Code No. P0113: EGR Gas Temperature Sensor Circuit High Input <Euro5b>








OPERATION



  • A power voltage of 5 V is applied to the EGR gas temperature sensor output terminal (terminal No. 1) from the engine-ECU (terminal No. 36).
  • The power voltage is earthed to the engine-ECU (terminal No. 30) from the EGR gas temperature sensor (terminal No. 2).

FUNCTION



  • The EGR gas temperature sensor converts the EGR gas temperature into a voltage and inputs the voltage signal to the engine-ECU.
  • The EGR gas temperature sensor is a kind of resistor, which has characteristics to reduce its resistance as the EGR gas temperature rises. Therefore, the sensor output voltage varies with the EGR gas temperature, and becomes lower as the EGR gas temperature rises.

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 gas temperature sensor output voltage is 4.96 V or more (the EGR gas temperature is below -50°C or equivalent).

PROBABLE CAUSES



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

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

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

  • Refer to Data List Reference Table .

  1. Item 8: EGR gas temperature 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-136 EGR gas temperature sensor connector

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

STEP 3. Check EGR gas temperature sensor itself.

  • Check EGR gas temperature sensor itself (Refer to GROUP 17 - Emission Control <4M4> - Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) System - EGR Gas Temperature Sensor Check ).

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 4.
Replace the EGR gas temperature sensor.

STEP 4. Perform voltage measurement at B-136 EGR gas temperature sensor connector.

  • Disconnect connector, and measure at harness side.
  • Ignition switch: ON
  • Voltage between terminal No. 1 and earth.
OK: 4.5 - 4.9 V

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 8.
Go to Step 5.

STEP 5. Connector check: D-213 engine-ECU connector

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 6.
Repair or replace the connector.

STEP 6. Check harness between B-136 (terminal No. 1) EGR gas temperature sensor connector and D-213 (terminal No. 36) engine-ECU connector.

  • Check output line for short circuit.

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 7.
Repair the damaged harness wire.

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

  • Refer to Data List Reference Table .

  1. Item 8: EGR gas temperature 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. When the engine-ECU is replaced, write the chassis number (Refer to GROUP 00 - Precautions Before Service - How to Perform Chassis Number Writing ). After replacing the engine-ECU, register the injector identification code and learn fuel injection (Refer to GROUP 00 - Precautions Before Service - What The Common Rail Engine Learns ). After registering the injector identification code, the vehicle equipped with the closed type DPF carries out the forcible DPF regeneration. (Refer to GROUP 17 - Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) System - Forcible DPF Regeneration ).

STEP 8. Perform resistance measurement at B-136 EGR gas temperature sensor connector.

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

Q. Is the check result normal?
Go to Step 11.
Go to Step 9.
