P2527 Left EGS Positioner

Hello,

has been a while for me....

I have a code as stated. When searching it seems I cannot find the exact code anywhere.

WHO CAN HELP AND TELL ME WHAT THIS MEANS?

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know where you got the error message from, but I have seen this error with EGR failures. You might try cleaning the EGR.

Other errors imply low vacuum levels. The 2002/2003 models have a vacuum line to a small canister under the air filter (take the headlight out to get to it). Its possible that one of the vacuum hoses has started leaking. Easy fix, but a pain to get to.

Some other possible info:

I didn't look up the code.

If "EGS" isn't a typo...

Be careful with interpreting DTC written descriptions. EGS is Freightliner speak for TCM Transmission Control Module. The DTC may be related to that.

Thanks everyone for you response!

I was not very specific in my original post -sorry. That code is read out with the DAD, on my 2004 Sprinter.

I thought too it could be from the Transmission, but the transmission readout sates "OK" I just have never seen this particular code with that description. So any further clarification from our specialists here on this forum is greatly appreciated!!!


Thank you!

Not a typo.... that is why I am cautious. My 2004 was Dodge badged. I am just puzzled by this "....left ....Positioner" wording. I have never seen this before.

Thanks.

Likely the EGR. Here is what my Sprinter Error code book says (I ordered it with my DAD unit).

I didn't see any other 2527 errors in the book. Sorry, this book is out of print if you don't have one,

Thank you so much for your reply!
I do have the book as well, but could not locate it

It is just a strange description on my read out. I am considering buying the GDE tune to get rid of the EGR problems.

Thanks again.
