how it works:
Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR)
Pressure Sensor/Solenoid
The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system is designed to reduce emissions by recirculating exhaust gases into the engine. The EGR pressure sensor/solenoid works with the EGR valve to regulate pressure level within the EGR system. Then the EGR sensor/solenoid detects an unfavorable change in pressure, it communicates with the EGR valve to open or close to regulate pressure. A faulty EGR pressure sensor/solenoid can send false readings to the EGR system which can lead to rough idling, engine hesitations, decreased power, and decreased fuel efficiency.
Signs of a faulty EGR Pressure Sensor/Solenoid:
Signs of a faulty EGR Pressure Sensor/Solenoid:
- Check engine light
- Rough idle
- Engine stalling
- Decrease in engine power
- Decrease in fuel efficiency
