DTC P0401-9C: Exhaust Gas Recirculation "A" Low / Insufficient Flow [06/2020 - 08/2020]: Description

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

Based on the driving conditions, the ECM regulates the volume of exhaust gas that is recirculated to each engine cylinder in order to lower the combustion temperature and reduce NOx emissions. The ECM monitors signals such as engine speed, engine coolant temperature, electric load, and vehicle speed. When the EGR permission conditions are met, the ECM controls the opening of the EGR valve linearly through signals to the EGR step motor.
