EGR System Monitor

OBD System Description - EGR System Monitor

EGR Insufficient Flow

DTC Description / Detecting Condition / Confirmation Procedure
P0401 refer to DTC P0401: Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Flow Insufficient. P0401

Monitor Strategy Description
This diagnostic will determine if there is a reduction in EGR Flow.

Malfunction Criteria




Filtered MAP change (Expected - Actual) > 0 kPa (passing)
See table.

The associated change in MAP is compared with a threshold from RPM vs Baro table. > -1 kPa (failing)
The results are statistically filtered (EWMA) and compared to a decision limit.
DTC is set when the filtered result exceeds the decision limit.
