* Check/Clean Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) System

* Check Wiring and/or Connector(s) from/to Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Valve
* Check / Replace EGR
 
* Check / Replace DPF-EGR
 
 
 
==== Special Notes ====
 
 
 
* The EGR system is monitored when driving at steady state and the EGR is commanded on. When the DPF-EGR sensor indicates that EGR flow is less then a desired minimum a dtc is set.
 
* N.B. mechanics with less knowledge do exchange the EGR often, but 75% sure the problem will be back (probably the DPF-EGR sensor causes the problem).
