ECD SYSTEM(w/o DPF), Diagnostic DTC:P0488, P213B

DTC Code DTC Name
P0488 Exhaust Gas Recirculation Throttle Position Control Range / Performance
P213B 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 (Bank 1), P213B (Bank 2)
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.

Target and actual opening angle of the throttle valve differs for approximately 20 seconds.

(1 trip detection logic)


  • Throttle valve stuck

  • Throttle valve does not move smoothly

  • Open or short in throttle control motor circuit

  • ECM

The throttle motor activation duty exceeds the threshold for 0.5 seconds a certain number of times (40 seconds or more).

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. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING GTS (DIESEL THROTTLE TARGET ANGLE)


    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the GTS on.

    3. Enter the following menus: Engine and ECT / Active Test / Diesel Throttle Target Angle or Diesel Throttle Target Angle #2.

    4. While continuously changing the Active Test value to 0, 30, 60, 90, 60, 30 and 0%, check that "Actual Throttle Position" or "Actual Throttle Position #2" smoothly changes to the set opening amount.

      OK
      Value smoothly changes to set opening amount.

    OK
    NG
  2. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (THROTTLE CONTROL MOTOR POWER SOURCE)
