My check engine light came on tonight and then self check the computer and the code i got was 10 05 which is EGRC Solenoid valve. I was wondering what it is and what i should do for it. i just rest my computer for now and i am hoping that the light will stay off. Could some help me please. Thanks mike.

 

The soleniod is used by the ecu , and controls when vaccume is aplied to the valve, to open and close it.

Thats what it is, and how you test it should be outlined in a repair manual.

 

Thanks for helping me but where is this soleniod located in the car and what repair manual should i get.

 

1005
1005 is EGRC Solenoid valve

The majority of my information about Diagnostic Trouble Codes comes from my '99 Maxima factory service manual. Unfortunately, DTC 1005 is not in that book. Starting in '99 the Maxima engine uses a step-motor type of EGR valve and with that change, the DTCs changed.
The Chilton and Haynes manuals provide a little information about the EGR Solenoid Valve.
The test procedure for this part is found in the Chilton repair manual (page 4-11) and the Haynes repair manual (page 6-20). Test the valve and replace if necessary.

This malfunction is not an emergency but should be resolved fairly soon (7-10 days). An inoperative EGR valve may result in engine pinging and a variety of driveability complaints.

 

thanks for the help its been helpful.

 

does anybody know how much EGR valve would cost.
