Procedures
Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Valve - Removal




- Use a diagnostic scan tool to record any DTC's (Diagnostic Trouble Codes).
- Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable. An exhaust gas routing tube (1) connects the EGR valve (4) to the intake manifold.
- Remove two tube mounting bolts (2).
- Remove tube (1) from solenoid (4). Slip opposite end of tube (6) from intake manifold.
- Remove gasket (3) located between EGR valve solenoid and tube flange.
- Disconnect electrical connector (3) at solenoid (1).
- Remove two EGR valve solenoid mounting bolts (2).
- Remove solenoid (1) from engine.
- Remove and discard gasket (1) located under EGR solenoid.
Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Valve - Installation




- Clean gasket area (1) at rear of left cylinder head where it joins base of EGR valve.
- Clean EGR tube where it joins EGR valve.
- Position new gasket between EGR valve and cylinder head.
- Position EGR valve to cylinder head. Install and tighten two bolts (2). Tighten to 9 Nm (80 in. lbs.).
- Position new gasket (3) between EGR tube flange and EGR valve assembly.
- Position EGR tube (1) to side of EGR valve. Position end of tube (6) into intake manifold. Install two bolts (2). Tighten to 11 Nm (97 in. lbs.).
- Connect electrical connector (3) to top of EGR valve solenoid (1).
- Connect negative battery cable.
- Using a diagnostic scan tool, erase any previously recorded DTC's (Diagnostic Trouble Codes).
