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.
EGR Monitor
EGR system DTC is stored in memory, and Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is illuminated after EGR system monitor detects a malfunction during 2 consecutive drive cycles. MIL is turned off after 3 consecutive trips, during which no malfunction is detected that would normally trigger a DTC. DTC is erased from memory after 40 warm-up cycles, during which no malfunction is detected. DTC can also be erased, by using Powertrain Control Module (PCM) reset function on NGS tester.
