ECD SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:P0488

DTC Code DTC Name
P0488 Exhaust Gas Recirculation Throttle Position Control Range / Performance

DESCRIPTION

The ECM opens and closes the throttle valve using a rotary solenoid type actuator. Due to the opening and closing of the valve, the exhaust gas recirculation volume can be properly controlled. Also, engine vibration and noise will be reduced by closing the valve when the engine is stopped.

P0488
DTC Detection Drive Pattern DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
Perform the following repeatedly for 1 minute: gradually raise the engine speed to 3000 rpm from idling over approximately 10 seconds, and then release the accelerator pedal to return to an idling state. The throttle motor activation duty is more than a specified value for 30 seconds (1 trip detection logic).

  • Throttle valve stuck

  • Throttle valve does not move smoothly

  • Open or short in throttle control motor circuit

  • ECM

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The ECM opens and closes the throttle valve by adjusting the current flowing to the rotary solenoid with a duty ratio. If the throttle valve does not move smoothly or is stuck, the duty ratio used during valve movement control increases or decreases greatly. The ECM will determine that the throttle valve is malfunctioning and illuminate the MIL.

Tech Tips


  • Although the DTC titles say exhaust gas recirculation throttle position control Range / Performance, these DTCs relate to the throttle valve

  • Read freeze frame data using the GTS. 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 (THROTTLE CONTROL MOTOR POWER SOURCE)

  3. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (THROTTLE CONTROL MOTOR - ECM)


    1. Disconnect the throttle control motor 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
      D48-1 (RSO) - D105-78 (LUSL) Always Below 1 Ω
      D48-1 (RSO) or D105-78 (LUSL) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

    4. Reconnect the throttle control motor connector.

    5. Reconnect the ECM connector.

  5. CHECK WHETHER DTC OUTPUT RECURS (DTC P0488)


    1. Clear the DTCs Click here.

    2. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    3. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the GTS on.

    4. Start the engine.

    5. Over a period of 10 seconds or more, slowly raise the engine speed to 3000 rpm and lower it.

    6. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes.

    7. Read the DTCs.

      Result

  9. CONFIRM WHETHER MALFUNCTION HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY REPAIRED


    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Clear the DTCs Click here.

    3. Turn the ignition switch off and wait for 30 seconds or more.

    4. Start the engine.

    5. Over a period of 10 seconds or more, slowly raise the engine speed to 3000 rpm, and then lower it.

    6. Confirm that the DTC is not output again.

      Tech Tips

      Perform the following procedure using the GTS to determine whether or not the DTC judgment has been carried out.


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

      2. Input DTC P0488.

      3. Check that STATUS is NORMAL. If STATUS is INCOMPLETE or N/A, over a period of 10 seconds or more, slowly raise the engine speed to 3000 rpm again, and then idle the engine for 5 minutes.
