DTC P0400 Exhaust Gas Recirculation Flow


DESCRIPTION

The EGR system recirculates exhaust gases, and performs control so that the proper volume of exhaust gas is recirculated to suit all driving conditions. The recirculated gas mixes with the intake air, allowing the EGR system to slow down engine combustion and lower the combustion temperature. This helps reduce NOx emissions.
In order to increase circulation efficiency, the ECM adjusts the lift amount of the EGR valve and throttle valve.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

  1. If the electric EGR control valve assembly is forcibly operated but the intake air amount does not vary, the ECM determines that the electric EGR control valve assembly is malfunctioning. The ECM then illuminates the MIL.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTICE:
  1. Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedures.
  2. After replacing the ECM, the new ECM needs registration (LandCruiser RM0000012XK0ARX.html) and initialization (LandCruiser RM000000TIN08CX.html).
HINT:
Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
1.CHECK FOR ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P0400)

  1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

  1. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the tester on.

  1. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / DTC.

  1. Read DTCs.

2.PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (ACTIVATE THE VSV FOR EGR CUT)

  1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

  1. Start the engine and warm it up, and make sure the A/C switch and all accessory switches are off.

  1. Turn the ignition switch off. Wait for 30 seconds, and then restart the engine.

  1. Turn the tester on.

  1. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / MAF.

  1. Read the MAF value displayed on the tester while the engine is idling.

  1. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test / Activate the VSV for EGR Cut or Activate the EGR valve Close.

  1. Read the mass air flow meter value when the VSV for EGR Cut or electric vacuum regulating valve assembly is turned from off to on using the Active Test function.

    HINT:
    1. If idling continues for 15 minutes or more, the EGR valve target opening angle becomes 0% (EGR valve fully closed). As this makes diagnosis impossible, it becomes necessary to drive the vehicle or to restart the engine.
    2. Before performing the diagnosis, confirm that the EGR valve target opening angle is not 0%.
    3. When "Coolant Temp" is 75°C (167°F) or higher during idling, the exhaust gas flows through the EGR cooler. If MAF does not change when the EGR is cut even though the EGR valve is operating normally, the EGR cooler may be clogged.
    4. When idling while warming up the engine, the actuator operates and the EGR cooler is bypassed. However, if the connector of the VSV for the EGR cooler is disconnected, the EGR cooler is not bypassed and it is possible to check how clogged the EGR cooler is.

    NOTICE:
    As the values shown below may differ due to factors such as differences in measuring environments and changes in vehicle condition due to aging, do not use these values to determine whether the vehicle is malfunctioning or not.
    HINT:
    The problem may be a temporary one, due to the entry of deposits or foreign matter. Check that there are no deposits or foreign matter in the electric vacuum regulating valve assembly or mass air flow meter.
