Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Cooler: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Ford Pickup, 2012 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2012 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2012 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The EGR cooler removes heat from the exhaust gases before the gases enter the intake manifold. The EGR cooler is located above the right hand valve cover. When the exhaust gases are directed through the EGR cooler, coolant from the secondary cooling system reduces the exhaust gas temperature. The exhaust gases are directed through the EGR cooler by a PCM controlled EGR cooler bypass valve.
