How do you clean the egr passages on a Ford Escape?

To clean the EGR passages on a Ford Escape, first, disconnect the battery and remove the EGR valve. Use a suitable cleaner, such as throttle body or carburetor cleaner, to spray into the EGR passages, allowing it to soak to dissolve carbon buildup. A flexible brush or pipe cleaner can help scrub the passages gently. After cleaning, ensure everything is dry and reassemble the components before reconnecting the battery.
