Question
How to diagnose faulty automotive emission system exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) cooler?
Answer
Check for coolant contamination in exhaust and test cooler efficiency.
Explain
A faulty EGR cooler leaks coolant into the exhaust. CHEPQ exhaust gas analyzers detect coolant vapor (increased H2O levels) and test cooler efficiency (50%+ heat transfer)—replacing the cooler prevents engine overheating and emissions increase.
