Primarily egr temp sensor and more software to try to evaluate the individual O2 shifts per cylinder to throw a injector leak code if an unusal rich condition was encountered.

4 new codes:32 egr function; 35 egr temp sensor function test; 45 injector leak; 51 injector circuit fault [based on open or short]

Kind of OBD 1.1&1/2

I've had both and couldn't detect any performance difference. They all run so clean that no degradation was necessary to meet specs in CA.
