What is MID 90:
MID 90 refers to an issue with the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) System. The ECM detects a malfunction in the EGR system, which can affect exhaust gas flow regulation and lead to poor engine performance, increased emissions, and potential engine stalling.
Why This Happens:
- Faulty EGR valve.
- Shorted or damaged wiring in the EGR control circuit.
- Blocked or contaminated exhaust system components.
- Loose or corroded connectors.
- ECM failure to process EGR data.
How to Fix It:
- Inspect the EGR valve and wiring for visible damage or malfunction.
- Test the EGR valve to ensure proper operation.
- Clean or replace the exhaust system components as needed.
- Replace the faulty EGR valve if necessary.
- Ensure proper communication between ECM and EGR control circuit.
How to Avoid It Before It Happens:
- Regularly inspect the EGR valve and wiring.
- Keep the exhaust system clean and free from blockages.
- Perform routine maintenance on the EGR system.
- Use diagnostic tools to monitor EGR performance.
- Clue’s equipment maintenance services monitor EGR systems to prevent issues before they affect engine performance.
