Due to moisture in exhaust system, EGR valve may sometimes freeze and stick in colder weather. Problem may disappear after vehicle is brought into a warm shop for repairs. By using scan tool and watching actual EGR and desired EGR positions on a cold engine, fault can be easily verified. Check FREEZE FRAME data to determine if DTC set when vehicle was cold by viewing ECT.
