EGR System Failure
on 2015 Chrysler 200 3.6L V6 Pentastar AWD · FWD
What this code means
The PCM has detected a failure in the Exhaust Gas Recirculation system. The EGR valve is not operating as commanded, resulting in incorrect exhaust gas recirculation which affects emissions and can cause driveability issues.
Symptoms
- Check Engine Light
- Rough idle when EGR opens
- Engine pinging or knocking at cruise
- Failed emissions test
- Poor fuel economy
Common causes
- Stuck or clogged EGR valve
- EGR passages blocked with carbon
- Faulty EGR solenoid or transducer
- Vacuum supply issue to EGR valve
- Faulty EGR position sensor
Diagnostic steps
- Command EGR valve open with scan tool and monitor engine response
- Inspect EGR valve for carbon buildup
- Check vacuum supply to EGR valve
- Test EGR solenoid operation
- Clean EGR passages and valve
Repair notes
Clean or replace the EGR valve and clean all EGR passages of carbon deposits.
