EGR Valve Actuator: Service and Repair

Exhaust Gas Recirculation Valve Motor Replacement

Removal Procedure

Important: There is no gasket between the motor and the valve. However, some vehicles may have a thin metal spacer between the motor and the valve that appears to be a gasket. This spacer is used to correct for production variances in some valves and should be reinstalled with the new motor.

2. Disconnect the engine wiring harness electrical connector (1) from the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve motor.




3. Remove the EGR valve motor screws.
4. Remove the EGR valve motor, and spacer (if equipped) from the EGR valve.

Installation Procedure
