Fault Code 2272

EGR Valve Position Sensor Circuit - Voltage Below Normal or Shorted to Low Source

CODES REASON EFFECT

Fault Code: 2272 Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Possible low power. Power will be removed
PID(P), SID(S): P027 valve position circuit - voltage from the EGR valve motor.
SPN: 027 below normal or shorted to low
FMI: 4/4 source. Low signal voltage
Lamp: Amber detected at the EGR valve position
SRT: sensor circuit.

EGR Valve Position Sensor Circuit

Circuit Description:
The EGR valve position sensor outputs a voltage signal to the electronic control module (ECM). The ECM converts this
signal into a percentage value, 0 to 100, indicating valve position. A fully-open valve is equivalent to 100 percent.

Component Location:
The EGR valve position sensor is located on the EGR valve assembly. 100-002 for a detailed component location view.

Shop Talk:
The EGR valve position sensor shares SUPPLY and RETURN wires in the engine harness with other sensors. Open circuits
and short circuits in the engine harness can cause multiple fault codes to be active.
Possible causes for this fault code include:
• SIGNAL circuit open or shorted to ground
• SUPPLY circuit open or shorted to ground
• Sensor shorted to ground.
