Ok, How do ya turn off the EGR light(not ECS Light) If it is anything like the old nissan sentra's it is a milage tripped thing that was to get you into the dealer for a service call. HELP!

Black electrical tape..works for me:brow:

When you say "EGR light" I'm assuming a lot:

 

1. CEL on

2. Trouble code 34 --> Failed EGR solenoid

 

If you want to double check, to verify a bad EGR solenoid check the coil resistance by disconnecting the connector and ohming the contacts, a good coil reads about 35 ohms.

 

Besides the tape trick, replacing the solenoid should clear the CEL by itself.

 

Good post here on this subj, how to find EGR, etc.:

Good luck

Helps a lot if you post what you are working with? On 85 and 86 subarus here is how you get ride of that light.

 

 

It is connections i11a i11b i11c that are the connections to interchange

 

Good luck

Yes, you are totally right, it is a mileage-tripped thing, every 60k miles the light goes on for the mechanic to check the fuse or some ****, happened to me when I hit 180k, on my way to the coast darn thing came on and I was like WTF? got home after end of weekend and cost me like $15 to fix it.
