ECD SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:P0405/96, P0406/96

DTC Code DTC Name
P0405/96 Exhaust Gas Recirculation Sensor "A" Circuit Low
P0406/96 Exhaust Gas Recirculation Sensor "A" Circuit High

DESCRIPTION

The EGR valve position sensor is mounted on the EGR valve and used for detecting the lift amount of the valve. The lift amount detected by the sensor is provided to the ECM as feedback, the ECM then regulates the lift amount of the valve in accordance with engine running condition.

DTC No. DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
P0405/96

EGR valve position sensor output voltage is less than 0.1 V for more than 5 seconds

(1 trip detection logic)

  • Open or short in EGR valve position sensor circuit

  • EGR valve position sensor

  • ECM
P0406/96

EGR valve position sensor output voltage is more than 4.9 V for more than 5 seconds

(1 trip detection logic)

  • Open or short in EGR valve position sensor circuit

  • EGR valve position sensor

  • ECM

Tech Tips

After confirming DTCs P0405/96 and P0406/96, check the EGR valve opening angle condition by entering the following menus on the intelligent tester: Power train / Engine / Data List / EGR Position.

Result Condition
Changes between 0.3 V and 4.2 V Normal
Less than 0.1 V P0405/96 (Low input voltage)
More than 4.9 V P0406/96 (High input voltage)

Tech Tips

The result values above are for when the ignition switch is ON (engine is stopped), or when the engine is fully warmed-up and idling.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

When output voltage of the EGR valve position sensor deviates from the normal operating range of 0.1 to 4.9 V for more than 0.5 seconds, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction of the sensor circuit, and illuminates the MIL.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

Note

After replacing the ECM, the new ECM needs registration Click here and initialization Click here.

Tech Tips

Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. 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 running or stopped, if the engine was warmed up or not, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK TERMINAL VOLTAGE (EGR VALVE POSITION SENSOR CONNECTOR)


    1. A01BH5GE01

      Disconnect the D52 sensor connector.

    2. Measure the voltage of the wire harness side connector.

      Standard voltage
      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      D52-1 (VC) - D52-2 (D52) 4.5 to 5.5 V

    NG

    CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (EGR VALVE POSITION SENSOR - ECM) Click here

    OK

  2. INSPECT EGR VALVE POSITION SENSOR


    1. Check the EGR valve position sensor. Click here

      Standard resistance
      Tester connection EGR valve condition Spesified Condition
      D52-1 (VC) - D52-2 (E2) - 4 to 6 kΩ at 20°C (68°F)
      D52-3 (EGLS) - D52-2 (E2) Fully opened 3.9 kΩ at 20°C (68°F)
      D52-3 (EGLS) - D52-2 (E2) Fully closed 1.0 kΩ at 20°C (68°F)

    NG

    REPLACE EGR VALVE ASSEMBLY

    OK

  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (EGR VALVE POSITION SENSOR - ECM)


    1. A01BCJME01

      Disconnect the D52 sensor connector.

    2. Disconnect the D3 and D1 ECM connectors.

    3. Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connectors.

      Standard resistance
      Tester Connection Specified Condition
      D52-3 (EGLS) - D3-33 (EGLS) Below 1 Ω
      D52-2 (E2) - D1-28 (E2) Below 1 Ω
      D52-3 (EGLS) or D3-33 (EGLS) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher
      D52-2 (E2) or D1-28 (E2) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher

    NG

    REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR

    OK

    REPLACE ECM
