Where is the EGR located on a 2001 Honda Odyssey?

Where is the EGR located on a 2001 Honda Odyssey?

What is the process to replace it? The EGR valve is located on the left side on the rear of the engine. Since the engine sits sideways in the vehicle it will be right about in the middle of the engine compartment towards the front of the engine.

What does the EGR valve do on a Honda Odyssey?

The Exhaust Gas Recirculation valve, or EGR valve, system in your Honda Odyssey reduces oxides of nitrogen by recirculating them back into the combustion chambers in your engine.

Why are the valves on my Honda Odyssey not working?

If the valve is malfunctioning, it can cause the engine valves to knock against the piston heads. In a Honda engine, this can be fatal for the valves because Honda uses a compact engine design, called an interference engine design, which causes the valves and the piston heads to intersect if the timing of the valves and pistons is not correct.

What are the three parts of the EGR system?

There are three main parts of the Odyssey’s EGR system. They are the EGR Valve, Differential Pressure Sensor, and the Actuator Solenoid. P0401 is a general code, which means that regardless of the year (1996+ anyway) and the model, it’ll have the same meaning regardless of which manufacturer built the vehicle (Honda Odyssey or not).

What to do if your Honda Odyssey has a vacuum leak?

By pulling the hose off the valve and hooking up the pump to the valve, you are creating a vacuum leak. Apply vacuum to the EGR valve. The vacuum should remain steady and the Odyssey should run poorly. If the vacuum doesn’t stay steady and the engine doesn’t run smoothly, replace the valve.

Why is my Honda Odyssey not passing smog?

The readiness flags (emission monitors) are not complete. I’ve driven my Honda for a few days now and it still won’t cycle through to get it to pass the smog. The emissions are ok, it just doesn’t complete the drive cycle enough times.
