ECD SYSTEM (w/o DPF), Diagnostic DTC:P0405, P0406, P0407, P0408

DTC Code DTC Name
P0405 Exhaust Gas Recirculation Sensor "A" Circuit Low
P0406 Exhaust Gas Recirculation Sensor "A" Circuit High
P0407 Exhaust Gas Recirculation Sensor "B" Circuit Low
P0408 Exhaust Gas Recirculation Sensor "B" 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 conditions.

  • No. 2 EGR valve (EGR valve position sensor)

  • ECM

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

When the output voltage of the EGR valve position sensor deviates from the normal operating range of 0.1 to 4.9 V for more than 5 seconds, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction of the sensor circuit, and illuminates the MIL.

Tech Tips


  • Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. 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.

  • Data List items "EGR Lift Sensor Volt %" and "EGR Lift Sensor Volt % #2" are values calculated by converting the EGR position sensor output voltage of 0 to 5 V to a percentage from 0 to 100%.

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (POWER SOURCE)
