EGR Tube: Service and Repair

REMOVAL
1. Raise vehicle onto hoist.

CAUTION: Use care not to damage Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve tube to manifold connector.

NOTE: Hold EGR valve tube to manifold connector with a wrench while disconnecting EGR valve to exhaust manifold tube.

EGR Valve to Exhaust Manifold Tube:

2. Disconnect EGR valve to exhaust manifold tube from EGR valve to exhaust manifold tube.
3. Lower the vehicle.
4. Disconnect EGR backpressure transducer hoses from EGR valve to exhaust manifold tube.
5. Disconnect accelerator cable and speed control actuator cable from the throttle body.
6. Remove accelerator cable bracket retainers and position accelerator cable bracket with the accelerator cable and speed control actuator cable out of the way.
7. Disconnect EGR valve to exhaust manifold tube from the EGR valve and remove the EGR valve to exhaust manifold tube from the vehicle.

INSTALLATION
1. Position EGR valve to exhaust manifold tube into EGR valve and loosely connect EGR valve-to-exhaust manifold tube nut to EGR valve.

NOTE: Do not tighten EGR valve exhaust manifold tube nut on EGR valve at this time.

2. Raise the vehicle.

NOTE: Hold EGR valve tube to manifold connector with a wrench while tightening EGR valve-to-exhaust manifold tube nut.

3. Connect EGR valve to exhaust manifold tube to EGR valve tube to manifold connector. Tighten nut to 35-45 Nm (26-33 lb ft).
4. Lower the vehicle.
5. Tighten EGR valve-to-exhaust manifold tube nut to the EGR valve to 35-45 Nm (26-33 lb ft).
6. Position the accelerator cable bracket. Install and tighten retainers to 8-12 Nm (71-106 lb in).
7. Position the accelerator cable and speed control actuator cable to the throttle body.
8. Connect EGR backpressure transducer hoses to the EGR valve to exhaust manifold tube.
