Alba Diagnostics has released the latest addition to its expanding range of electrical test tools to aid the technician in the repair of modern engines with ECU controlled systems.
The ALB40165 helps the technician to test the integrity of EGR valves and other 12v solenoid valves, and helps in the cleaning process for carbonised EGR valves. Due to the tools’ variable frequency control, EGR valves can either be cycled in low-frequency mode to ensure correct operation, or in high frequency mode to allow for progressive opening and therefore efficient cleaning. The controlled opening and closing of the valve over a range of frequencies provides the necessary action to clean the valve of carbon deposits.
A variety of other 12v solenoid type valves can also be tested with this tool, including vacuum solenoids, boost pressure control valves, carbon canister filters etc.
The tool is supplied with a selection of connector leads – both generic and specific – to allow for connection to a wide range of EGR valves.
Designed and manufactured in the UK, the ALB40165 is available now from most automotive tools and equipment distributors.
