold
vacuum. The valve controls EGR flow from the exhaus
t
to the intake manifold through an orifice with a ECM
controlled pintle. During operation, the ECM controls
pintle position by monitoring the pintle position feedback
signal.
The linear EGR valve is activated under the following
conditions:
No DTC relating to the EGR.
Engine speed is between 1200 and 4375rpm.
Engine coolant temperature is between 20 and
100.
Throttle position sensor output voltage is belo
w
3V.
Too mach EGR flow at idle, cruise or cold operation
may cause any of the following conditions to occur:
Engine stalls after a cold start.
Engine stalls at idle after deceleration.
Vehicle surges during cruise.
Rough idle.
Too little or no EGR flow may allow combustion
temperatures to get too high. This could cause:
Spark knock (detonation).
Emission test failure.
Poor fuel economy.
