EGR Valve - Removal

2.7L





WARNING: The normal operating temperature of the exhaust gas recirculate (EGR) valve and tube is very high. Therefore, never work around or attempt to service any engine component until it is completely cooled.

NOTE: It is very important to disconnect the battery due to the addresses (cells) within the engine controller that store learned values related to powertrain operation. A malfunctioning EGR system can cause bad values to be stored in these cells that can cause an erroneous fault to occur after the system is repaired. Disconnecting the battery for at least two minutes will remove all power from the controller and reset these cells to normal default values.

1. EGR system components and location. Upper tube (2), EGR valve (1), and Lower tube (3).
2. Disconnect negative battery cable.
3. Unlock and disconnect the electrical connector from EGR valve.




4. Remove the bolts from the EGR tube to exhaust manifold.
5. Remove the lower tube bolts to EGR valve and remove tube (3).
6. Remove upper tube bolts to EGR valve (2).
7. Remove the EGR valve mounting bolts (1).
8. Remove valve from vehicle.
9. Clean mounting surface.
