Notes:

Recognition condition for the malfunction "P0401 / 16785" (mech. valve continuously closed) is a coolant temperature over
72 C (162 F), an open idle switch, a throttle angle less than 42.5 , a vehicle speed between 70 km/h and 105 km/h (44
and 66 mph), an EGR duty cycle greater than 50%, an engine speed between 1500 RPM and 3300 RPM and an engine
load between 23% and 60%. If all these conditions are fulfilled and the EGR temperature signal is less than 50 C (122
F) for longer than 34 sec, the malfunction "P0401 / 16785" is set.

Note:

With the help of the Sensor for EVAP canister -G172- (differential pressure sensor)the pressure is measured between the
Evaporative Emissions (EVAP) canister and solenoid valve for Evaporative Emission (EVAP) canister purge -N80- with
valve closed and open. If the difference in the two pressures is less than 4 mbar to 23 mbar (depending on air pressure),
the malfunction is set.
