What happens if your EGR sensor is bad?
If the EGR pressure sensor sends any false reading to the computer it can cause the EGR system to malfunction. A malfunctioning EGR system can lead to engine performance issues such as rough idle, engine hesitation, and a decrease in overall power and fuel efficiency. 2. Failed emissions test
What should the gauge be for the EGR valve?
The gauge should climb up to 5-10 in.hg once or twice during the KOER test. This is because the computer commands the EVR on so the EGR valve will open and then the computer looks for a voltage change on the DPFE sensor. This is how the computer checks operation of this sensor.
How does the EGR system work in a car?
Some manufacturers use the oxygen sensor to monitor the oxygen (air fuel) ratio in the exhaust as the engine is running. The computer will watch the o2 sensor signal as it commands the EGR valve open. If it does not see the right change in the o2 sensor signal,…
Is there a diagnostic code for insufficient EGR flow detected?
The correct definition for this diagnostic trouble code P0401 is “Insufficient EGR Flow Detected“. YES.. your EGR valve could be bad causing this code. But chances are there is going to be something more causing your computer to flag this p0401 code.

Where is the temperature sensor in the EGR system?
The EGR temperature sensor is an engine management sensor that is part of the EGR system. It works together with the EGR solenoid to control the flow of the EGR system. The sensor is installed in between the exhaust and intake manifold, and monitors the temperature of the exhaust gases.
