- CHECK THE EGR COOLER AND TUBES FOR LEAKS OR RESTRICTIONS
- Turn the ignition off.
- Gain access to and inspect the EGR Cooler and both tubes that connect to the EGR Cooler. Check tubes and cooler for damage, leaks, excessive soot build up and other problems that could restrict or prevent proper exhaust gas flow.NOTE:
Compressed air (at low pressure) can be applied to the lower port of the EGR Cooler. When applying compressed air check for air to flow through cooler and out the upper port. Always wear safety glasses when working with compressed air.
Were any problems found?
Yes
- Clean or replace the EGR Cooler or tubes as necessary.
- Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to 3.0L, POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
No
