SFI SYSTEM(w/o Canister Pump Module), Diagnostic DTC:P04019C

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).
  • EGR valve assembly

  • EGR passage

  • EGR pipe with cooler sub-assembly

  • Intake system

  • Manifold absolute pressure sensor

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.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note


  • 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.

Tech Tips


  • 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.

      Tech Tips


      • 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.
