DTC P2144 [WL-C, WE-C (Thailand, General (L.H.D. R.H.D.) specs.)]
id0102b0952600
DTC P2144 |
EGR control solenoid valve control circuit low input |
---|---|
DETECTION CONDITION
|
• The PCM monitors the EGR control solenoid valve control signal. If the PCM turns the EGR control solenoid valve off but the voltage remains low, the PCM determines that the EGR control solenoid valve circuit has a malfunction (circuit short to ground).
|
POSSIBLE CAUSE
|
• EGR control solenoid valve malfunction
• Short to ground in wiring harness between EGR control solenoid valve terminal B and PCM terminal 177
• Connector or terminal malfunction
• PCM malfunction

ACTION |
|
---|---|---|---|
1
|
VERIFY FREEZE FRAME DATA HAS BEEN RECORDED
• Has FREEZE FRAME DATA been recorded?
|
Yes
|
Go to the next step.
|
No
|
Record the FREEZE FRAME DATA on the repair order, then go to the next step.
|
||
2
|
VERIFY RELATED REPAIR INFORMATION AVAILABILITY
• Verify related service repair information availability.
• Is any related repair information available?
|
Yes
|
Perform repair or diagnosis according to the available repair information.
• If the vehicle is not repaired, go to the next step.
|
No
|
Go to the next step.
|
||
3
|
VERIFY CURRENT SIGNAL STATUS: IS CONCERN INTERMITTENT OR CONSTANT?
• Connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2.
• Clear the DTC from the PCM memory using the M-MDS.
• Run the vehicle under the FREEZE FRAME DATA stored condition.
• Is the same DTC present?
|
Yes
|
Go to the next step.
|
No
|
Intermittent concern exists.
Perform the “INTERMITTENT CONCERNS TROUBLESHOOTING”.

4
|
INSPECT EGR CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE CONNECTOR FOR POOR CONNECTION
• Turn the engine switch off.
• Disconnect the EGR control solenoid valve connector.
• Inspect for poor connection (damaged/pulled-out pins, corrosion, etc.).
• Is there malfunction?
|
Yes
|
Repair or replace the terminal, then go to Step 8.
|
No
|
Go to the next step.
|
||
5
|
INSPECT EGR CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE MALFUNCTION
• Perform EGR control solenoid valve inspection.
• Is EGR control solenoid valve normal?
|
Yes
|
Go to the next step.
|
No
|
Replace the EGR control solenoid valve, then go to step 8.
|
||
6
|
INSPECT EGR CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO GROUND
• Inspect for continuity between EGR control solenoid valve terminal B (wiring harness-side) and body ground.
• Is there continuity?
|
Yes
|
Repair or replace the wiring harness for short to ground, then go to Step 8.
|
No
|
Go to the next step.
|
||
7
|
INSPECT PCM CONNECTOR FOR POOR CONNECTION
• Disconnect the PCM connector.
• Inspect for poor connection at terminal 177. (damaged/pulled-out pins, corrosion, etc.).
• Is there malfunction?
|
Yes
|
Repair the terminal, then go to the next step.
|
No
|
Go to the next step.
|
||
8
|
VERIFY TROUBLESHOOTING OF DTC P2144 COMPLETED
• Turn the engine switch off.
• Make sure to reconnect all disconnected connectors.
• Turn the engine switch to the ON position (Engine off).
• Clear the DTC from the memory using the M-MDS.
• Start the engine.
• Retrieve DTCs using the M-MDS.
• Is the PENDING CODE for this DTC present?
|
Yes
|
Replace the PCM, then go to the next step.
|
No
|
Go to the next step.
|
||
9
|
VERIFY AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE
