So i am writing this to clarify whether i am on the right track or not . From what i have read on the Egr valve and its functions with the ECM
PURPOSE
The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Temperature Sensor is used for on-board monitoring of EGR function.
OPERATION
By measuring the temperature of the intake manifold side of the EGR passage, the Engine Control Module (ECM) is able to determine whether the EGR is actually functioning. If proper EGR operation is not detected, the ECM illuminates the "Malfunction Indicator" light and sets a trouble code.
So if i understand this correctly The Computer throws a code for egr if the egr temp sensor does not read the correct intake temp, and obviously the current status of my egr temp sensor is open loop since it is unplugged . Therefore i believe if i am correct i need to add a resistor to the egr temp sensor to trick the computer into thinking its reading egr temperature
Please correct me if i am wrong or misguided. this information comes from alldata repair
So this would be the size of resistor i would need to be within the factory parameters
EGR Gas Temp. Sensor Resistance:
- At 50°C (112°F): 64 - 97 K Ohms
- At 100°C (212°F): 11 - 16 K Ohms
- At 150°C (302°F): 2 - 4 K Ohms
Open In New TabZoom/Print
- Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the terminals.
