| 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.
| DTC Detection Drive Pattern | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
|---|---|---|
| Ignition switch ON for 5 seconds | EGR valve position sensor output voltage is less than 0.2 V for 2 seconds. (1 trip detection logic) |

| DTC Detection Drive Pattern | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
|---|---|---|
| Ignition switch ON for 5 seconds | EGR valve position sensor output voltage is higher than 4.8 V for 2 seconds. (1 trip detection logic) |
|
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.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
After replacing the ECM, the new ECM needs registration (Click here) and initialization (Click here).
PROCEDURE
CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (EGR VALVE POSITION SENSOR - ECM)
Disconnect the EGR valve assembly connector.
Disconnect the ECM connector.
Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
| Standard Resistance (Check for Open) | ||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
| Standard Resistance (Check for Short) | |||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| *1 | Front view of wire harness connector (to Electric EGR Valve Assembly) |
| *2 | Front view of wire harness connector (to ECM) |
Reconnect the EGR valve assembly connector.
Reconnect the ECM connector.
CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (POWER SOURCE)
Disconnect the EGR valve assembly connector.
Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
| Standard Voltage | ||||||

| *1 | Front view of wire harness connector (to Electric EGR Valve Assembly) |
Reconnect the EGR valve assembly connector.
REPLACE EGR VALVE ASSEMBLY
Replace the EGR valve assembly (Click here).
CHECK WHETHER DTC OUTPUT RECURS (P0405 OR P0406)
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Clear the DTCs (Click here).
Turn the ignition switch to ON for 5 seconds or more.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / DTC.
Confirm that the DTC is not output again.
| OK |

REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
Repair or replace the harness or connector.
CONFIRM WHETHER MALFUNCTION HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY REPAIRED
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Clear the DTCs (Click here).
Turn the ignition switch to ON for 5 seconds or more.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / DTC.
Confirm that the DTC is not output again.
