EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION - System Overview |
The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system is based around a small ECU which, using engine demand and temperature, controls a valve that mixes an amount of the engines exhaust gases with the air being drawn into the engine for combustion (recirculation). |

SM008 - EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION - Diagnostic Capabilities (Read Fault Codes) |
Reads the fault code memory. The ECU can self detect up to 8 different problems with itself, its wiring and its associated sensors, storing the respective code if it detects any malfunction or reading outside of pre defined acceptable limits. Not all stored faults may cause the fault warning lamp to illuminate. |
SM008 - EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION - Diagnostic Capabilities (Clear Fault Codes) |
The system automatically stops reporting any repaired problems. |
SM008 - EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION - Diagnostic Capabilities (Settings) |
Values, configuration settings, and other stored information which can be read from the ECU, edited and then rewritten back. Read settings can also be stored as a standard HTML page for reference. These pages can then later be re loaded and re written back to the ECU. Please note that some values may be Read Only due to the fact that they are supplied from the ECU’s ROM or are internally calculated.

SM008 - EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION - Diagnostic Capabilities (Other) |
This function allows the valve (known as the Modulator) which controls the mix, to be driven to any position dictated by the values in the range 0 to 255 to check it's correct operation and that the ECU has full control over the valve. |
