NOTE:

Generally, the EGR valve will not have developed a fault!                                                                  

Modern engine controllers are equipped with “adaptive memory modules”, i.e. the mapping data necessary for operation must first be “learned”. The electric EGR valve must be adapted to the engine controller! This is done by selecting a special programme of the engine tester (“default setting”, for example). More information on this is provided in the manual for your engine tester.
