Cylinder 11 Exhaust Valve Control Circuit High
Cylinder 11 exhaust valve control voltage above expected range — short to power or open ground. The exhaust control valve modulates exhaust backpressure or routing (EGR feed, sound, regen support); a malfunction shifts torque mapping and may trigger limp mode.
Affected components
- Cyl11 exhaust valve actuator
- Actuator wiring
Common causes
- High likelihood: Wiring shorted to battery
- Low likelihood: Connector pins corroded - high contact resistance
- Low likelihood: Supply wire pinched against B+ source
