|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| P0403 | Exhaust Gas Recirculation Control Circuit | Both of the following conditions are met: (1 trip detection logic)
|
| Comes on | DTC stored |
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
This DTC is stored if an open or short in the EGR valve assembly circuit is detected.
Example:
- If the EGR1, EGR2, EGR3 or EGR4 terminal output voltage is excessively low, but the step motor is still operating, the ECM determines that there is a short in the EGR valve assembly circuit, and stores this DTC.
- If the EGR1, EGR2, EGR3 or EGR4 terminal output voltage is excessively low, and the step motor is not operating, the ECM determines that there is an open in the EGR valve assembly circuit, and stores this DTC.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
NOTICE:
Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following procedure.
HINT:
Read freeze frame data using the Techstream. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
PROCEDURE
| 1. | PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM (CONTROL THE EGR STEP POSITION) |
(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the power switch on (IG).
(c) Turn the Techstream on.
(d) Put the engine in inspection mode (maintenance mode).

| Inspection Mode |
(e) Start the engine and warm it up until the engine coolant temperature reaches 75°C (167°F) or higher.
HINT:
The A/C switch and all accessory switches should be off.
(f) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test / Control the EGR Step Position / Primary / MAP and Throttle Idle Position.
Powertrain > Engine and ECT > Active Test| Active Test Display |
|---|
| Control the EGR Step Position |
| Data List Display |
|---|
| MAP |
| Throttle Idle Position |
(g) Confirm that the Throttle Idle Position is ON and check the MAP values in the Data List while performing the Active Test.
HINT:
- Do not leave the EGR valve open for 10 seconds or more during the Active Test.
- Be sure to return the EGR valve to step 0 when the Active Test is completed.
- Do not open the EGR valve 30 steps or more during the Active Test.
OK:
MAP change in response to EGR step position when Throttle Idle Position is ON in Data List.
Standard:
| - | EGR Step Position (Active Test) | |
|---|---|---|
| 0 Steps | 0 to 30 Steps | |
| MAP (Data List) | (EGR valve is fully closed) | MAP value is at least +10 kPa (75 mmHg) higher than when EGR valve is fully closed |
HINT:
- While performing the Active Test, if the increase in the value of MAP is small, the EGR valve assembly may be a malfunctioning.
- Even if the EGR valve assembly is malfunctioning, rough idling or an increase in the value of MAP may occur while performing the Active Test. However, the amount that the value of MAP increases will be smaller than normal.
