The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system reduces emissions by recirculating a portion of exhaust gas back into the engine. OBD EGR diagnostics ensure the system operates efficiently, preventing engine knock, poor fuel economy, or emission failures.
Components Monitored
EGR valve operation
EGR flow sensors
EGR temperature sensors
ECU control signals
Common Issues Detected
EGR valve sticking
Faulty EGR sensors
Reduced exhaust recirculation
Increased emissions
Benefits
Maintains engine efficiency
Reduces harmful emissions
Prevents engine damage
Helps pass emission tests
Conclusion
OBD diagnostics ensure your EGR system operates effectively, safeguarding performance and emission compliance.
