EGR Diagnostics & Testing Course Online

Understand how the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system operates to avoid misdiagnosis and unnecessary parts replacement.

In this session, Clinton Brett explains EGR system operation using a clear and practical analogy based on the modern diesel air intake system.

This 1 hour 20 minute recorded webinar was originally delivered live to The Garage Network.

Revised in 2025: Now includes a short series of questions to consolidate learning, along with two technical articles that expand on the recorded content.

Stop replacing EGR components unnecessarily — diagnose the system correctly.
Before diagnosing any fault, it’s critical to understand how the system is designed to operate. Learn more in our guide: Know the diesel fuel system you are diagnosing before diagnosing faults.

This course will cover:

• Common rail diesel induction system operation
• EGR system operation and characteristics
• Identification and location of EGR components
• Diagnostic and repair solutions for EGR systems
• Vacuum systems and EGR faults (case study: Hilux 1KD-FTV starts and stalls)
• Explanation of five EGR-related technical bulletins (BMW X1, Peugeot, Mazda CX-5, Toyota Hiace, Ford Ranger PX2)

Inclusions:

Downloadable 28 page training booklet & professional development certificate.

Course access for one week - an email reminder will be sent one day prior to course expiry.
