Wear safety glasses or a face shield, as well as protective clothing, to reduce the possibility of personal injury when using a steam cleaner or high-pressure water.
WARNING
The EGR mass measurement flow assembly tube can be hot. To reduce the possibility of personal injury, allow the engine to cool before removing.
WARNING
Do not remove the pressure cap from a hot engine. Wait until the coolant temperature is below 50°C [120°F] before removing the pressure cap. Heated coolant spray or steam can cause personal injury.
WARNING
Coolant is toxic. Keep away from children and pets. If not reused, dispose of in accordance with local environmental regulations.
NOTE: Brush away any loose dirt from around the area of the air handling connections to avoid contamination of the interior of the engine.
Use steam or high-pressure water to clean the engine, specifically around the EGR mass measurement flow assembly.
The EGR mass measurement flow assembly tube can be hot. To reduce the possibility of personal injury, allow the engine to cool before removing.
Loosen the V-band clamp that connects the EGR mass measurement flow assembly to the EGR valve and slide the V-band over the inlet side of the EGR mass measurement flow assembly.
When using solvents, acids, or alkaline materials for cleaning, follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for use. Wear goggles and protective clothing to reduce the possibility of personal injury.
WARNING
Wear appropriate eye and face protection when using compressed air. Flying debris and dirt can cause personal injury.
Clean the EGR mass measurement flow assembly with safety solvent.
Inspect the engine wiring harness, EGR differential pressure sensor, and EGR orifice pressure sensor connectors for corrosion, worn receptacles, or other damage.
Replace the engine wiring harness, EGR differential pressure sensor, or EGR orifice pressure sensor connectors if corrosion, worn receptacles, or other damage is found.
Inspect the EGR mass measurement flow assembly for soot plugging at the EGR differential pressure sensing ports and orifice pressure sensor mounting port.
Insert a flexible pipe cleaner or wire through the ports to verify the ports are not plugged inside. Make sure that the pipe cleaner or wire goes past the bend.
If the ports are plugged, the EGR mass measurement flow assembly must be cleaned.
When using solvents, acids, or alkaline materials for cleaning, follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for use. Wear goggles and protective clothing to reduce the possibility of personal injury.
WARNING
Wear appropriate eye and face protection when using compressed air. Flying debris and dirt can cause personal injury.
Clean the EGR mass measurement flow assembly ports with safety solvent.
Dry with compressed air.
If cleaning does not open the EGR mass measurement flow assembly ports, the EGR mass measurement flow assembly must be replaced.
