EGR Quick Fix - Keep that Engine light OUT 

I got the 2659 code. My DD15 started to derate. The Freightliner dealer couldn't get me into the shop until the next day. I found your video. I did this, it worked. You really saved my ass. Thank you very much.

i work on these dd series engines alot. i found that cutting torch tip cleaners work very well to get the caked on soot inside the vintury ports out. start with the smaller tip cleaners and work your way up.

I was on the road and mine plugged up on one side..zip tie didnt work but I used a thin cable and a drill ...the cable was from seal used on the doors of refrigerator Van's or box Van's...its flexible and strong enough to break through. Awesome video thanks

This is really straightforward to understand. Thank you for being able to articulate this problem in such an easy way.

Just buy a 2012 dd15 Freightliner and I think this video will be helpful in the future thanks 4 the video.

Thank you for the tip, much appreciated

Keep up to great work on the videos

Hey good video and good audio. great job. you remind me of my tech school instructors.

Paperclip has always worked for me for the passage that is angled towards the intake side. Primarily, because its slightly curved and you can bend the paperclip to follow its radius.

This is super useful information and you make very simple and useful my truck is doing this exact thing and couldn’t figure out why thank you

I cleaned it once and I don't think I watch your video but if it works then I like and subscribe. It has most of those codes so....

Speedometer cable with frayed end works good, attached to cordless drill

Emissions on a semi is a true scam and is unsafe for drivers we should sue the government for it. It costs us a lot of money in repairs and make us sit on the side of the road due to derate and other dpf def issues

Thank you for this video. Very helpful advice!

I consider this basic maintenance, along with cleaning the 7th. Injector port (on dd13, dd15). I clean them with a brass wire brush from a gun cleaning kit. It's also very important to maintain your air dryer or moisture in the air lines will cause your pressure limiting valve to fail.

Extremely useful, great video 👍👍💚

WoW! Thanks. This helped me out tremendously.

I followed your video setup by stereo, and it's fixed. I asked the mechanic to take this apart, clean it, replace the sensor and the gaskets. He said, I've never heard about this, I can't do it. For $104 I got the original kit from the store in cambridge, ON. Took me one hour to do it. I got 3 fault code, now fixed. This thing will cause 25% power loss and 10% fuel consumption increase. Thanks for your video.

Great video and very informative!

I tried the plastic zip ties with a drill and it worked for me. Just insert the plastic zip ties far into the ports and use the drill at low speed. The zip tries will curl basically into a plastic drill bit. 2013 dd15 engine.

Thanks for useful information

Will the chunks that come from the clogged port damage the motor or other components?

thanks this was some great information. you just saved me a lot of money

Great video

I really can’t thank you enough for this kind of information. But I really would like to know your opinion on the Detroit DD 15 how good of the engine do you feel it is, and 2. How often would you say you should check those ports you’ve mentioned about in this video.

Wow didn't even know about this

Thank you for the video. The problem im having is getting the v pipe off. Did you use a short socket and 3 inch extententiin or a long socket. Thanks in advance.

Yeah I alway pull it off to clean it too!

Big thanks

bro freaking love your vids thanks alot!! keep em comming

Very clear and detailed, thanks.👍👍

Thanks you man ..

Great video, however, can you explain how water gets in there ?? Considering it is so tucked away and far above the ground...TIA

4:48 where did you find that on software.

The best two carbon cleaners I've found are berryman chem dip and easy off oven cleaner.

Excellent

Thanks sadly wish I knew about this last yr $7,000 later life lesson learned

Informative....

Buy cleaning egr cooler would it keep water temperature normal and would help keep the oil cooler?

very good

My truck been deleted. DPFs were removed but EGR wasn't blocked off like some guys have done. I received those egr codes recently. Spn 3058 and spn 2659 DD15 2016 cascadia Will blocking off the EGR cooler get rid of the codes and stop all that black smoke, leaving my exhaust?

Have you ever had this code please advice spn 411 fmi 13

Quick question wondering what y'all might be able to help me with as far as a answer, if a check engine light is turned off from a shady dealership and it turns out to be that the check engine light was for the transmission. My question is does the check engine light always come back on if the codes are cleared out of the computer in the vehicle? Just curious if anyone here knows the correct answer, from what I have researched the check engine light should come back on say within a hundred miles of driving or sooner even, but this situation the check engine light never came back on the dealership I took it to for a proper diagnostics was able to pull up the codes that had been previously deleted. Thanks in advance

Good day, I have a question: should the delta sensor be replaced even if the EGR was deleted on the truck? Delta check engine light is flashing.

Is there ever any videos for freightliner m2 106 box trucks

NICE

I was getting SPN 411 FMI 13, SPN 411 FMI 2, SPN 2631 FMI 1, SPN 3058 FMI10 and then I temoved the Delta P Sensor. I didn't find blockage in the pipe but I found a congealed quarter in one port on the sensor. I cleaned it out, slightly scraped baked on matter from the O-rings and cleaned up around the port edges with a flathead screwdriver. Shortly after reassembly in getting a 25% derate and a consistent and persistent SPN 2659 FMI 0 only. Is my Delta P sensor bad or do I have an EGR Valve issue? Thanks for the vid!

Hey we have a few 2016-2019 freightliner and KW trucks with the cummins motors. We have replaced the EGR cooler on ALL of them around 90-110k miles. Now a few of them seem to be mysteriously loosing coolant - no leaks under truck, no coolant in oil. I am afraid the coolant is leaking into the EGR again and we are going to have to replace them, again. Any idea what gives? Or anything I can do to help it? I would love to delete all that BS but I am unsure about doing that.. (yet)..

I’m having Issue with that code SPN 3058 FMI 10, I just replaced the VPod and the Delta P Sensor would it need to be recalibrated?

Have you had any experience with LS tractors and issues with egr valves.?

I'm having to go home early tonight because my dd13 Freightliner Cascadia just made a loud pop and then the check engine light came on and I lost all boost. What could that be

Please offer advice. The truck I run is Freightliner Columbia. On acceleration it coughs like a misfire eventually clears but next time accelerating cough spluttering and then runs good but while it’s trying to sort itself out power is low and truck is slow. Boss says it’s the EGR valve cutting in and out and local mechanics can’t fix it. Can you offer a solution please and thank you. Richard

what product did u use to clean it with?

How do you get the software that will read a DD15 engine and how do you connect it to your laptop? Thanks.

Hi I have a check engine code is spn 411 fmi 1 ， I did clean it air blow, but the light keep came on, do you have any idea what other things will cause this code on, please let me know thank you

Forget cleaning it. Just go to any Freightliner parts counter & order the kit they sell to replace the pipe, the sensor & gaskets for only $95 😮

Most useful video 0n Facebook

hey i got a 2014 cummins isl on a freightliner that has a code spn 3058 fmi 18. Does that mean a pipe or sensor is not reading the egr flow? thanks

Can you help me please i got ENG Low 12s277 01 comes and go any idea

I've herd throttle cleaner, how does that sound in ur opinion

How do I get the screw out if one is stripped

hello sir i have paccar mx 13 and i have code on my dosh monitor #4 injector data and egr delta sensor . i already change injector but my check engine still on and both code is still on plus my engine is derated . any help please

How could i find out if my egr is goin bad? I have a 2012 freightliner cascadia DD15

These new engines with egr,deff refine, sucks. old engines o5 n down are the best.

I have a freightliner cascadia 2014 this cold spn 973 fml 13 comeing out and says engin break

good stuff

This the code I get on my freightliner cascadia 2015 SPN 2659 FMI 0? Could you please tell me what I need to do to fix this issue. The dashboard says "Emission System Problem Detected 25% derate "

can we install oil cat cans on this particular engine?

? Will it be ok to just block off tube that leads to intake manifold and just leave the original EGR valve alone, will gases still return back to engine and will it still set off a code..... if done this way.

I have the code 411 fail 13 it refers to the delta p sensor

Thanks!

Do you know anything about the international N 13?

you said the ports have a bend in them. true on the early dd engines. the later venturi's have a straight port to help alleviate the plugging problem. there is an update kit with new venturi pipe, delta p sensor, and corresponding connector replacement. also some of the kits were packaged incorrectly from the vendor to ddc. the delta p sensor should ALWAYS be level front to back. if not, you have the wrong venturi pipe for that engine. and a quick explanation of what the sensor is doing. the sensor measures pressure difference (egr does not flow thru the sensor) between the high side and low side which the ecm can then calculate egr flow. if the port gets plugged the ecm believes there is NO egr flow and slams the egr valve wide open under all engine conditions. obviously at low speed the engine cannot swallow that much and stumbles and smokes and cant pull a greasy string out of a cats azz and of course throws a code. egr gas is inert (no oxygen) so if the ecm is pushing fuel into the engine it cannot burn without oxygen and smokes like an old freight train filling the dpf prematurely . one thing leads to another.

I got idpf in pressure..dpf out pressure ..def pressure sensor..and sensor volt 1 04 spn 3509..can someone help me out

Will this turn on and say. Fuel pressure is low. I have engine light an check engine light on. It has a hard time picking up speed. FED light didnt come one I change the doser valve it was black it work a little but I still have the problem. FED light never came on at this point. Also my fuel said I was low but not its tell me its not and my oil psi goes up and down. Fuel filter is clean. Coolent is not leaking at all and look under I see dry oil under but when I run it no oil leak check the oil stick my oil is not low.

Open it and cleaning it

Any advice on Code spn 102 fml 18 engine derate 25% ???

i was hoping you were going to show where to just turn this off for good, for us egr deleted guys

Detroit does not recommend cleaning venturi in any way. Cummins does. Detroit says replace it because it's coated with a non stick substance. If clogged supposed to replace. Not clean because it's not a fix its a bandaid.

Cascadia a/c clutch plug no power any idea what cause

4:48. What section on the software did you find that???? PLEASE REPLY

What happens if the clip breaks?

Comprar uno nuevo es mejor las dos cosas $150 en el dealer y ya sensor y el gascket,i put new sensor and the other part for $150 at dealer chip it’s going to be better

I've had good luck with using a steamer and air to clear those ports

Wouldn’t a similar problems happen On Paccar engines?

I'm so glad I bought a pre-emissions truck, don't have to deal with this bullshit!

Do you know where this sensor is located in a Volvo D13?

Sid 277 fmi 1

2 mechanics cleaned and tried to fix my egr light and it still pops on..2004 Hyundai Santa Fe 98,000 miles.. anyone know what could be the issue??

Thank you for the video very simple and easy explanation. I am having the same problem right now. I will be disassembling the unit and checking for sudden blockage. Hopefully that fixes the issue you probably just saved me about $1500 at the dealer.

I change the all thing and still give me the code

fkg egr, how i delete it

Similar to a Ford

Delete it and stop worrying!!

Ford commercials suck!

Soak it in straight purple power a few hours. Works great!!

Great video
