Q: How to service the EGR Valve without disassembling it on GMC Savana 3500?
A: Service the linear EGR Valve under the condition that disassembly should be avoided since it requires full assembly service. Take note of the exhaust gas recirculation valve position before removal to make sure it does not rotate by 180 degrees. Start by disconnecting the Battery Cable and taking out the air cleaner assembly from its position. Service the EGR Valve by disconnecting its harness connector but keep the linear EGR Valve free from all liquid cleaners or solvents because it is an electrical component that may suffer damage. Detach the EGR Valve to flange bolts and extract the linear EGR Valve unit with its associated flange gasket. Before installing the linear EGR Valve it is necessary to thoroughly clean its gasket surface. Fix the new flange gasket to the linear EGR Valve while closely following the fastener notice. Begin by tightening each of the valve-to-flange bolts to 10 n.m until they reach 89 lb in torque while completing the second step by tightening the bolts to 25 n.m at 18 lb ft torque. The EGR Valve harness connector must be reconnected after reinstalling the air cleaner assembly while completing the process by reconnecting the negative Battery Cable.
A: The initial step for exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve replacement starts with releasing the negative cable connection but taking careful notes about the valve orientation during dismantlement. The procedure requires elimination of the EGR Valve harness connector followed by EGR Valve bolt removal and subsequent extraction of the EGR Valve with its integrated gasket. Before installation properly position the EGR Valve and apply a new flange gasket to the valve. Tighten the EGR Valve flange bolts first to 10 n.m (89 lb in) from a starting point and follow up by tightening them to 25 n.m (18 lb ft). Complete the process by reconnecting both the EGR Valve harness connector along with the negative Battery Cable.
