DTC P0403 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 FREEZE FRAME DATA on the repair order, then go to the next step.
2 VERIFY RELATED REPAIR INFORMATION AVAILABILITY 
  • Check for related Service Bulletins and/or online repair information availability.
  • Is any related repair information available?
Yes Perform the 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 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.
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.
No Repair or replace the wiring harness for an open circuit then go to Step 10.
5 INSPECT EGR VALVE 
Yes Go to the next step.
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.
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.
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.
No Go to the next step.
9 INSPECT CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT 
  • Remove the PCM with PCM connector connected.
  • Inspect for continuity between the following terminals (harness-side):
    • Between EGR valve terminal E and PCM terminal 4D
    • Between EGR valve terminal A and PCM terminal 4G
    • Between EGR valve terminal B and PCM terminal 4J
    • Between EGR valve terminal F and PCM terminal 4M
  • Is there continuity?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Repair or replace harness for open circuit then go to the next step.
10 VERIFY TROUBLESHOOTING OF DTC P0403 COMPLETED 
  • Make sure to reconnect all disconnected connectors.
  • Clear the DTC from the PCM memory using the WDS or equivalent.
  • Turn the ignition switch off.
  • Start the engine and warm it up completely.
  • Is the PENDING CODE for this DTC present?
Yes Replace the PCM, then go to the next step.
(See PCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ).
No Go to the next step.
11 VERIFY AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE 
Yes Go to the applicable DTC inspection.
(See DTC TABLE ).
