ECD SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:P1461
| DTC Code | DTC Name |
|---|---|
| P1461 | Position of EGR Valve Out of Range |
DESCRIPTION
-
The ECM adjusts the opening angle of the EGR valve and throttle valve (for EGR) to control the EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) amount to reduce emissions.
-
When the EGR valve is closed, there is no EGR flow. (fig. 1)
-
When the EGR valve is opened, exhaust gas flows to the intake manifold. (fig. 2)
-
The EGR valve is normally closed by a return spring. However, a control signal forces the valve to close when the opening becomes lower than 10%.
| DTC No. | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area | Possible to Detect | |

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
Tech Tips
-
If the ECM is replaced, variant coding (variant coding indicates the presence of vehicle accessory items, A/C, etc.) should always be performed Click here.
-
Before removing the ECM and the peripheral parts, wait at least 3 minute after turning the ignition switch off (If the cooling fan is operating, remove the ECM and the peripheral parts after the fan stops.).
PROCEDURE
-
CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (EGR VALVE - ECM)
-
Disconnect the B53 ECM connector.
-
Disconnect the B39 EGR valve connector.
-
Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard resistance Check for open Tester Connection Specified Condition VEGLS (B53-4) - VEGLS (B39-1) Below 1 Ω EGLS (B53-23) - EGLS (B39-4) Below 1 Ω EEGLS (B53-36) - EEGLS (B39-5) Below 1 Ω Check for short Tester Connection Specified Condition VEGLS (B53-4) or VEGLS (B39-1) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher EGLS (B53-23) or EGLS (B39-4) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher EEGLS (B53-36) or EEGLS (B39-5) - Body ground 10 kΩ or higher
