| DTC Code | DTC Name |
|---|---|
| P1212 | Short Circuit to Battery Error |
| P1213 | Short Circuit to Ground Error |
DESCRIPTION
The EGR system recirculates exhaust gases in a way that suits every driving condition. The recirculated gas mixes with intake air. Therefore, the EGR system can slow combustion speed and keep the combustion temperature down. This helps reduce NOx emission.
In order to increase EGR circulation efficiency, the ECM adjusts the lift amount of the EGR valve and the throttle valve angle.
| DTC No. | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
Note
When replacing the ECM, the ECM needs Registration and Initialization Click here.
Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.
Tech Tips
When the ECM must be replaced, before replacing the ECM, perform the "Learning Values Save" function using the GTS. Then after installing the new ECM, perform all of the initialization/registrations for the "Learning Values Write" function by following the instructions shown on the GTS display.
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
CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (VACUUM SWITCHING VALVE ASSEMBLY - ECM)
Disconnect the vacuum switching valve assembly connector.
Disconnect the ECM connector.
Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
| Standard Resistance | |||||||||

CHECK TERMINAL VOLTAGE (POWER SOURCE)
Disconnect the vacuum switching valve assembly connector.
Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
| Standard Voltage | ||||||

CHECK WHETHER DTC OUTPUT RECURS (DTC P1212 OR P1213)
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the GTS on.
Clear the DTCs Click here.
Turn the ignition switch off and wait for 60 seconds or more [A].
Turn the ignition switch to ON and wait for 15 seconds or more [B].
Repeat [A] and [B] for the number of trips detected.
Enter the following menus: Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes.
Read the DTCs.
