P241F

EGR Cooler B Efficiency Below Threshold

Moderate severity

What it means

The temperature drop across EGR cooler B is below the calibrated threshold - cooler is fouled with soot, has internal scaling, or coolant flow is restricted. Recirculated gas reaches the intake hotter than designed, increasing NOx and combustion temperatures.

Is it safe to drive?

Use caution

The vehicle is usually drivable for short distances, but the problem can worsen or affect emissions. Diagnose and repair as soon as practical.
