DTC P0401 Exhaust Gas Recirculation Flow Insufficient
Detected
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The EGR system recirculates exhaust gas, which is controlled to the proper quantity to suit the driving condi-
tions, into the intake air mixture to slow down combustion, reduce the combustion temperature and reduce
NOx emissions. The amount of EGR is regulated by the EGR vacuum modulator according to the engine
load.
If even one the following conditions is fulfilled, the VSV is turned
ON by a signal from ECM. This results in atmospheric air acting
on the EGR valve, closing the EGR valve and shutting off the
exhaust gas (EGR cut−off).
Before the engine is warmed up
During deceleration (throttle valve closed) .
Light engine load (amount of intake air very small).
Engine idling.
Engine speed over 4,400 rpm.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
If DTC P0441, P0446 or P0450 is output after DTC P0440, first troubleshoot DTC P0441, P0446 or
P0450. If no malfunction is detected, troubleshoot DTC P0440 next.
Ask the customer whether, after the MIL came on, the customer found the fuel tank cap loose and tight-
ened it. Also ask the customer whether the fuel tank cap was loose when refuelling.
If the fuel tank cap was loose, it was the cause of the DTC. If the fuel tank cap was not loose or if the
customer was not sure if it was loose, troubleshoot according to the following procedure.

Stop Light Switch Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The purpose of this circuit is to prevent the engine from stalling, while driving in lock−up condition, when
brakes are suddenly applied.
When the brake pedal is operated, this switch sends a signal to ECM. Then the ECM cancels of the lock−up
clutch while braking is in progress.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1 Check operation of stop light.
CHECK:
Check if the stop lights go on and off normally when the brake pedal is operated and released.
