| DTC Code | DTC Name |
|---|---|
| P04019C | Exhaust Gas Recirculation "A" Low / Insufficient Flow |
DESCRIPTION
Based on the driving conditions, the ECM regulates the volume of exhaust gas that is recirculated to each engine cylinder in order to lower the combustion temperature and reduce NOx emissions. The ECM monitors signals such as engine speed, engine coolant temperature, electric load, and vehicle speed. When the EGR permission conditions are met, the ECM controls the opening of the EGR valve linearly through signals to the EGR step motor.
| DTC No. | Detection Item | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area | MIL | Memory | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| P04019C | Exhaust Gas Recirculation "A" Low / Insufficient Flow | Change in intake manifold pressure is small when the EGR valve opened and closed during fuel cut operation (2 trip detection logic). |
|
Comes on | DTC stored | SAE: P0401 |
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM monitors the pressure inside the intake manifold while opening and closing the EGR valve during fuel cut operation. If there is no change in the manifold absolute pressure sensor value, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction of the EGR valve assembly, illuminates the MIL and stores this DTC.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the power switch on (IG).
Turn the GTS on.
Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
Turn the power switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
Turn the power switch on (IG).
Turn the GTS on.
Put the engine in Inspection Mode (2WD for measuring Exhaust Gas).
Start the engine and warm it up until the engine coolant temperature is 75°C (167°F) or higher [A].
With the engine running, accelerate the vehicle to 75 km/h (47 mph) or more by depressing the accelerator pedal for at least 10 seconds [B].
When performing the confirmation driving pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.
When accelerating the vehicle, depress the accelerator pedal more than normal to start the engine.
Idle the engine for 30 seconds or more [C].
With shift state M selected and the engine running, accelerate the vehicle to 75 km/h (47 mph) or more [D].
When performing the confirmation driving pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.
If the engine stops, further depress the accelerator pedal to restart the engine.
Perform the fuel cut operation for 5 seconds or more, with the accelerator pedal fully released [E].
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes [F].
Read the pending DTCs.
If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.
Input the DTC P04019C.
Check the DTC judgment result.
| GTS Display | Description |
|---|---|
| NORMAL |
|
| ABNORMAL |
|
| INCOMPLETE |
|
If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system is malfunctioning.
CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
Vehicle Control History may be stored in the hybrid vehicle control ECU if the engine is malfunctioning. Certain vehicle condition information is recorded when Vehicle Control History is stored. Reading the vehicle conditions recorded in both the freeze frame data and Vehicle Control History can be useful for troubleshooting.
(Select Powertrain in Health Check and then check the time stamp data.)
If any "Engine Malfunction" Vehicle Control History item has been stored in the hybrid vehicle control ECU, make sure to clear it. However, as all Vehicle Control History items are cleared simultaneously, if any Vehicle Control History items other than "Engine Malfunction" are stored, make sure to perform any troubleshooting for them before clearing Vehicle Control History.
By using the Control the EGR Step Position Active Test, the operation of the EGR valve can be checked.
If the EGR valve is normal and is opened using the Active Test, the Data List value changes as follows.
| Data List Item | Change in Data List when Number of Steps is Increased Using Control the EGR Step Position Active Test |
|---|---|
| Intake Manifold Absolute Pressure | Pressure rises |
Read freeze frame data using the GTS. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
PROCEDURE
CHECK ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P04019C)
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the power switch on (IG).
Turn the GTS on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes.
Read the DTCs.

| Inspection Mode |
Start the engine and warm it up until the engine coolant temperature is 75°C (167°F) or higher.
The A/C switch and all accessories should be off.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Active Test / Control the EGR Step Position / Data List / Intake Manifold Absolute Pressure and Engine Independent.

According to the display on the GTS, compare the values of Data List item Intake Manifold Absolute Pressure before and while performing the Active Test.
Make sure that the value of Data List item Engine Independent is "Operate" while performing the Active Test.
Do not leave the EGR valve open for 10 seconds or more during the Active Test.
Be sure to return the EGR valve to step 0 when the Active Test is completed.
Do not open the EGR valve 30 steps or more during the Active Test.
| Standard | |||||||||||

If the value of Data List item Engine Independent is "Not Opr" when the engine is idling, charge control is being performed. Perform the Active Test after charge control is complete ("Operate" is displayed).
While performing the Active Test, if the increase in the value of Intake Manifold Absolute Pressure is small, the EGR valve assembly may be malfunctioning.
Even if the EGR valve assembly is malfunctioning, rough idling or an increase in the value of Intake Manifold Absolute Pressure may occur while performing the Active Test. However, the amount that the value of Intake Manifold Absolute Pressure increases will be smaller than normal.
