Ford Transit mk7 egr explanation

An explanation of how the egr valve from a mk7 Ford transit actually works. The valve is spring loaded so is closed when there is no power to the egr motor. There is a position sensor so if the power is disconnected then then the position sensor won’t work either and it will throw an engine management fault light.
