What is SPN 3364 & How to Solve It?

What is SPN 3364:

SPN 3364 indicates a fault in the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Valve. This could mean that the valve is not functioning correctly, leading to poor exhaust gas flow management and inefficient engine operation, possibly affecting emissions and fuel efficiency.

‍

Why This Happens:

• Faulty or clogged EGR valve.
  
• Shorted or damaged wiring in the EGR circuit.
  
• Loose or corroded connectors.
  
• Exhaust system blockage affecting EGR valve performance.
  
• ECM failure to process EGR signals properly.
  
  

How to Fix It:

1. Inspect the EGR valve for malfunction or blockage.
   
2. Test the EGR valve control circuit for proper voltage and resistance.
   
3. Check wiring and connectors for visible damage or corrosion.
   
4. Replace the faulty EGR valve if necessary.
   
5. Inspect the exhaust system for blockage or contamination.
   
   

How to Avoid It Before It Happens:

• Regularly inspect the EGR valve and exhaust system.
  
• Keep the EGR system clean and free from contaminants.
  
• Perform routine diagnostic checks on EGR system performance.
  
• Clean connectors to prevent moisture buildup.
  
• Clue’s Equipment Maintenance services track EGR system performance, ensuring early detection of issues.
