DTC P0400 EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION FLOW

DTC P0400 EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION FLOW

OUTLINE OF DIAGNOSIS

Detect the malfunction of EGR system.

Intake manifold pressure (negative pressure) is stable because the throttle valve is fully closed during the fuel shut-off in deceleration. In this case, the intake manifold pressure changes when EGR valve is opened or closed. Judge EGR system is OK or NG according to intake manifold pressure change amount.

GENERAL DRIVING CYCLE

Perform the diagnosis only once at the fuel shut-off in deceleration in vehicle speed more than 53 km/h (approx. 33 MPH). Pay attention to vehicle speed and engine speed. (The diagnosis is not completed if vehicle speed and engine speed are out of condition due to deceleration.)

DIAGNOSTIC METHOD

Measure the pressure in the following procedures when the enable conditions are completed, and then diagnosis by calculating the result.


1. PMOF1 is equal to the intake manifold pressure at enable condition completed, and EGR target step is set to 50 steps (almost fully opened).

2. PMON is equal to the intake manifold pressure in 1 second after EGR target step is set 50 steps (when enable conditions are completed), and EGR target step is set to 0 step.

3. PMOF2 is equal to the intake manifold pressure in 1 second after EGR target step is set to 0 step (in 2 seconds after enable conditions are completed).


Calculate the judged value using the following formula.

Judged value = [PMON - (PMOF1 + PMOF2)/2]

Judged value < 18.63 mmHg, 2.48 kPa (18.63 mmHg, 0.733 inHg) → NG

Judged value ≥ 2.48 kPa (18.63 mmHg, 0.733 inHg) → OK
