A review of returned 6.0L EGR valves has found that over half of the valves tested are not defective. TSB 6-19-6 (http://cms2.fmcdealer.dealerconnection.com/Ford_LM/Common+External+Links/TSBs/TSB6196.htm?UserID=d-gilbe6&PrintPreview=False) has recently been published with instructions to clean the EGR valve if it is contaminated.

The position test is located in the PC/ED Manual Section 4: Diagnostic Subroutines – Performance Diagnostic Procedures test step 8: Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Position. Valves that pass the position test should not be replaced under warranty and may be subject to chargeback.
