Note. Do not permanently remove or render inoperative any part of the vehicle emission control system including related hardware. Failure to comply may violate applicable state and federal law.
Note. The vehicle emission vacuum routing diagrams are contained in the Description and Operation subsection of the Evaporative Emissions service information. Refer to EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS article.
The engine emission control system consists of the
- EGR system.
- PCV system.
EGR System
The EGR system returns a small amount of exhaust gas into the intake manifold. This reduces the overall combustion temperature. Cooler combustion temperatures provide a significant reduction of the Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) in the exhaust emissions.
The engine incorporates a stepper motor-controlled EGR valve which receives its signal from the PCM. Engine coolant is used to cool the EGR valve. The EGR valve and stepper motor are serviced as an assembly.
The amount of recirculated exhaust gas depends on
- engine rpm.
- intake manifold vacuum.
- exhaust backpressure.
- engine coolant temperature.
- throttle position.
PCV System
The PCV system uses intake manifold vacuum to ventilate blow-by vapors from the crankcase and return the vapors to the intake manifold for combustion. The PCV valve varies the amount of blow-by vapors returned to the intake manifold based on available engine vacuum. The PCV valve is serviced as part of the crankcase vent oil separator.
