Electronic EGR Valve

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 532 other vehicles, including the 2018 Ford C-Max, 2017 Ford Fusion, 2017 Ford C-Max, 2016 Ford Fusion, and 2016 Ford C-Max. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Connect vacuum gauge to valve. Start engine. Apply 6-10 in. Hg to EGR valve and hold. Engine speed should drop at least 100 RPM or stall. Vacuum should not drop greater than 1 in. Hg in 30 seconds.
  2. Check vacuum lines for correct routing. Disconnect vacuum hose at EGR valve and connect vacuum gauge to hose. On 1.9L EFI, disconnect idle air by-pass valve. On all models, accelerate engine to 2000-2500 RPM and release throttle. Repeat 8-10 times and check for consistent response.
    NOTE: EGR Vent Solenoid (EGR-VSOL) allows a small amount of vacuum signal (less than 2.5 in. Hg) at idle.
  3. If vacuum reading is greater than zero with cold engine, EGR solenoid is leaking and should be replaced. With engine at normal operating temperature, vacuum should be greater than 15 in. Hg and return to zero when throttle is released. If EGR system operates as indicated, system is functioning correctly.
