ECD SYSTEM(w/ DPF), Diagnostic DTC:P0405, P0406

DTC Code DTC Name
P0405 Exhaust Gas Recirculation Sensor "A" Circuit Low
P0406 Exhaust Gas Recirculation Sensor "A" Circuit High

DESCRIPTION

EGR system is designed to reduce and control NOx formation due to a reduction of peak temperature in the engine combustion chamber, which is accomplished by introducing an inert gas into intake manifold.

Exhaust gas is taken out from exhaust port to EGR valve, and when the valve opens, it is circulated into the intake manifold by difference of the pressure between exhaust manifold and intake manifold.

The ECM judges engine condition from engine speed (NE) and injection amount and operate EGR valve with DC motor and the amount of EGR gas. Also, it controls diesel throttle opening position with DC motor. By sensing the engine coolant temperature sensor and atmospheric sensor, EGR system operates the amount of EGR gas depend on various environment.

Adopting the exhaust gas passage in the cylinder head and a water cooling type EGR cooler makes it possible to lower the temperature of the exhaust gas and recirculate a great amount of exhaust gas.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note

When replacing the ECM, the ECM needs Registration and Initialization Click here.

Tech Tips


  • When the ECM must be replaced, before replacing the ECM, perform the "Learning Values Save" function using the intelligent tester. Then after installing the new ECM, perform all of the initialization/registrations for the "Learning Values Write" function by following the instructions shown on the tester display.

  • Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ELECTRIC EGR CONTROL VALVE ASSEMBLY - ECM)


    1. Disconnect the electric EGR control valve assembly connector.

    2. Disconnect the ECM connector.

    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      B55-5 (VC) - B21-26 (VCEG) Always Below 1 Ω
      B55-4 (VTA) - B21-27 (EGLS) Always Below 1 Ω
      B55-3 (E2) - B21-25 (EEGL) Always Below 1 Ω
      B55-5 (VC) or B21-26 (VCEG) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      B55-4 (VTA) or B21-27 (EGLS) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      B55-3 (E2) or B21-25 (EEGL) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
