Video tutorial

In this video, you can see where the EGR valve is located in the Toyota RAV4 and how to proceed if you need to remove it, for example, for a complete cleaning or to replace it directly. As shown, it is located at the upper front area of the engine and can be accessed by following the crosswise pipe to the left.

It is held by 2 pairs of bolts and nuts, both of which can be unscrewed with a 12mm socket spanner. Once removed and the sensor connector has been disconnected, you can remove the valve from the engine, clean it, and reassemble everything by following the reverse procedure.

To reset the tyre pressure warning light on the Kia Niro EV, inflate the tyres until they reach the correct pressure value. This value is indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tyres are inflated, turn on the instrument cluster to check that the warning light has completely disappeared from the display.
