DESCRIPTION
EGR valve

The EGR valve controls theamount ofexhaust gasrouted tothe
intake manifold. Vacuumisapplied tothe EGR valve in
response tothrottle valveopening. Thevacuum controls the
movement ofataper valve connected tothe vacuum diaphragm
in the EGR valve.

SEF783K EGRC-BPT valve

The EGRC-BPT valvemonitors exhaustpressure toactivate the
diaphragm, controllingthrottlebodyvacuum appliedtothe EGR
valve. Inother words, recirculated exhaustgasiscontrolled in

responds tosignals fromtheECM. When theECM sends anON
(ground) signal,thecoil inthe solenoid valveisenergized. A
plunger willthen move tocut the vacuum signal(fromthethrot-

When theECM sends anOFF signal, thevacuum signalpasses
through thesolenoid valve.Thesignal thenreaches theEGR
