Code No. P0490: EGR Valve Position Sensor Circuit High Input


OPERATION



  • A power voltage of 5 V is applied to the EGR valve assembly power terminal (terminal No. 3) from the engine-ECU (terminal No. 71) and earthed to the engine-ECU (terminal No. 81) from the EGR valve assembly (terminal No. 2).
  • The sensor signal is inputted to the engine-ECU (terminal No. 57) from the EGR valve assembly output terminal (terminal No. 1).

FUNCTION



  • The EGR valve assembly detects the position of the EGR valve and sends the signal to the engine-ECU.
  • Based on the signal, the engine-ECU performs the feedback control of the EGR valve.

TROUBLE JUDGMENT


Check Conditions
  • Battery positive voltage is 8 - 16 V
  • 2 seconds later after the ignition switch has been in "ON" position or the engine has started up.
Judgment Criterion
  • The EGR valve position sensor output voltage is 4.80 V or more.

FAIL-SAFE AND BACKUP FUNCTION



  • The DPF regeneration is prohibited.
  • The throttle valve is opened (Electrical discontinuity).
  • The EGR control is stopped (fully closed).
  • The AS&G control is prohibited.

PROBABLE CAUSES



  • Failed EGR valve position sensor
  • Open circuit or harness damage in EGR valve position sensor circuit or loose connector contact
  • Failed engine-ECU

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP 1. M.U.T.-III data list

  • Refer to Data List Reference Table .

  1. Item 16: EGR valve position sensor

Q. Is the check result normal?
Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions ).
Go to Step 2 .

STEP 2. Connector check: B-16 EGR valve assembly connector

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 3 .
Repair or replace the connector.

STEP 3. Perform resistance measurement at B-16 EGR valve assembly connector.

  • Disconnect connector, and measure at harness side.
  • Ignition switch: ON
  • Resistance between terminal No. 2 and earth.
OK: Continuity (2 Ω or less)

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 7 .
Go to Step 4 .

STEP 4. Connector check: B-09 engine-ECU connector

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 5 .
Repair or replace the connector.

STEP 5. Check harness between B-16 (terminal No. 2) EGR valve assembly connector and B-09 (terminal No. 81) engine-ECU connector.

  • Check earthing line for open circuit and damage.

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 6 .
Repair the damaged harness wire.

STEP 6. M.U.T.-III data list

  • Refer to Data List Reference Table .

  1. Item 16: EGR valve position sensor

Q. Is the check result normal?
Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions ).
Replace the engine-ECU.

STEP 7. M.U.T.-III data list

  • Refer to Data List Reference Table .

  1. Item 16: EGR valve position sensor

Q. Is the check result normal?
Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions ).
Replace the EGR valve assembly.
