6E-152 Engine Control System (4JH1)
DTC P0400 (Symptom Code 5) (Flash Code 32)
Circuit Description
The engine control module (ECM) controls the exhaust
gas recirculation (EGR) flow amount based on the
engine speed, engine coolant temperature, intake ai
r
temperature, barometric pressure and fuel injection
quantity. The ECM controls the EGR valve b
y
controlling the EGR solenoid valve. The mass air flo
w
(MAF) sensor monitors EGR gas flow amount. An
expected MAF amount should be detected while the
engine running. If the ECM detects the actual MAF
amount is higher than desired MAF amount, this DTC
will set. This indicates insufficient amount of EGR gas
flow.
Condition for Running the DTC
• The ignition switch is ON.
• The engine is running.
• The barometric pressure (BARO) is between 850
hPa and 1100 hPa.
• The intake air temperature (IAT) is between 15°C
(59°F) and 100°C (212°F).
• The ECT is between 35°C (95°F) and 100°C
(211°F).
Condition for Setting the DTC
• The ECM detects that the MAF amount is 150
mg/strk higher than the desired MAF for 60
seconds. This indicates insufficient amount o
f
EGR flow.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets

• The ECM illuminates the malfunction indicato
r
lamp (MIL) when the diagnostic runs and fails.
• The ECM limits fuel injection quantity.
Condition for Clearing the MIL/DTC
• The ECM turns OFF the MIL when the diagnostic
runs and does not fail.
• A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive driving
cycles without a fault. Or clear with the scan tool.
Diagnostic Aids
• If an intermittent condition is suspected, refer to
Intermittent Conditions in this section.
• A sticking or intermittently sticking the EGR valve
will cause this DTC to set.
• Misrouted vacuum hoses will cause this DTC to
set.
•
A vacuum pump problem will cause this DTC to
set.

6E-260 Engine Control System (4JH1)
Checks Action
Engine Mechanical Checks Inspect the engine mechanical for the following conditions. Refer to the Engine
Mechanical section.
• Inspect for poor cylinder compression. Proper compression is more than 2100 kPa
(309 psi).
• Improper mechanical timing (timing gear)
• Improper valve gap
• Broken or weak valve springs
• W orn camshaft lobes
Electrical System Checks Inspect the engine electrical for the following conditions. Refer to the Engine Electrical
section.
• Inspect the glow plug control (preheating) system operation.
• Inspect for slow cranking speed.
• Inspect for weakened batteries.


Rough, Unstable, or Incorrect Idle And Stalling
Checks Action
DEFINITION:Engine runs unevenly at idle. If severe, the engine or vehicle may shake. Engine idle speed may vary in RPM.
Either condition may be severe enough to stall the engine.
Preliminary Checks • Diagnostic System Check - Engine Controls.
• Remove the air cleaner and check for dirt, or for air ducts being plugged or restricted.
Replace as necessary.
• Inspect the Engine Control Module (ECM) and fuel injection pump control unit (PCU)
grounds for being clean, tight, and in their proper locations.
• Inspect that the harness connectors are correctly connected.
• Inspect the fuel type and quality.
• Inspect the scan tool Data List in this section.
• Inspect the Service Bulletins for ECM software updates.
Sensor Checks Inspect the engine control sensors for the following conditions. Refer to the scan tool Data
List in this section.
• Use the scan tool to compare the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) with the Intake Air
Temperature (IAT) and Fuel Temperature (FT) on a cold engine condition. If the
difference among temperature reading is more than 5°C (9°F) on a cold engine, check for
high resistance on the low reference circuit and signal circuit or for a skewed sensor.
Notice: The mass air flow (MAF) sensor is heated and as a result the IAT sensor may
indicate a higher than normal intake air temperature if the ignition switch is being ON. FT
sensor is internal to the PCU and it is part of the fuel injection pump assembly.
• Use the scan tool to compare the MAF Sensor parameter with the Desired MAF
parameter. Start the engine and warm up (allow engine coolant temperature to reach at
least 60°C [140°F]). The MAF Sensor parameter must follow the Desired MAF parameter
within 100 mg/strk. If not, inspect the air intake system, EGR system components and
contaminated, skewed or slow MAF sensor.
• Inspect the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor is tight and the flywheel circumference is
not damaged.

6E-262 Engine Control System (4JH1)
Checks Action
Additional Checks •
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) on the reference circuit can cause an engine miss
condition. The scan tool can usually detect EMI by monitoring the engine speed. A
sudden increase in speed with little change in actual engine speed change indicates that
EMI is present. If a problem exists, check routing of high voltage components, such as
fuel injection solenoid valve wiring, near the sensor circuits.
• Inspect for faulty engine mounts.
• Inspect faulty crank pulley.
• Inspect faulty generator & A/C compressor.
• Inspect the generator output voltage. Repair if less than 9 volts or more than 16 volts.
• Inspect the EGR system operating correctly.
• Inspect the A/C operation.


Cut Out, Misses
Checks Action
DEFINITION:A constant jerking that follows the engine speed, usually more pronounced as the engine load increase. The
exhaust has a steady spitting sound at idle, low speed, or hard acceleration for the fuel starvation that can cause the engine to
cut-out.
Preliminary Check • Diagnostic System Check - Engine Controls.
• Inspect that the harness connectors are correctly connected.
• Inspect the engine control module (ECM) and fuel injection pump control unit (PCU)
grounds for being clean, tight, and in their proper locations.
• Inspect the scan tool Data List in this section.
• Inspect the Service Bulletins for ECM software updates.
Sensor Checks Inspect the engine control sensors for the following conditions. Refer to the scan tool
Data List in this section.
• Use the scan tool to observe the Accelerator Pedal Position. Accelerator Pedal
Position indicating angle parameter should change linearly from 0% to 100%
according to the accelerator pedal operation.
• Inspect the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor is tight and the flywheel circumference
is not damaged.
