DTC P0405 Exhaust Gas Recirculation Sensor "A" Circuit Low

DTC P0406 Exhaust Gas Recirculation Sensor "A" Circuit High


DESCRIPTION

The EGR valve position sensor is mounted on the electric EGR control valve assembly and used for detecting the EGR valve angle. The EGR valve angle detected by the sensor is sent to the ECM as feedback. The ECM then regulates the EGR valve angle in accordance with engine running conditions.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

When the output voltage of the EGR valve position sensor deviates from the normal operating range of 0.2 to 4.8 V for more than 2 seconds, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction of the sensor circuit and illuminates the MIL.

WIRING DIAGRAM

Refer to DTC P042E (LandCruiser RM000004KMK023X_03.html).

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTICE:
After replacing the ECM, the new ECM needs registration (LandCruiser RM0000012XK0AUX.html) and initialization (LandCruiser RM000000TIN08HX.html).
HINT:
Read freeze frame data using the GTS. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. 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.
