Removal and Installation

  1. Disconnect the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system module electrical connector and vacuum connector.
  2. Remove the 2 bolts and the intake manifold shield.
    • To install, tighten to 12 Nm (9 lb-ft).
  3. Disconnect the EGR tube fitting from the EGR system module.
    • To install, tighten to 40 Nm (30 lb-ft).
  4. Remove the 2 bolts and the EGR system module.
    • To install, tighten to 25 Nm (18 lb-ft).
  5. Remove the EGR system module gasket and discard.
  6. Clean the mating surfaces of any residual gasket material.
    CAUTION: Do not use metal scrapers, wire brushes, power abrasive discs or other abrasive means to clean the sealing surfaces. These tools cause scratches and gouges that make leak paths. Use a plastic scraping tool to remove all traces of the EGR system module gasket.
    NOTE: If there is no residual gasket material present, metal surface prep can be used to clean and prepare the surfaces.
  7. To install, reverse the removal procedure.
    • Install a new EGR system module gasket with the side that has the raised circle facing the intake manifold.
