3.2.111. SPN 27, FMI 13, EGR Valve mechanical faultΒΆ

Description

The EEM monitoring system has detected that the EGR Valve is mechanically defective.

Possible causes are:

  • The shaft between the EGR actuator and the valve is defective.
  • The valve is stuck.
  • The EGR actuator is defective.

Reaction in EEM

The FC is stored and the warning lamp is activated. The CAN message indicates active fault.

NOTE: The present fault is classified as an emission related fault. Engine power will be reduced after a certain time which is defined by an authority.

Solution

First save the error log and then erase it. Restart the ECU after erasing the error log. If the fault occurs again during the next driving cycle, check the following paths:

  • Check that the shaft between the actuator and the valve is in order. The shaft should be movable when the ignition and the ECU are shut OFF.
  • Check the operation with another EGR actuator.
