Exhaust Gas Re-circulation (EGR)
Operation
The EGR system is only fitted to vehicles in NAS
markets and comprises the following
components:
¥ EGR vacuum regulator valve
¥ EGR valve
¥ differential pressure feedback EGR sensor
¥ exhaust gas feedback pipe with internal
orifice
Exhaust gas is re-circulated back to the engine
intake in proportion to a measured pressure
differential in the feedback pipe. The amount of
gas re-circulated varies primarily with engine
speed and load but is also modified by the EMS to
allow for other factors, eg coolant temperature,
and also to achieve optimum emissions and fuel
economy.
The re-circulated exhaust gas is taken from the A
bank exhaust manifold and fed into the engine via
the EGR valve. The feedback pipe contains an
internal tube with a small diameter orifice that
creates a pressure differential in the feedback
pipe. Two small pipes, connected to the feedbackpipe each side of the orifice, transmit the pressure
differential to the differential pressure feedback
EGR sensor.
The sensor consists of a transducer (a vacuum
operated variable capacitor) and a processing
circuit which convert the input pressure/vacuum
value to a corresponding analogue voltage which is
sent to the PCM. The differential pressure feedback
EGR sensor has a linear response and the
variations in exhaust pressure produce outputs in
the approximate range 1V- 3.5V dc.
The EGR vacuum regulator valve and the EGR
valve comprise the actuating components of the
control loop. The EGR vacuum regulator valve has
a vacuum input from the manifold distribution
pipes, a vacuum output to the EGR valve and
receives a pulse width modulated (PWM) signal
from the PCM. The PWM signal switches the
vacuum control output to the EGR valve according
to input demand from the differential pressure
feedback EGR sensor or in response to override
conditions determined by the engine management
system. The EGR valve is a vacuum operated
