ISSUE
Some 2011 F-Super Duty vehicles equipped with a 6.7L diesel engine may exhibit an exhaust leak at the EGR inlet pipe flex joint possibly accompanied
by a malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) and diagnostic trouble code (DTC) P0299 or P132B. This concern is caused by a crack in the flex joint which
typically results from a loose fastener between the pipe support bracket and the EGR cooler. Exhaust leaks may cause DTCs P0299 and/or P132B. In
addition, leaks can result in higher under hood temperatures and may lead to potential damage of the EGR bypass vacuum actuator, EGR bypass vacuum
line, RH windshield washer hose, washer nozzle or engine air induction duct.
ACTION
Follow the Service procedure steps to correct the condition.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
1. With the engine off, inspect the EGR inlet pipe for soot deposits in and around the braided mesh at the flex joint.
a. If soot deposits are present, proceed to Step 3.
b. If no soot deposits are present, proceed to Step 2.
2.
Using EngineEar J5P06608-D located in the Rotunda Technician Tool Program, or equivalent, and with the engine running, listen for an audible
exhaust leak at the EGR inlet pipe flex joint and/or sealing gasket areas.
a. If a leak is evident at the EGR inlet pipe flex joint or sealing gasket areas, proceed to Step 3.
b. If no leak is evident at the EGR inlet pipe flex joint or sealing gasket areas, do not continue with this article.
3.
Replace the EGR valve inlet tube.
a. Remove the six (6) bolts and the EGR valve inlet tube.
b. Discard the two (2) EGR valve inlet tube gaskets, EGR inlet tube and the one (1) bracket fastener. (Location A - Figure 1)
c. Install a new EGR inlet pipe and gaskets, tube support bracket and six (6) bolts.
d. Reuse five (5) bolts and install one (1) new fastener. (Location A - Figure 1)
