DTC P0400: Exhaust Gas RECIRCULATION (EGR) Flow

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
P0400 - EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR) FLOW

Description:  The electric exhaust gas recirculation (EEGR) system is monitored once per drive cycle during steady state conditions above 77 km/h (48 mph). The test fails when the powertrain control module (PCM) calculations indicate the EGR flow is less or greater than expected.
Possible Causes: 
  • EEGR valve stuck open or closed
  • Connector to EEGR not seated
  • EEGR motor windings short or open
  • No voltage to the EEGR
  • Harness open or shorted to voltage or ground
  • Vacuum signal to manifold absolute pressure (MAP) restricted or leaking
  • Mass air flow (MAF) sensor signal erroneous
  • Damaged PCM
  • Carbon build up in the EEGR valve seat area
  • One or more sensors is not responding or is out of range
Diagnostic Aids:  All of the following sensors input data to the PCM for correct operation of the EEGR system: cylinder head temperature (CHT) sensor, intake air temperature (IAT) sensor, MAF, throttle position (TP) sensor, MAP sensor. Resolve any DTC relating to these sensors prior to addressing this DTC.
