Engine Code 32

Sometimes I get a "Service Engine" light. I read the code as 32.

It only happens at normal operating temperature, constant acceleration (like cruise control on the highway). The light comes on but the engine doesn't change in any way. If I stop, turn off the car, and restart it.... the light stays off.

During stop & go driving around town it never comes on. Only Highway constant acceleration.


HELP Please.

That's a completely normal occurence when the EGR system fails. Since there are two different EGR system types, which engine do you have?
