EGR Valve: Description and Operation
EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR) VALVE CONTROL AND VALVE POSITION SENSOR
Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Valve Control And Valve Position Sensor
The EGR valve controls the amount of exhaust gases recirculated back to the intake. It is a proportional solenoid with a built-in position sensor. The
valve position sensor is needed to give the control circuit feedback to achieve the desired travel position. The valve position sensor is a variable
resistance pintle position sensor that makes position measurements of the exhaust gas recirculation valve control actuator. Input signals from the
manifold absolute pressure (MAP), exhaust pressure (EP), and barometric pressure (BARO) sensors are used by the PCM to calculate and control the
EGR system flow.
