DTC P1217 OVERHEAT (COOLING SYSTEM)QG
Main 12 Causes of Overheating
EC-345

SEF599K
Component DescriptionNJEC0342The EGR temperature sensor detects temperature changes in the
EGR passageway. When the EGR volume control valve opens, hot
exhaust gases flow, and the temperature in the passageway
changes. The EGR temperature sensor is a thermistor that modi-
fies a voltage signal sent from the ECM. This modified signal then
returns to the ECM as an input signal. As the temperature
increases, EGR temperature sensor resistance decreases. This
sensor is not used to control the engine system.
It is used only for the on board diagnosis.

Do not use ECM ground terminals when measuring input/

DTC Confirmation ProcedureNJEC0351NOTE:
If ªDTC Confirmation Procedureº has been previously conducted,
always turn ignition switch ªOFFº and wait at least 9 seconds
before conducting the next test.
TESTING CONDITION:
+Always perform at a temperature above þ10ÉC (14ÉF).
+Engine coolant temperature and EGR temperature must
be verified in ªDATA MONITORº mode with CONSULT-II
before starting DTC WORK SUPPORT test. If it is out of
range below, the test cannot be conducted.
COOLAN TEMP/S: þ10 to 40ÉC (14 to 104ÉF)*
EGR TEMP SEN: Less than 4.8V
If the values are out of the ranges indicated above, park
the vehicle in a cool place and allow the engine tempera-
ture to stabilize. Do not attempt to reduce the engine cool-
ant or EGR temperature with a fan or means other than
ambient air. Doing so may produce an inaccurate diagnos-
tic result.
*: Although CONSULT-II screen displays ªþ10 to 40ÉC (14 to
104ÉF)º as a range of engine coolant temperature, ignore it.
With CONSULT-II
1) Turn ignition switch ªOFFº and wait at least 9 seconds, then
turn ignition switch ªONº.
2) Select ªEGR SYSTEM P1402º of ªEGR SYSTEMº in ªDTC
WORK SUPPORTº mode with CONSULT-II.
3) Touch ªSTARTº. Follow instruction of CONSULT-II.
4) Start engine and let it idle until ªTESTINGº on CONSULT-II
screen is turned to ªCOMPLETEDº. (It will take 45 seconds or
more.)
If ªTESTINGº is not displayed after 5 minutes, turn ignition
ªOFFº and cool the engine coolant temperature to the
range of þ10 to 40ÉC (14 to 104ÉF). Retry from step 1.
5) Make sure that ªOKº is displayed after touching ªSELF-DIAG
RESULTSº. If ªNGº is displayed, refer to ªDiagnostic
Procedureº, EC-358.

With GST
1) Turn ignition switch ªONº and select ªMODE 1º with GST.
2) Check that engine coolant temperature is within the range of
þ10 to 40ÉC (14 to 104ÉF).
3) Check that voltage between ECM terminal 72 (EGR tempera-
ture sensor signal) and ground is less than 4.8V.
4) Start engine and let it idle for at least 45 seconds.
5) Stop engine.
6) Perform from step 1 to 4.
7) Select ªMODE 3º with GST.
8) If DTC is detected, go to ªDiagnostic Procedureº, EC-358.
+When using GST, ªDTC Confirmation Procedureº should
be performed twice as much as when using CONSULT-II
because GST cannot display MODE 7 (1st trip DTC) con-
cerning this diagnosis. Therefore, using CONSULT-II is
recommended.
