DTC P0400 EGR "A" FLOW

DTC detecting condition:

Detected when two consecutive driving cycles with fault occur.

Trouble symptom:

• Movement performance problem when engine is low speed

• Improper idling

• Movement performance problem

CAUTION:

After servicing or replacing faulty parts, perform Clear Memory Mode Clear Memory Mode > OPERATION">, and Inspection Mode Inspection Mode > PROCEDURE">.

STEP	CHECK	YES	NO

1.CHECK CURRENT DATA.

1) Start the engine.

2) Read the value of «Mani. Absolute Pressure» using the Subaru Select Monitor or a general scan tool.

NOTE:

• Subaru Select Monitor

For detailed operation procedures, refer to “Current Data Display For Engine”. Subaru Select Monitor">

• General scan tool

For detailed operation procedures, refer to the general scan tool operation manual.

Is the value of «Mani. Absolute Pressure» 53.3 kPa (400 mmHg, 15.75 inHg) or more?

Make sure that the EGR control valve, manifold absolute pressure sensor and throttle body are installed securely.

2.CHECK EGR CONTROL VALVE.

Remove the EGR control valve.

Are there any holes, clogged lines or foreign matters in the EGR system?

Repair the EGR system.

Replace EGR control valve. EGR Control Valve">

1. OUTLINE OF DIAGNOSIS

Detect EGR system malfunction.

Intake manifold pressure (negative pressure) is constant because the throttle valve is fully closed during deceleration fuel cut. At this time, when the EGR control valve is opened/closed, the intake manifold pressure will change. EGR System OK/NG is judged by the range of this change.

2. COMPONENT DESCRIPTION

(1)	Engine control module (ECM)	(4)	Switching circuit	(6)	Main relay
(2)	Computer unit (CPU)	(5)	Battery voltage	(7)	EGR control valve
(3)	Detecting circuit

3. EXECUTION CONDITION

Secondary parameters	Execution condition
Battery voltage	≥ 10.9 V
Barometric pressure	≥ 75.1 kPa (563 mmHg, 22.2 inHg)
Intake air temperature	≥ 0 °C(32 °F)
Engine speed	1300 rpm — 5000 rpm
Vehicle speed	≥40 km/h (24.9 MPH)
Elapsed time after fuel cut	≥ 3000 ms
Neutral switch	= OFF

4. GENERAL DRIVING CYCLE

During deceleration fuel cut from 40 km/h (approx. 24.9 MPH) or more, perform diagnosis once.

Be careful of vehicle speed and engine speed. (Diagnosis will not be completed if the vehicle speed and engine speed conditions become out of specification due to deceleration.)

5. DIAGNOSTIC METHOD

Measure the pressure values when the enable conditions are established, and perform diagnosis by calculating those results.

(1) Label the intake manifold pressure value as PMOF1, which is observed when enable conditions are established, and set the EGR target step to 45 step(s) (nearly full open).

(2) Label the intake manifold pressure value as PMON, which is observed after 1000 ms has passed since EGR target step was set to 45 step(s) (when the enable conditions were established), and set the EGR target step to 0.

(3) Label the intake manifold pressure as PMOF2, which is observed after 1000 ms has passed since EGR target step was set to 0 (after (1000 ms + 1000 ms) have passed since the enable conditions were established).

Judge as NG when the following conditions are established.

Judgment Value

Malfunction Criteria	Threshold Value
PMON − (PMOF1 + PMOF2)/2	< 2.5 kPa (18.63 mmHg, 0.7 inHg)

Time Needed for Diagnosis: 2 seconds

Malfunction Indicator Light Illumination: Illuminates when malfunction occurs in 2 continuous driving cycles.
