CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The engine control module (ECM) monitors the EGR
valve pintle position input to ensure that the valve
responds properly to commands from the PCM, and to
detect a fault if pintle position is differen
t
fromcommanded position.
DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
Check for the following conditions:

Excessive carbon deposit on EGR valve shaf
t
maycause EGR stuck open or unsmooth operation.
Those carbon deposit may occur by unusual
portoperation. Clean up carbon may make
smoothfunction of EGR valve.


Poor connection or damaged harness Inspec
t
thewiring harness for damage. If the harness
appears to be OK, observe the EGR actual position
display on the Tech 2 while moving connectors and
wiring harnesses related to EGR valve. A change in
the display will indicate the location of the fault.

Condition For Setting The DTC and Action Taken When The DTC Sets
Flash
Code Code Type DTC Name DTC Setting Condition Fail-Safe (Back Up)
32 P0405 B EGR Circuit Low 1. No DTC relating to EGR circuit range/performance.
2. EGR solenoid valve on-duty ratio is more than 40%.
3. EGR position sensor output voltage is below 0.3V. No fail-safe function.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The engine control module (ECM) monitors the EGR
valve pintle position input to ensure that the valve
responds properly to command from the ECM. If curren
t
pintle position voltage indicates less than 0.3 V the ECM
will set DTC P0405.

DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
Check for the following conditions:
 Poor connection or damaged harness –Inspect the
wiring harness for damage. If the harness appears to
be OK, observe the EGR actual position display on
the Tech 2 while moving connectors and wiring
harnesses related to EGR valve. A change in the
display will indicate the location of the fault.
