    How is the ECM operation affected when the EGR is turned off.

    Hope this is the correct place for this question.

    I am curious. What is really happening when I turn off the EGR on my LLY Duramax diesel? Is the ECM still running the EGR confidence checks? Is the EGR turned off for all conditions? If the ECM knows the EGR is commanded off do I still have to disable all the EGR DTC's.

    Thanks

    You should ask in the diesel section, more likely to get an answer. I'm curious too.
