Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1993 Mercedes-Benz 300E. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

EGR system is controlled by engine control module. The engine control module processes engine speed, air mass, and engine coolant temperature to control EGR. When closed throttle position contact is open and coolant temperature is more than 118°F (48°C), EGR switchover valve receives an activation signal from engine control module. See Figure .
