DTC P0400-00: Exhaust Gas Recirculation "A" Flow; DTC P0401-9C: Exhaust Gas Recirculation "A" Low / Insufficient Flow; DTC P0402-9B: Exhaust Gas Recirculation "A" High/Excessive Flow [11/2018 - 08/2020]: Description

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.

DTC No. Detection Item DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area MIL Memory Note
P0400-00 Exhaust Gas Recirculation "A" Flow During fuel cut, when the change in intake manifold pressure when the EGR valve assembly is operating and when not operating is insufficient (2 trip detection logic).
  • EGR valve assembly
  • EGR passage
  • EGR cooler assembly
  • Intake system
  • Manifold absolute pressure sensor
Comes on DTC stored SAE Code: P0400
P0401-9C Exhaust Gas Recirculation "A" Low / Insufficient Flow During fuel cut, when the change in intake manifold pressure when the EGR valve assembly is operating and when not operating is insufficient, the intake manifold pressure is less than 31.99 (4.64 psi) kPa when the EGR valve assembly is not operating (1 trip detection logic).
  • EGR valve assembly
  • EGR passage
  • EGR cooler assembly
  • Manifold absolute pressure sensor
Comes on DTC stored SAE Code: P0401
P0402-9B Exhaust Gas Recirculation "A" High/Excessive Flow During fuel cut, when the change in intake manifold pressure when the EGR valve assembly is operating and not operating is insufficient, the intake manifold pressure is 31.99 kPa (4.64 psi) or more when the EGR valve assembly is not operating (1 trip detection logic).
  • EGR valve assembly
  • EGR passage
  • Intake system
  • Manifold absolute pressure sensor
Comes on DTC stored SAE Code: P0402

HINT: 

DTC P0401-9C or DTC P0402-9B will only be stored when DTC P0400-00 is stored in the second trip.
