DTC Troubleshooting: P0404 (12)

DTC P0404:
EGR Control Circuit Range/Performance Problem
NOTE: Before you troubleshoot, record all freeze data and any on-board snapshot, and review the general troubleshooting information.

1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).

1. Clear the DTC with the HDS.

1. Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3,000 rpm (min −1 ) without load (A/T in P or N, M/T in neutral) until the radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.

1. Do the EGR TEST in the INSPECTION MENU with the HDS.

Is the result OK?

YES | - | Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Clean any carbon build-up on the EGR valve with throttle plate and induction cleaner.■
NO | - | Go to Step 5 .

1. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).

1. Disconnect the EGR valve 6P connector.

1. At the EGR valve side, measure the resistance between EGR valve 6P connector terminals No. 1 and No. 2.

Is there 100 kΩ or more?

YES | - | Go to Step 25 .
NO | - | Go to Step 8 .

1. Measure the resistance between EGR valve 6P connector terminals No. 1 and No. 3.

Is there 100 kΩ or more?

YES | - | Go to Step 25 .
NO | - | Go to Step 9 .

1. Check for continuity between EGR valve 6P connector terminal No. 6 and body ground.

Is there continuity?

YES | - | Go to Step 10 .
NO | - | Repair open in the wire between the EGR valve and G101; A/T, M/T, then go to Step 26 .

1. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.

1. Disconnect ECM/PCM connector B (44P).

1. Check for continuity between ECM/PCM connector terminal B2 and body ground.

Is there continuity?

YES | - | Repair short in the wire between the ECM/PCM (B2) and the EGR valve, then go to Step 26 .
NO | - | Go to Step 13 .

1. Check for continuity between ECM/PCM connector terminal B2 and EGR valve 6P connector terminal No. 4.

Is there continuity?

YES | - | Go to Step 14 .
NO | - | Repair open in the wire between the ECM/PCM (B2) and the EGR valve, then go to Step 26 .

1. Remove the EGR valve.

1. Clean the intake manifold EGR port and the EGR pipe with throttle plate and induction cleaner. Also, clean the passage inside the EGR valve with throttle plate and induction cleaner.

1. Install the EGR valve.

1. Reconnect the EGR valve 6P connector.

1. Reconnect ECM/PCM connector B (44P).

1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).

1. Reset the ECM/PCM with the HDS.

1. Do the ECM/PCM idle learn procedure.

1. Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3,000 rpm (min −1 ) without load (A/T in P or N, M/T in neutral) until the radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.

1. Do the EGR TEST in the INSPECTION MENU with the HDS.

Is the result OK?

YES | - | Go to Step 32 .
NO | - | Go to Step 24 .

1. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).

1. Replace the EGR valve.

1. Reconnect all connectors.

1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).

1. Reset the ECM/PCM with the HDS.

1. Do the ECM/PCM idle learn procedure.

1. Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3,000 rpm (min −1 ) without load (A/T in P or N, M/T in neutral) until the radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.

1. Do the EGR TEST in the INSPECTION MENU with the HDS.

1. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.

Is DTC P0404 indicated?

YES | - | Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the EGR valve and the ECM/PCM, then go to Step 1 . If the connections and terminals are OK, go to Step 34 .
NO | - | Go to Step 33 .

1. Monitor the OBD STATUS for DTC P0404 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.

Does the screen indicate PASSED?

YES | - | Troubleshooting is complete. If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs were indicated in Step 32 , go to the indicated DTC's troubleshooting.■
NO | - | If the screen indicates FAILED, check for poor connections or loose terminals at the EGR valve and the ECM/PCM, then go to Step 1 . If the screen indicates EXECUTING, keep testing until a result comes on. If the screen indicates OUT OF CONDITION or NOT COMPLETED, go to Step 30 .

1. Reconnect all connectors.

1. Update the ECM/PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good ECM/PCM.

1. Do the EGR TEST in the INSPECTION MENU with the HDS.

1. Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.

Is DTC P0404 indicated?

YES | - | Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the EGR valve and the ECM/PCM. If the ECM/PCM was updated, substitute a known-good ECM/PCM, then go to Step 36 . If the ECM/PCM was substituted, go to Step 1 .
NO | - | Go to Step 38 .

1. Monitor the OBD STATUS for DTC P0404 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.

Does the screen indicate PASSED?

YES | - | If the ECM/PCM was updated, troubleshooting is complete. If the ECM/PCM was substituted, replace the original ECM/PCM. If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs were indicated in Step 37 , go to the indicated DTC's troubleshooting.■
NO | - | If the screen indicates FAILED, check for poor connections or loose terminals at the EGR valve and the ECM/PCM. If the ECM/PCM was updated, substitute a known-good ECM/PCM, then go to Step 36 . If the ECM/PCM was substituted, go to Step 1 . If the screen indicates EXECUTING, keep testing until a result comes on. If the screen indicates OUT OF CONDITION or NOT COMPLETED, go to Step 36 .
