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
DTC Detection Drive Pattern DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
Over a period of 10 seconds or more, slowly raise engine speed to 3000 rpm and lower it

The throttle motor activation duty is less than 10% or 90% or more for 30 seconds (1 trip detection logic).

Tech Tips

The throttle valve commanded duty can be read using the tester as the Data List item Throttle Motor Duty.

  • Throttle valve (for Bank 1) stuck

  • Throttle valve (for Bank 1) does not move smoothly

  • Open or short in throttle control motor (for Bank 1) circuit

  • ECM

Moment when accelerator pedal is depressed further or released at 3000 rpm Throttle valve opening angle varies smoothly

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

  • After warming up the engine, DTC P0488 and P213B can be stored when 1 second or more passes after quickly accelerating the engine from idling.

  • 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.

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (THROTTLE CONTROL MOTOR POWER SOURCE)


    1. A0155XBE06
