DTC P0403

EGR valve (stepper motor) circuit malfunction

DETECTION CONDITION

•  PCM monitors the input voltage from the EGR valve. If the voltage remain low or high, the PCM determines that the EGR valve circuit has a malfunction.

Diagnostic support note

•  This is a continuous monitor (CCM).

•  MIL illuminates if the PCM detects above malfunction condition in two consecutive drive cycles or in one drive cycle while the DTC for the same malfunction has been stored in the PCM.

•  PENDING CODE is available if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition during first drive cycle.

•  FREEZE FRAME DATA is not available.

•  DTCs are not stored in the PCM memory.

POSSIBLE CAUSE

•  EGR valve malfunction

•  Connector or terminal malfunction

•  Short to the power supply in the wiring harness between EGR valve terminal E and PCM terminal 2AQ

•  Short to the power supply in the wiring harness between EGR valve terminal A and PCM terminal 2AM

•  Short to the power supply in the wiring harness between EGR valve terminal B and PCM terminal 2AR

•  Short to the power supply in the wiring harness between EGR valve terminal F and PCM terminal 2AN

•  Short to ground circuit in wiring harness between EGR valve terminal E and PCM terminal 2AQ

•  Short to ground circuit in wiring harness between EGR valve terminal A and PCM terminal 2AM

•  Short to ground circuit in wiring harness between EGR valve terminal B and PCM terminal 2AR

•  Short to ground circuit in wiring harness between EGR valve terminal F and PCM terminal 2AN

•  Open circuit in the wiring harness between EGR valve terminal E and PCM terminal 2AQ

•  Open circuit in the wiring harness between EGR valve terminal A and PCM terminal 2AM

•  Open circuit in the wiring harness between EGR valve terminal B and PCM terminal 2AR

•  Open circuit in the wiring harness between EGR valve terminal F and PCM terminal 2AN

•  Open circuit in the wiring harness between main relay and EGR valve terminal C

•  Open circuit in the wiring harness between main relay and EGR valve terminal D

•  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.
1		No	Record 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 the repair or diagnosis according to the available Service Information. • If the vehicle is not repaired, go to the next step.
2		No	Go to the next step.
3	INSPECT EGR VALVE CONNECTOR FOR POOR CONNECTION • Turn the ignition switch off. • Disconnect the EGR valve connector. • Inspect for poor connection (such as damaged/pulled-out pins, corrosion). • Is there any malfunction?	Yes	Repair or replace the terminals and/or connector, then go to Step 10.
3		No	Go to the next step.
4	INSPECT POWER CIRCUIT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT • Turn ignition switch to the ON position (Engine off). • Measure the voltage following the terminal and body ground. ― EGR valve terminal C (harness-side) ― EGR valve terminal D (harness-side) • Is voltage B+?	Yes	Go to the next step.
4		No	Repair or replace the wiring harness for an open circuit then go to Step 10.
5	INSPECT EGR VALVE • Perform the EGR valve inspection. (See EGR VALVE INSPECTION[L3 Turbo].) • Is the EGR valve normal?	Yes	Go to the next step.
5		No	Replace the EGR valve, then go to Step 10.
6	INSPECT FOR CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO GROUND • Turn the ignition switch off. • Inspect for continuity between the following terminals and body ground: ― EGR valve terminal E (harness-side) ― EGR valve terminal A (harness-side) ― EGR valve terminal B (harness-side) ― EGR valve terminal F (harness-side) • is there continuity?	Yes	Repair or replace the wiring harness for a short to ground, then go to Step 10.
6		No	Go to the next step.
7	INSPECT FOR CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO POWER SUPPLY • Turn the ignition switch to the ON position (Engine off). • Measure the voltage between the following terminals and body ground: ― EGR valve terminal E (harness-side) ― EGR valve terminal A (harness-side) ― EGR valve terminal B (harness-side) ― EGR valve terminal F (harness-side) • Is voltage B+?	Yes	Repair or replace wiring harness for a short to power supply, then go to Step 10.
7		No	Go to the next step.
8	INSPECT PCM CONNECTOR FOR POOR CONNECTION • Turn the ignition switch off. • Disconnect PCM connector. • Inspect for poor connection (such as damaged/pulled-out pins, corrosion). • Is there any malfunction?	Yes	Repair or replace the terminals and/or connector, then go to Step 10.
8		No	Go to the next step.
