Purchase a DPF cleaning additive to help clear the ash and soot.
Q. Where is the EGR valve located on a 1999 Toyota Camry?
“Where is the EGR Valve on my 1999 Toyota Camry?” The EGR Valve is located between the firewall and the top, side of your engine. Always check the rubber hoses here, since cracks and abrasions on these pressurized hoses can give EVAP system error codes easily. The EGR valve is near the throttle body.

Q. Where is the EGR valve located on a Toyota Camry?
Location of your Camry’s EGR Valve. The EGR valve is located here on the back side of the intake manifold. Move the vacuum line at the top of the EGR—you may have to twist this a little to get it to free up. We’ll unclip that and move it off to the side.
- DPF cleaning additives contain fuel borne catalysts. These experience a combustion process to eliminate the soot and ash.
- Use the cleaning additive every 3 – 6 months to maintain the DPF.
Q. How do I know if my DPF is clogged?
How do I tell if my diesel particulate filter is blocked? If the DPF is becoming clogged with soot or a fault develops in the system, an orange light will typically appear on the dashboard as seen below.
Q. How do I know if my DPF filter is bad?
How To Tell If Your DPF Is Clogged
- Dashboard Warning Light.
- Limp Home Mode.
- Reduced Fuel Economy.
- Engine Performance Decrease.
- Difficulty Starting.
- Rough Idling.
- Increased Amounts of Black Exhaust Smoke.
Q. How long does it take to clean a DPF filter?
How long does DPF cleaning take? A DPF clean can take as little as 20 minutes to complete.
Q. How long can you drive with blocked DPF?
The DPF light coming on is a clear indicator that your car use and driving style needs to be reviewed, and you should avoid using the car for trips like the school run or regular journeys where the car cannot reach and maintain its normal operating temperature for at least 25 minutes.
Q. Can I still drive with a blocked DPF?
Can you ignore the DPF light and carry on driving? Technically yes, but we would not recommend it. If you ignore the DPF light and continue driving, the build-up of soot will soon reach a point whereby your car has to enter ‘limp-home’ mode in order to prevent any damage to the engine.
Q. Can a blocked DPF damage the engine?
However, just like any other type of filter, a DPF has a finite capacity. Once it gets clogged up, you will notice your car switching to ‘limp home mode’. This happens because your car is working to prevent any further damage that may happen to the engine. Moreover, it keeps you from potentially over-fuelling.
Q. What will a clogged DPF cause?
A blocked Diesel Particulate Filter will hinder the flow of gas through the exhaust system, preventing the gas from passing through the exhaust at the right rate. A DPF blockage may also cause the oil that is stored in your turbo system to carbonise, which can be dangerous for your engine.
Q. Why does my DPF keep blocking?
Your DPF will become blocked when soot builds up in it. To clear it, the soot needs to burn away, which is called “regeneration”. There are several ways that DPF regeneration can happen: Passive regeneration: This happens naturally when the car gets hot enough, during long drives at a high speed.
