Where is the RAV4 EGR valve located?
1 Answers
RAV4 EGR valve is located on the right side of the intake manifold, near the throttle body, and connected to both the intake and exhaust manifolds. The function and daily maintenance of the RAV4 EGR valve are introduced as follows: Function of RAV4 EGR valve: It controls the degree of valve opening through a vacuum tube, determining the amount of exhaust gas transmitted to the intake manifold. By directing exhaust gas from engine combustion into the intake manifold for re-combustion, it lowers the combustion chamber temperature, improves engine efficiency, optimizes the combustion environment, reduces engine load, effectively decreases carbon monoxide emissions, minimizes knocking, and extends the service life of components. Its primary role is to regulate the amount of exhaust gas entering the intake manifold, allowing a controlled quantity of exhaust gas to recirculate. Daily maintenance of the valve: For valves stored long-term, regular inspections are necessary. Keep exposed machined surfaces clean and free of dirt. Ball valves should be stored with both ends plugged and in the open position, while gate valves, globe valves, and check valves should have both ends plugged and be in the closed position. Store them neatly indoors in a ventilated and dry place, strictly avoiding stacking or outdoor storage.
