Electric Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EEGR) Valve
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 31 other vehicles, including the 2017 Lincoln Navigator, 2017 Lincoln MKZ, 2017 Lincoln MKX, 2017 Lincoln MKT, and 2017 Lincoln MKC. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Depending on the application, the EEGR valve is either a water cooled or an air cooled motor/valve assembly. The motor is commanded to move in 52 discrete steps as it acts directly on the EEGR valve. The position of the valve determines the rate of EGR. The built-in spring works to close the valve against the motor opening force.
