DTC P0698 [WL-C, WE-C (Australian, European (L.H.D. U.K.) specs.)]


id0102c4956200

DTC P0698

EGR valve position sensor 5 V circuit low input

DETECTION CONDITION
•  The PCM monitors the EGR position sensor 5 V circuit. If the EGR position sensor power voltage is lower than 4.9 V, the PCM determines that there is a EGR position sensor 5 V circuit malfunction.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
•  Short to ground circuit between circuit in wiring between EGR position sensor terminal B and PCM terminal 108
•  EGR position sensor malfunction
•  PCM malfunction

Diagnostic procedure

STEP

INSPECTION

ACTION

1
VERIFY FREEZE FRAME DATA HAS BEEN RECORDED
•  Has the 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 SERVICE INFORMATION AVAILABILITY
•  Verify related service information availability.
•  Is any related service information available?
Yes
Perform repair or diagnosis according to the available service 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 POSITION SENSOR CONNECTOR FOR POOR CONNECTION
•  Turn the engine switch off.
•  Disconnect the EGR position sensor connector.
•  Inspect for poor connection (such as damaged/pulled-out pins, corrosion).
•  Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Repair or replace the terminal, then go to Step 9.
No
Go to the next step.
5
CLASSIFY EGR POSITION SENSOR OR HARNESS RELATED MALFUNCTION
•  Disconnect the EGR position sensor connector.
•  Turn the engine switch to the ON position (Engine off).
•  Measure the voltage between the EGR position sensor terminal B (wiring harness-side) and body ground.
•  Is the voltage 4.9 V or less?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Go to Step 8.
6
INSPECT PCM CONNECTOR FOR POOR CONNECTION
•  Turn the engine switch off.
•  Disconnect the PCM connector.
•  Inspect for poor connection (such as damaged/pulled-out pins, corrosion).
•  Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Repair or replace the terminal, then go to the next step.
No
Go to the next step.
7
INSPECT EGR POSITION SENSOR CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO GROUND
•  Turn the engine switch off.
•  Inspect for continuity between the EGR position sensor terminal B (wiring harness-side) and body ground.
•  Is there continuity?
Yes
Repair or replace the wiring harness for a possible short to ground, then go to Step 9.
No
Go to Step 9.
8
INSPECT EGR POSITION SENSOR
•  Inspect the EGR position sensor.
•  Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Replace the EGR position sensor, then go to the next step.
No
Go to the next step.
9
VERIFY TROUBLESHOOTING OF DTC P0698 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.
•  Run the vehicle under the FREEZE FRAME DATA stored condition.
•  Is the same DTC present?
Yes
Replace PCM, then go to the next step.
No
Go to the next step.
10
VERIFY AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE
•  Perform the “After Repair Procedure“.
•  Are any DTCs present?
Yes
Go to the applicable DTC inspection.
No
DTC troubleshooting completed.
