EBPV Question...

My dad has an 01' F250 7.3L powerstroke. I was with him just the other day. Keep in mind it is summertime and it was about 80 deg. outside. He started and warmed up his truck. I heard his EBPV kick on, you know how it changes the tone of the exhaust? I was told it only kicks on if the outside temp is really cold.

any thoughts on this?

I was thinking he may need to clean his ebp tube and sensor.
