ECD SYSTEM (for CCo), Diagnostic DTC:P0405, P0406

DTC Code DTC Name
P0405 Exhaust Gas Recirculation Sensor "A" Circuit Low
P0406 Exhaust Gas Recirculation Sensor "A" Circuit High

DESCRIPTION

The EGR valve position sensor is mounted on the EGR valve and used for detecting the EGR valve angle. The EGR valve angle detected by the sensor is sent to the ECM as feedback. The ECM then regulates the EGR valve angle in accordance with engine running conditions.

P0405
DTC Detection Drive Pattern DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
Ignition switch ON for 5 seconds

EGR valve position sensor output voltage is less than 0.1 V for 5 seconds.

(1 trip detection logic)

  • Open or short in EGR valve position sensor circuit

  • EGR valve assembly (EGR valve position sensor)

  • ECM
P0406
DTC Detection Drive Pattern DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
Ignition switch ON for 5 seconds

EGR valve position sensor output voltage is higher than 4.9 V for 5 seconds.

(1 trip detection logic)

  • Open or short in EGR valve position sensor circuit

  • EGR valve assembly (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.

      (to ECM)

      Disconnect the EGR valve assembly connector.

    2. Disconnect the ECM connector.

    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance (Check for Open)
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      z15-2 (VC) - B39-94 (VCEG) Always Below 1 Ω
      z15-4 (VTA) - B39-118 (EGLS) Always Below 1 Ω
      z15-3 (E2) - B39-95 (EEGL) Always Below 1 Ω
      Standard Resistance (Check for Short)
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      z15-2 (VC) or B39-94 (VCEG) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      z15-4 (VTA) or B39-118 (EGLS) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

    4. Reconnect the EGR valve assembly connector.

    5. Reconnect the ECM connector.
