Ciao, tutti,
Is there GPF configured in European 2023 version Stelvio?

Here in China, due to regulation requirement about emission, GPF required to reduce the emission particles. But the warning to repair the engine comes up after some miles driving, dealer service here has no solution and recommend to drive more aggressively.
Come here for asking help to solve this issue. Thanks.

Definition:Exhaust Gas Recirculation A Flow Excessive Detected

Description:The EGR Valve Assembly contains an electric DC motor and gear box. An eccentric drive translates the gearbox output from a rotating motion (DC motor) to a linear stroke (output shaft). An internal return spring ensures that the valve returns back to its closed position as a fail safe.During initial opening of the EGR Valve, the PCM drives the PWM voltage high resulting in a high current draw. After the valve is fully opened the PCM voltage is reduced to maintain the EGR Valve position. This reduces the current draw and protects the DC motor from overheating.The PCM also applies a current in the closing direction to fulfill the required dynamic performance. This is done to slow down the closing speed of the shaft near the stop. This ensures that the valve does not close too fast causing the valve disk to be forced into the stop harshly which may damage the internal gearbox.

Cause:
  • EGR VALVE STUCK OPEN
  • EGR SYSTEM LEAK
  • EGR VALVE ASSEMBLY
