Question

Why do EGR position sensors fail in stop-start diesel engines?

Answer

Frequent valve cycling and carbon buildup damage sensor internals.

Explain

Stop-start engines cycle EGR valves more often. CHEPQ tools test sensor resistance and clean carbon deposits—replacing the sensor extends life and maintains emissions compliance.
