SFI SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:P0403

DTC Code DTC Name
P0403 Exhaust Gas Recirculation Control Circuit

DESCRIPTION

Refer to DTC P0401 Click here.

DTC No. DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
P0403

Both of the following conditions are met for 1 second or more (1 trip detection logic):


  1. The engine is running.

  2. When any of terminals EGR1 to 4 has a fixed voltage of 0 V.

  • Open or short in EGR circuit

  • EGR valve assembly

  • ECM

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

This DTC is designed to detect an open or short is the EGR valve circuit.

If the EGR terminal voltage is low when the EGR terminal output is off, the ECM determines that the EGR valve circuit is malfunctioning.

MONITOR STRATEGY

Frequency of Operation Continuous

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN

A01VHT9E05

  1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

  2. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the tester on [A].

  3. Clear DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure) Click here.

  4. Start the engine and warm it up [B].

  5. Drive the vehicle at 20 km/h (12 mph) or more for 10 minutes [C].

    CAUTION:

    When performing the confirmation driving pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.

  6. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / DTC [D].

  7. Read pending DTCs.

    Tech Tips


    • If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.

    • If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.

  8. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Utility / All Readiness.

  9. Input the DTC: P0403.

  10. Check the DTC judgment result.

    Tester Display Description
    NORMAL

    • DTC judgment completed

    • System normal
    ABNORMAL

    • DTC judgment completed

    • System abnormal
    INCOMPLETE

    • DTC judgment not completed

    • Perform driving pattern after confirming DTC enabling conditions
    N/A

    • Unable to perform DTC judgment

    • Number of DTCs which do not fulfill DTC preconditions has reached ECU memory limit

    Tech Tips


    • If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.

    • If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note

Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.

Tech Tips

Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. Freeze frame data records the engine conditions 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, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

PROCEDURE


  1. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING ACTIVE TEST USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (CONTROL THE EGR STEP POSITION)


    1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

    3. Turn the tester on.

    4. Start the engine and warm it up until the engine coolant temperature reaches 75°C (167°F) or more.

      Tech Tips

      The A/C switch and all accessory switches should be off.

    5. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test / Control the EGR Step Position.

    6. Confirm that the Throttle Idle Position is ON and check the engine idling condition and MAP values in the Data List while performing the Active Test.

      OK
      MAP and idling condition change in response to EGR step position.
      - EGR Step Position (Active Test)
      0 Steps 0 to 30 Steps
      Idling condition Steady idling Idling changes from steady to rough idling

      MAP

      (Data List)

      MAP value is 20 to 48 kPa

      (150 to 360 mmHg)

      (EGR valve is fully closed)

      		 MAP value is at least +10 kPa (75 mmHg) higher than when EGR valve is fully closed

      Tech Tips


      • 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.

      • During Active Test, if the idling condition does not change in response to EGR step position, then there is probably a malfunction in the EGR valve.
