Diagnostic Overview
Mack fault code P2457 indicates EGR cooler efficiency below threshold. The ECM has determined that the EGR cooler is not reducing exhaust gas temperature as expected. This can affect NOx control, engine temperature, soot production, and aftertreatment performance.
Likely Causes
Restricted EGR cooler; coolant flow problem; carbon buildup; low coolant; stuck bypass valve; faulty EGR temperature sensor.
What To Check First
Check coolant level and flow, inspect EGR cooler restriction, review EGR temperature data, and verify any EGR cooler bypass operation.
