Renault P0488 EGR throttle position fault, Part 1

[@bryanwillson4821]

Really helpful. Thanks. Got a bad EGR on my Vivaro. Changing it over tomorrow. Got a P0488 code. Hopefully, a new valve will sort it. It's one those electronic ones, no vacuum. 9 years old 90k miles. 🤞

@@bryanwillson4821 hi Bryan, hopefully it worked out as planned & thank you for watching 🙏🙏

Yes, all sorted but I also had to change the exhaust pressure sensor which was also bad. All DTC codes cleared and all is well again. Many thanks.

Thanks for posting Peter if you get the go ahead be good to see the live data on the correctly working EGR👍 Merry Christmas Peter 🎄

I recorded the repair on Friday and posted it yesterday. I went for a walk today Kevin & thought that I should have recorded bidirectionally operating the new egr valve. Sometimes the necessity for a speedy repair impacts on content quality 😬😬

Thanks for the video Peter, I didn't know why they don't show the fault code on the manufacturer side of the scan too as well. merry Christmas mate

[@kennedysgarage3281]

I’m seeing that quite a bit lately Matt. Electronic gremlins playing havoc with my head 🤷🏼‍♂️😂😂😂😂

Happy Christmas & have a lovely new year with the family. Hopefully the break is doing you good like myself 😉🍻🍻

Live data thing is handy. Would like it on my obd to diagnose that intermittent hiccup while driving. Great cartoon again Peter.😊

[@kennedysgarage3281]

Nothing too fancy here but I just thought it interesting the way the desired Egr position went stagnant when the car saw the egr valve not opening as expected. Happy Christmas mate & have a great new year. Thanks for all the support over 2023 🙏🙏🙏

Great diag ............be good if you can show the EGR swap over later . Thanks

Great stuff Peter.

[@kennedysgarage3281]

Quite simple and straightforward Michael but just a little bit interesting the way electronics operate 🤔🤔🤔 Happy Christmas Michael 🎄🙏🙏🙏

@kennedysgarage3281 Happy Christmas to you too Peter.

Fingers crossed for part 2. Tell the customer the masses want to see it fixed. They will understand

[@kennedysgarage3281]

It is uploaded now Chis, simple enough but the fault code explanation’EGR throttle fault’ and the desired EGR position pegging at -4% was a bit misleading. It all makes common sense once thought about but you must think like an ECU to get it. Happy Christmas Chris 🎄🎄🎄

Really love your content, think you're really good at what you do but please don't call the rest of the uk (England). WE Scots, Welsh and I'm sure the Irish hate when the rest of the world call us all England. Keep the cartoons going cause we in the UK are learning a lot from you.

[@kennedysgarage3281]

Thank you, I’m glad you enjoy some of my content & apologies I will call it the UK in the future 🙏🙏
