Hello,

How do I replace the EGR cooler on a 2021 Edge? I’m getting code P2457 and losing coolant. Looks like this is the most likely failure.

Thanks!

Hello,

Yes, code P2457 indicates an EGR cooling-system performance problem, and with the additional symptom of coolant loss, a leaking EGR cooler. Here are the instructions on how to change it out. heck out the images (below). Please upload an image or a short video in your response, so I can see what's going on.
