snidehockey Posted March 23, 2005 Posted March 23, 2005 I am gettin a CEL and the code reads its the EGR...I've removed the valve n the manifold its attached to and cleaned it out thoroughly...pulled the negative and the CEL was off for about 2 days then came back...I read in the faq that I should clean off a few sensors that may cause this...I have a 94 es300. Where are they located? (SK?) This CEL is driving me crazy. any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Also I have to replace the back bulb behind my temp gauge in the cluster...is it a pain to get in there? I read a PDF file about removing it on an LS and from what I understand it LOOKED like I only need to pul the screws up in the black plastic, then a few more...is that true or does the whole dash need to be pulled? Thanks
snidehockey Posted March 24, 2005 Author Posted March 24, 2005 What octane gas are you using? ← 93 octan....Premium always! (or SUPER Premium at 7-eleven) I pulled the cluster and replaced the bulb but the back light behind the temp gauge still stays off...from what I've read those things are pretty annoying. I was surprised...taking out the gauge cluster is really easy. I might do it again just for the fun of it :-P

Your problem is elsewhere. No need to mess w/ the cluster if you don't need to. There are alot of complex circuits in there, you could bend a pin on one of the connectors if your not careful, etc.. It's also rather easy to mess up your gauges.
snidehockey Posted March 26, 2005 Author Posted March 26, 2005 what specific egr code do you get ← I don't remember...I just know the guy told me it was the egr valve malfunctioning...I'll go check again tho And I know the CEL bulb works it was a backlight behind the temp gauge that was out...like one that lights up the H and C on the gauge...thats why I pulled the cluster.
SKperformance Posted March 26, 2005 Posted March 26, 2005 their are a few egr sensor codes which narrow down the problem need the exact one
