DTC P0401

EGR flow insufficient detected

DETECTION CONDITION

• The PCM monitors the difference between the target air amount and intake air amount while the EGR system is operating at EGR feedback control. If the difference between the target air amount and the intake air amount is less than the threshold, the PCM determines that there is a malfunction in the EGR system.
• The PCM monitors the difference between target oxygen density and actual oxygen density while the EGR is operating at EGR feedback control. If the difference between the target density and actual density is less than the threshold, the PCM determines that there is a malfunction in the EGR system.
Diagnostic support note
• MIL illuminates if PCM detects above malfunction condition in two consecutive drive cycles or in one drive cycle while DTC for the same malfunction has been stored in PCM.
• PENDING CODE is available if PCM detects the above malfunction condition during first drive cycle.
• FREEZE FRAME DATA is available.
• DTC is stored in the PCM memory.

POSSIBLE CAUSE

• EGR valve malfunction
• Intake shutter valve malfunction
• Boost sensor malfunction
• EGR gasket malfunction
• PCM malfunction
