EGR Differential Pressure Sensor: Rationality Monitor
This OBD monitor diagnoses the EGR differential pressure
sensor.
There are two methods for monitoring the EGR differential pressure sensor:
Normal Flow Condition:
This monitors the deviation between estimated EGR differential
pressure and the measured EGR differential pressure value.
Zero Flow Condition:
This monitors when the EGR differential pressure is supposed
to be zero when the EGR valve closed.
