FUNCTION OF MAIN COMPONENTS
The main components of the emission control system are as follows:
| Component | Function |
|---|---|
| ECM | Controls the emission control system based on signals from each sensor. |
| Electric EGR Control Valve Assembly | Actuated by the ECM, this valve controls the flow rate of EGR gas. |
| EGR Valve Position Sensor (Built into Electric EGR Control Valve Assembly) | Detects the EGR valve position. |
| Diesel Throttle Valve | Actuated by the ECM, this valve controls the flow rate of intake air. |
| EGR Cooler* | Cools EGR gas. |
| No. 2 EGR Valve Assembly* | Switches the flow passage of EGR gas in 2 stages. |
*: Models with EGR cooler
FUNCTION
The main function of the emission control system is as follow:
| Function | Outline |
|---|---|
| EGR Control | This system is designed to help reduce and control NOx formation due to a reduction of peak temperature in the engine combustion chamber, which is accomplished by the introduction of an amount of inert gas into the intake manifold. |
