EGR vent control circuit/open
Key terms: EGR: exhaust gas recirculation, which cuts harmful gases · Control module: a small computer that runs one part of the car · Powertrain: engine, transmission and emissions
1What it means in plain English
The engine or powertrain control system has stored a fault that does not have specific guidance in this database yet.
2Common causes
- Sensor or actuator fault
- Wiring or connector fault
- Vacuum or intake leak
- Fuel or ignition problem
- Control module fault
3Can I drive?
Have it diagnosed promptly. If the car runs and drives normally, drive gently to a workshop. If it runs badly, stalls, overheats, loses oil pressure, or a warning light is flashing or red, stop safely and get professional help. If the code concerns the brakes, brake vacuum or brake assist, do not drive until it is checked: a hard pedal or longer stopping distance means stop.
This page gives general information. It is not professional advice. For a definite diagnosis and a repair quote, ask a qualified mechanic to inspect the car.
