DTC P042F (Flash Code 45) Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Open Position Performance (RZ4E-TC)

1. DTC P042F description

The ECM controls the opening position of the EGR valve based on the driving condition of the engine by controlling the EGR motor. The EGR valve lift amount is detected by the position sensor and is sent to the ECM. If the ECM detects a difference between the actual EGR valve position and the desired EGR valve position for a predetermined period of time with the EGR commanded ON, the DTC is set.

2. Condition for setting DTC P042F

Condition for running the DTC

  • The battery voltage is 9 to 16 V.
  • The ignition voltage is 9 to 16 V.
  • The ignition switch is ON.
  • The desired EGR valve opening position is 20% or more.
  • DTCs P0112, P0113, P0116, P0117, P0118, P0490, P060B, P0651, P1655, P2227, P2228, P2229, and U0001 are not set.

3. Action taken when DTC P042F sets

  • Euro4: The ECM illuminates the MIL. Refer to Action taken when DTC sets - Type A (Euro4).
  • Except Euro4: The ECM illuminates the check engine warning light. Refer to Action taken when DTC sets - Type A (Except Euro4).

Refer to "51.Engine Control 1A.Troubleshooting(RZ4E-TC) DTC type definitions".

  • The ECM limits the fuel injection quantity.
  • The ECM inhibits pre-injection.
  • The ECM limits the fuel rail pressure.
  • The ECM inhibits the cruise control.

4. Condition for clearing DTC P042F

  • Euro4: Refer to Condition for clearing the MIL/DTC - Type A or Type B (Euro4).
  • Except Euro4: Refer to Condition for clearing the check engine warning light/DTC - Type A or Type B (Except Euro4).
