| 20140020665 | EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION APPARATUS - An EGR apparatus includes an EGR passage and an EGR valve including a valve seat, valve element, and step motor. In a fully closed state of the EGR valve with the valve element seated on the valve seat, a front-side pressure of the valve element is detected by an air flow meter and a back-side pressure of the valve element is detected by an intake pressure sensor. An ECU calculates a differential pressure between the front-side pressure and the back-side pressure as a front-and-back differential pressure. When the front-and-back differential pressure is smaller than a predetermined reference value, the ECU allows opening of the EGR valve from the fully closed state and allows driving of the step motor. The ECU can also correct the reference value according value according to voltage of a battery that supplies electric power to the step motor. | 01-23-2014 |
