WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
- A slight to moderate resistance in either signal or low reference circuit can widen the spread between the two EGR temperature sensors and cause this DTC to set.
- An EGR temperature sensor that is skewed lower at various ambient temperatures, due to more resistance than is normal, can widen the spread between the two sensors and cause this DTC to set. Measure and record the resistance of both EGR temperature sensors 1 and 2 at ambient temperature. Compare those measurements to the Temperature Versus Resistance (EGR Temperature Sensors) or Temperature Versus Resistance (Fuel Temperature Sensor) or Temperature Versus Resistance (IAT Sensor 1) or Temperature Versus Resistance (ECT Sensors) or Temperature Versus Resistance (IAT Sensor 2) or Temperature Versus Resistance (EGT Sensors) .
- Inspect both EGR temperature sensors terminals for corrosion and for poor connections. It is very important that a thorough inspection of the wiring and connectors be performed. Failure to fully inspect wiring and connectors may result in misdiagnosis, causing part replacement with reappearance of the malfunction.
