6E-152 Engine Control System (4JH1)

DTC P0400 (Symptom Code 5) (Flash Code 32)

Circuit Description
The engine control module (ECM) controls the exhaust
gas recirculation (EGR) flow amount based on the
engine speed, engine coolant temperature, intake air
temperature, barometric pressure and fuel injection
quantity. The ECM controls the EGR valve by
controlling the EGR solenoid valve. The mass air flow
(MAF) sensor monitors EGR gas flow amount. An
expected MAF amount should be detected while the
engine running. If the ECM detects the actual MAF
amount is higher than desired MAF amount, this DTC
will set. This indicates insufficient amount of EGR gas
flow.
Condition for Running the DTC

• The ignition switch is ON.
• The engine is running.
• The barometric pressure (BARO) is between 850

hPa and 1100 hPa.

• The intake air temperature (IAT) is between 15°C

(59°F) and 100°C (212°F).

• The ECT is between 35°C (95°F) and 100°C

(211°F).

Condition for Setting the DTC

• The ECM detects that the MAF amount is 150

mg/strk higher than the desired MAF for 60
seconds. This indicates insufficient amount of
EGR flow.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

• The ECM illuminates the malfunction indicator

lamp (MIL) when the diagnostic runs and fails.

• The ECM limits fuel injection quantity.

Condition for Clearing the MIL/DTC

• The ECM turns OFF the MIL when the diagnostic

runs and does not fail.

• A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive driving

cycles without a fault. Or clear with the scan tool.

Diagnostic Aids

• If an intermittent condition is suspected, refer to

Intermittent Conditions in this section.

• A sticking or intermittently sticking the EGR valve

will cause this DTC to set.

• Misrouted vacuum hoses will cause this DTC to

set.

• A vacuum pump problem will cause this DTC to

set.

2. Turn OFF the ignition for 30 seconds.
3. Start the engine and warm up (allow engine

coolant temperature to reach at least 60°C
[140°F]).

4. Perform the EGR Solenoid Valve test with the

5. Command the EGR Solenoid Valve ON and OFF

with the scan tool while observing the Mass Air
Flow (MAF) Sensor parameter.

Does the MAF Sensor parameter decrease by at
least 200 mg/strk within 2 seconds when the EGR
Solenoid Valve is commanded ON?

• An EGR valve control vacuum hose is

damaged or kinked.

• EGR solenoid valve vacuum hoses are

damaged or kinked.

• EGR solenoid valve ventilation is damaged.
• An EGR valve is stuck close.
• Restricted or collapsed EGR passage

between the exhaust manifold and EGR
valve.

• A vacuum hose from the vacuum pump is

damaged or kinked.

• A vacuum pump is damaged.
• Oil in the air tubing causing an incorrect

MAF sensor signal. When there is
adhesion of oil, inside of the tubing,
intercooler and turbocharger needs to be
