With ScanGauge I have no way to command anything to do anything. It's solely a scan tool. It would be wayyy cool if I could. Benny, I'll check all values again this morning Cold & Hot and post them all at once. I appreciate all the responses given.

Ok, here we go. All values Hot and Cold were taken together this morning after a good overnight cold soak.

MAP 14.5 14.6 21.5
PSI 0 .7 3.5
EBP 14.6 18.1 22.5
BARO 14.3 14.3 14.3
EGV 0.0 0.0 1.0
EGR 0.0 0.0 0.0
EVM 0.0 0.0 0.0
EPV .91 1.22 1.77

Engine Idling @ 690 RPM


HOT KOEO Low Idle High Idle

MAP 14.5 15.1 18.2
PSI 0.0 .3 3.5
EBP 14.6 17.0 22.5
BARO 14.3 14.3 14.3
EGV 0.0 1.0 1.0

Have you had the EGR out and cleaned looks to me its slow on EVM meaning more throttle response valve not opening only to 27% at 2500 rpm should be open more, lets see what Benny has he's the master on these Scan readings
heres base values for
egrdc=koeo-0 low-0-15 hi-32 operating range 0-44 percent
egr position koeo-0.8 low-0.8-1.0 hi-1.3 operating range 0.6-3.5

I haven't pulled the EGR to clean it yet. I will if the fault points to it being gunked up. Does a clogged EGR valve cause fluky voltage readings too or is it something possibly in the wiring harness?

Mine threw that code twice so far, turbo was cleaned at 23000 miles I have 35000 now. After installing my program from my sct tuner and running it a bit more I havent had the code come up. I assumed it was sticking...

Ya it would be good to pull and check the EGR Valve clean it going to be the Easiest thing at this Point

my 03 don't get these EGR Valve Gauges so I haven't played with them

His EGR Valve Position at KOEO is Out of Spec is it the problem IDK the rest Looked OK as far as I could tell

EBP Volts seems a Touch High at High Idle it could be from the EGR Valve Stickey or Stickey Turbo


IDK if you can But since it triggers the CEL while towing it may be a Good Idea to check these sensor while in tow But I don't have a Value for driving or towing so a sensor Number would have to be way out to catch but hey you might get Luckey

I couldn't find a decent thread on how to clean the EGR out. I don't want to drown the unit with carb clean 'cause there's holes around the pintle or something to avoid?

you will just soak the Bottom Half that stickes Inside the Intake Manafold

Don't get any cleaner in the Top Half where the Electronics are at

I just fill a small cup cleaner and lay a stick ir something at the top the cup to hold the EGR valve and let the Bottom half hang in cleaner

The weep holes are in the part right about at the Gasket Line Just ABOVE the Gasket that seals at the Intake manfold

The weep holes are to drain any liquid that may get into the upper electronics just to keep moisture out

I pulled the EGR valve and it was dry, black and lightly flakey\sooty. Most shook off, but I douched it well with carb cleaner. It only took 1/2 can of cleaner and it then looked like new. The valve was in amazing condition after 20,000 miles since replacement by Ford. A lot has to be said for using Cetane booster. I imagine my turbo is in the same shape. I moved the spring loaded valve upward and sprayed the seats real well and replaced. I took the EGR, EPV and EGV readings again. The COLD readings were identical to before the cleaning, the HOT readings changed as follows;

HOT KOEO Low Idle High Idle


MAP 14.5 15.1 18.2
PSI 0.0 .3 3.5
EBP 14.6 17.0 22.5
BARO 14.3 14.3 14.3
EGV 0.0 1.0 1.0
EGR 0.0 35.0 45.0 After cleaning 0.0 32.0 37.0
EVM 0.0 12.0 27.0
EPV .90 1.16 1.75

I dunno. Next step I guess is to R&R the EBP sensor and clean the tube. Any other thoughts?

The problem here IMO is all your pressure gauge readings (MAP,EBP) are Both alittle Higher than normal

so its hard to just condeim just a EBP sensor being Bad

In Fact Im thinking since MAP & EBP are both a Touch High PSI reading that they are OK (Unless the Cold vs Hot readings with EBP are drastically different)

Cleaning a EBP sensor usually only works if EBP reads Low psi yours reads High psi you could try it though

It brings into question VGT Valve and or Stuck turbo

The Hard thing about your case is the CEL only triggers when Towing and we are Not testing under that condition
