Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Circuit/System Description
The offset of the EGR valve is checked after the offset learning has been completed in after-run/post drive. The difference between the maximum and minimum EGR valve offset values is calculated by the Engine Control Module (ECM). If the difference is above a calibrated threshold or the offset learned value is not within a calibrated range, a fault is recognized. While the offset learning is active, the EGR valve is checked for a jammed valve. If the valve is stuck during opening or closing for a calibrated time, a fault is reported. If either of these conditions occur, the DTC will be set.
