Code 16 EGR
I checked the codes on the Rio and it came back with code 16 EGR Valve Position
What does that mean in English, what do I need to do to fix it?

Re: Code 16 EGR
EGR is Exhaust Gas Return or recirculation. The valve returns a metered amount of exhaust gas back to the intake manifold, reducing the oxygen intake which lowers the combustion temp and in so doing reduces the NOx, Nitrous Oxide level and the CO2 levels. It cuts fuel consumption too. There is a sensor that picks up the valve position and tells the ecu all about it. If its genuine, it sounds like a dodgy sensor or connection.
When I had my non starter, I had all kinds of so say faults like that but all were spurious in the end. (CPS damaged wire as it turned out).

Re: Code 16 EGR
Hi,
when you say the left side, is that as you look from the front? also are they both bolted to the head and would you have any pictures, although I could look in the parts book!

Re: Code 16 EGR
Mine is for show only, gasket replaced with solid copper gasket. Code 16 is blanked out in my ecu too.
