P0401, P0402


P0401 EGR Flow too Low.

P0402 EGR Flow too High.


Fault symptoms


• CHECK ENGINE lamp on.

• Loss of performance.

• Limp home.

• Cruise Control does not work.


Conditions

Diagnosis active up to 2000 rpm.

The following conditions apply for this DTC:


• P0401: The flow of exhaust gas through the EGR valve is so low that a control deviation of more than 75 mg air/combustion has been present for more than 12 seconds.

• P0402: The flow of exhaust gas through the EGR valve is so high that a control deviation of more than 75 mg air/combustion has been present for more than 12 seconds.


Diagnostic help

Using the diagnostic tool, adjust the EGR control up and down.

The DTC indicates the presence of a mechanical fault. A leak anywhere in the intake system or vacuum system can generate the DTC.

In the event of a fault, boost pressure control is disengaged.


• P0401: DTC indicates air leakage between the turbo and the intake manifold.

• P0402: DTC indicates air leakage between the mass air flow sensor and the turbo (including crankcase ventilation hose).


A defective mass air flow sensor can generate both DTCs.

Important

The EGR valve will close after one minute at idling speed. The diagnosis is active during EGR regulation.
