The Egr's purpose is to cause headaches and cost money lol..... Thankyou for your video, very helpful dude 10/10
😂😂😂😂 Too True!!!
That's all it is just like every government regulation
And what if power is the issue. Thats my problem
@@coltonallen672you mean you do not have around 12 volts to your connector?
Again and amazing video! The sound tone in the garage was terrific in this video. You always make things look so interesting and easy. Always looking forward to your next video. God bless you.
Awesome video. Love the time stamps and covering all the ways to check it. Life saver
Thanks for posting, helped me correctly diagnose my solenoids easily. 👍
Finally someone I can understand. Thanks so much.
Fantastic video, clear, articulate explanation. Many thanks, you save my day and money, thank you.
Perfect!! You just saved a Swede! God bless!
Straight forward, nice video they explained how to test the valve switch. Thank you.
Great video, clear and concise!
Great video! Just bought a car, previous owner told me someone scanned the ECU and there was a code "related to the oxygen sensor". Got home, scanned the ECU and the code I got (P0403) is NOT related to the oxygen sensor, but the EGR solenoid. I'll be testing the connector for power and the solenoid to see if it's stuck. Thank you for pointing me into the right direction!
PS: That outro music got me head bobbing right now... LMAO.
Clear & concise. Thanks.
Thank you very much, very professional and helpful video!
Thanks for the tips on testing, Greatly appreciated 👍
You made it simple and easy. Thanks..
Thank you this demonstration was very good and it helps
Good one. Just the right amount of info which I feel should be clear enough for any DIYer. Subbed👍
Great explanation of the EGR and how to test, this is gold my friend
Easy to understand, thanks.
Thanks man. Been a while and this was a great refresher
Awesome video man 👍🏻 it helped me diagnose an EGR issue on my ‘87 Camaro
I’m so glad I could help. Thanks for watching

Damn this is a good video. Thanks man.
Thankyou. This helped me test mine which turned out was ok.
Time for another rabbit hole with this pos Passat.
I’m so glad I was able to help. Thanks for watching and I wish you luck on figuring out the real issue.
Suscha good video very imformative! thank you so much

I love you❤ man a test should be a bad one and a new one ☝️ !! Love it because mine is no making noise when applying 12v.
Well after dealing with some leakeage on my golf mk4 I decided to make a smoke test and the smoke was leaking from the EGR valve breather. I cannot tell if this was good or bad so thanks to your video it seems that the EGR valve is faulty. Thank you!
Thanks for the video.

thank you very much
thank you!!!
Nice!
Very Nice
Thank you
gotta chill voice, easy to listen to and retain the lesson, faanxx bru
Nice
Thanks for the video!
For the good valve, both channels should hold pressure or only the one that goes to EGR? In your video, your testing only that.
Awesome now I can act like I know what I’m doing . Fake it till the a make it .
So the solenoid should be holding pressure when blowing into either port? And have open flow when applied voltage?
Something to keep in mind is that any electronic solenoid/ actuator can have either a power or ground activated circuit.
Applying 12 volts to the wrong terminal can and will fry your computer!
Bench test with power on only,NOT on vehicle. See scanner Danner for a short but informative vid.
Any advice on testing a 5 pin EGR valve...
Many thanks... Simon
Thanks for the video. What about a 3 pin egr valve sensor for a 2007 hilux 1kd ftv? This sensor sits on top of the egr valve and is separate to the vacuum sensor.
I did the test just like you did. (The connections for the tubes are in line) and when I blew into the top tube, air comes out of the bottom connection. When I blow into the bottom connection it's closed. is this a good Solenoid?
Great video, thank you. One question, when the car is not started, but the ignition is on, would you expect to receive 12 volts at the EGR solenoid? I would guess the 12 volts would open the valve and allow vacuum to pass to the EGR valve and open it and thus allow exhaust gases to pass into the inlet stream. I would have thought the introduction of the EGR gases would be dependent on engine temperature and as such the 12 volts would only be present when the computer detected to correct conditions - temp etc.
either what you said or the the 12 volt signal would be cut off at the time the computer sends the command.
Quick question can a VSV properly click when powers applied… But… But the Om readings are below the minimal satisfactory for instance… Mine should be 33 to 36… It reads 30 and 31… Could this still be failing even know it will click when power is applied… Thank you for a response this one's kicking my butt
on a 94 Honda Civic it works differently. when there's no power being sent to the solenoid, the valve is open and air flows through. when power is sent to the solenoid the valve closes not allowing air to go through.
That's the way my 94 Nissan HARDBODY is also. I have to supply power pluse hold my finger over the two outlets to get constant vacum
there should be no air leaking out the 3rd port under the cap?
2:07 - "Ok here we go, we're going to turn the multimeter on...." - Perhaps for your audience, can you please mention what setting you set your multimeter to when you measured 12v vs testing power probe for 12v? Thank you for your video
To answer your question the multimeter was placed on DC volts. However, thanks for the input I will try to remember to do that in future videos.
If you don't know what setting to have your multimeter on then you probably shouldn't be stripping solenoids off motors.
That's the 12v DC testing for beginners video you want.
My egr looks suspiciously clean for failing for Nox could it be that it never opens and essentially deleted itself?
Would this faulty solenoid throw up fault code p2425 on a renault master
My 2004 Toyota Corolla was the exact issue as yours mine would not close got a new one on the way should be here tomorrow
If that ends up fixing the issue please let everyone know here in the comments. I’m sure it’ll help others in the future. Thanks for watching.
I’m late… but what if you blow in one port and no air come out but if you blow in the other port air comes out?
Would this make the car stop working as my audi all of sudden stopped working but once o took the recirculation pipe off for the egr it ran but back pressured throu the small pipe to work? Hope this makes sense
I'm Trouble-shooting The EGR system on my 2005 Santa Fe 3.5L V6 The EGR Valve Solenoid is in a 'open/Vacuum' position, when not powered. With Power supplied it 'Closes/no Vacuum' The wiring Harness Plug Has power, but the Negative(?) connector side of the Plug seems to not be connect to a Ground Source... My Question is: IS The Negative side of this Harness Plug controlled by the ECU through the ground wire, or is it the Power-wire that is controlled by the ECU?
Thank you for the educational video. My question is: I think my EGR solenoid is closed at all time because I blow air at one end and no air go through at the other ends even when power applied with click sound. No air at all and tried both ends, same result. Do you agree it is bad? Thank you.
So on some valves you can blow air through one side but not the other. The main thing is if power is sent to it does it click? If so you can try sending power through it while applying vacuum pressure through one side and see if you can feel it come out the other side. If so your valve is not bad. If you don’t get vacuum through the valve than it’s bad. Make sure you have proper power/voltage and a good ground before attempting this test. I Hope this helps.
Mine gets vacuum then goes down to zero. What's your thoughts on that
The video was helpful but you dd not show us on the working blowing both side should all hold air or what mine one its holding air another is not also wen u blow it shaking it will open air should l get another one or also wen start vehicle its giving pippin sound wen switch of and on it stop it can start evn wen driving so l need to know of I need egr valve or solenoid
Hello Sir...I have hyundai verna diesel1.6
EGR VALVE socket have no current and turbo solenoid not working ....please help me for this
can a bad egr solenoid cause truck to shut off or die when its running ?
Signs your EGR valve is starting to go bad is reduced engine performance, rough idling, engine knocking, fuel smell inside vehicle and engine warning lights. Any of these things can mean you have a bad EGR. A faulty EGR valve affects engine performance by creating rough and jerky accelerations. It also reduces engine power, which is noticeable during low and high speeds. The problem is usually more noticeable at low speeds when the valve is stuck open and more apparent at high speeds when the valve is stuck closed. In worse cases, it can cause the engine to shut off while driving.
how do you resit the computer l forgot to disconnect the battery .
Is it normal for you to have Voltage on both wires once you plug it in?
Great video. How about having to check ohms on the solenoid. Is that needed if you hear click or not when supplying power? If so, what should be reading? Thks ....jc
Testing for ohms would not be needed as the click means that it opens and closes properly.
@@directautofix got it..thks.jc
hi,great work .is it possible to repair the leaking valve?
It really all depends on what’s wrong with it. However, if something is wrong with it your best choice is to just replace it. If one part of it has already failed it’s only a matter of time the rest of it fails as well.
@@MAGSHowToVideos Thank you for your interest.
So what if I have 3 ports? I do get the clicks, now when I blow in one air does comes out of one but not the other but when I supply power then both push air out. Is it still bad. Solenoids are from a 89 ford probe gt I have two solenoids
Now I should say one port has a cap on top and the other ports are like the ones you are showing a side one and bottom one.
So what happens if it’s holding a vacuum on the highest input and when you blow through the lower one it’s letting air out does that mean it’s still partially open or failing somewhere. Because I’m able to make the actuator click but in trying to put air through the solenoid one will Maintain a vacuum and the other won’t
Some vacuum valves allow you to blow through one end but not the other. The one I had was designed to be closed in both directions.
@@MAGSHowToVideos Ah. One more question. When the EGR valve releases to open, do it do it slowly or instantly. I did a vacuum test and the pump released the air in about 2 seconds.
My solenoid blows air through si as you said it’s stuck on open position But when I plug it in power it clicks and holds pressure but then when then take it off the power it remains open. Is my solenoid bad? Or Good? :). Thanks for the great video!
If it retains pressure when powered on it sounds like it’s still good.
my egr is electrical , no vacum hose. If i put 12 v without dismantling it and don't hear the click does it mean my valve is stuck and need to be replaced?
Or the pintle is jammed with soot
I am now a professional solenoid tester. Bruh
Please explain how recycling exhaust gases back through the intake manifold will make things cooler?😮🤔🤔
Thanks heaps.
By recycling some of that hot air mixture back into the engine, there is less going through your exhaust system which allows it a little more time to cool off. Granted it’s not much, but over time I believe it helps extend the life of some of those parts. The main reason for the EGR Solenoid is to help burn off more of the access gas vapors to produce cleaner admissions.
Gases Goes through an egr cooler that's water cooled
Should both sides hold vacuum? Mine is missing the cap on the end. Bottom hose line hold vacuum. top hose I can blow through. Is this normal?
Yes that can be normal the real test that’ll determine weather it’s good or bad is will it work when power is supplied to it. Not sure about the missing cap tho.
doesn't matter where positive and negative go from multimeter to solenoid, correct?
my EGR is not gettiing 12v at the plug, is that normal ? 08 Ford Ranger ?
If you have your vehicle running and you don’t have 12V going to the solenoid than something is wrong. The most likely thing would be a bad wire. I would try an locate some sort of wire diagram and trace the wires so you can test for resistance.
this valve runs from the fuel tank then to the inlet manifold, so what i don't understand is how "exhaust gas" is recirculated back to the inlet manifold through this plastic solenoid.
ur looking at the charcoal canister purge valve thats why
I just took off my solenoid. Air escapes from one of the sides when i blow and when i block the other side. Side does not escape from other side when i try other side and blow. Is my solenoid faulty ?
Not necessarily that could be completely normal depending on the type of solenoid you have. Have you performed all of the tests? The main test that will determine if it’s good or not is the power prob test.
I have to get a new egr valve for my van. It's not the valve it's the electronic part that's failed. 😕
Only 3.79 volts arrive in my car's harness, it's a Golf 1.6 SR, is this normal?
I’ve never worked on a Golf 1.6 SR before but 3.79 volts doesn’t sound right. Even if you were testing a 5 volt power signal wire that wouldn’t be enough. Sounds to me like you’re going to have to test your wire hardest to see if you have high resistance.
Hi, what size is that air hose? 3 @ 4 @ 5 mm??
To be honest I don’t remember what size I used. It was so long ago when I filmed these. All I did was take the EGR Valve and found a hose that fit.
So when u blow no air should come out. When its good?
Depends on the brand you can’t always rely on the blow test because some are made to be closed and so open. The one I used in the video was a closed module. To truly tell if the solenoid is bad you need to perform all the tests if it passes all of the other tests then it should be good.
My solenoid is stuck closed, and not clicking when power is applied.
Sounds like it’s most likely broken and needs to be replaced.
I have disconnected the vacuum pipe that comes from solenoid im not getting any vacuum
New solenoid doesn't hold vacuum on either side.
The one side that should hold, leaks through the vented side with the filtered cap. Slowly, but just doesn't hold.
Mine does the same thing did you figure it out ?
@@timothyproksch2915I ended up using the old one, but I put the new electrical switch part on it. So I Frankensteined it. LOL
Buying cheap parts, sometimes makes things more difficult to fix.
What do you do if you are getting .06v of power?
Is the .06 volts coming from the wire hardness that plugs into the solenoid?
@@MAGSHowToVideos yes
If your B1s1 is defective does this effect this EGR selenion or not?
Ford made one that does not seal.
Mine has 3 openings... air is going thru it like nothing.. so i dont understand
Does it actuate when you send power through it?
Why didnt u test the top port on the working one?
Because it held vacuum on the first pipe he tried. It would be pointless.
He could have tested both to see the difference he got 2 working and not than us we need to buy and test wat happens wen both are holding air
We're the power came from fuse
We're is the fuse location
Might be ecu controlled. No fuse
What do you mean with the solenoid is ceased? The solenoid is not movable, it's the valve which is movable
I mean does the solenoid open and close. If not there’s something wrong with it.
@@MAGSHowToVideos a solenoid is just a helical coil of wire and it's not supposed to be movable. But it controls a valve and the valve is supposed to be movable
Turn it off, I say
