DTC P0403:00

DTC P0403:00  EGR control circuit problem 
DETECTION CONDITION 
  • The PCM monitors the input voltage from the EGR valve. If the voltage remain low or high, the PCM determines that the EGR valve circuit has a malfunction.

Diagnostic support note 
  • This is a continuous monitor (CCM).
  • The MIL illuminates if the PCM detects the above malfunction conditions in two consecutive drive cycles or in one drive cycle while the DTC for the same malfunction has been stored in the PCM.
  • PENDING CODE is available if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition during first drive cycle.
  • FREEZE FRAME DATA (Mode 2)/Snapshot data is available.
  • The DTC is stored in the PCM memory.
POSSIBLE CAUSE 
  • EGR valve connector or terminals malfunction
  • Short to ground or open circuit in EGR valve power supply circuit
    • Short to ground in wiring harness between the following terminals:
      • Main relay terminal C-EGR valve terminal C

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

STEP INSPECTION ACTION
1 VERIFY FREEZE FRAME DATA (MODE 2)/SNAPSHOT DATA HAS BEEN RECORDED 
  • Has the FREEZE FRAME DATA (Mode 2)/snapshot data been recorded?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Record the FREEZE FRAME DATA (Mode 2)/snapshot data on the repair order, then go to the next step.
2 VERIFY RELATED REPAIR INFORMATION AVAILABILITY 
  • Verify related Service Bulletins and/or on-line repair information availability.
  • Is any related repair information available?
Yes Perform repair or diagnosis according to the available repair information.
  • If the vehicle is not repaired, go to the next step.
No Go to the next step.
3 INSPECT EGR VALVE CONNECTOR CONDITION 
  • Switch the ignition to off.
  • Disconnect the EGR valve connector.
  • Inspect for poor connection (such as damaged/pulled-out pins, corrosion).
  • Is there any malfunction?
Yes Repair or replace the terminal and/or connector, then go to Step 10.
No Go to the next step.
4 INSPECT EGR VALVE POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO GROUND OR OPEN CIRCUIT 
  • EGR valve connector is disconnected.
  • Switch the ignition to ON (engine off).
  • Measure the voltage between the following terminals (wiring harness-side) and body ground:
    • EGR valve terminal C
    • EGR valve terminal D
  • Is the voltage B+  ?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Inspect the ENG BAR 15 A fuse.
  • If the fuse is melted:
    • Repair or replace the wiring harness for a possible short to ground.
    • Replace the fuse.
  • If the fuse is deteriorated:
    • Replace the fuse.
  • If the fuse is normal:
    • Repair or replace the wiring harness for a possible open circuit.

Go to Step 10.
5 INSPECT EGR CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO GROUND 
  • EGR valve connector is disconnected.
  • Switch the ignition to off.
  • Inspect for continuity between the following terminals (wiring harness-side) and body ground:
    • EGR valve terminal E
    • EGR valve terminal A
    • EGR valve terminal B
    • EGR valve terminal F
  • Is there continuity?
Yes If the short to ground circuit could be detected:
  • Repair or replace the wiring harness for a possible short to ground.

If the short to ground circuit could not be detected:

Go to Step 10.
No Go to the next step.
6 INSPECT PCM CONNECTOR CONDITION 
  • Disconnect the PCM connector.
  • Inspect for poor connection (such as damaged/pulled-out pins, corrosion).
  • Is there any malfunction?
Yes Repair or replace the terminal and/or connector, then go to Step 10.
No Go to the next step.
7 INSPECT EGR CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO POWER SUPPLY 
  • EGR valve and PCM connectors are disconnected.
  • Switch the ignition to ON (engine off).
  • Measure the voltage between the following terminals (wiring harness-side) and body ground:
    • EGR valve terminal E
    • EGR valve terminal A
    • EGR valve terminal B
    • EGR valve terminal F
  • Is there any voltage?
Yes Repair or replace the wiring harness for a possible short to power supply, then go to Step 10.
No Go to the next step.
8 INSPECT EGR VALVE 
  • Switch the ignition to off.
  • Inspect the EGR valve.

    (See EGR VALVE INSPECTION ).

  • Is there any malfunction?
Yes Replace the EGR valve, then go to Step 10.
