DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) – P1402 ELECTRIC EXHAUST GAS
RECIRCULATION BLOCKED
Circuit Description
An Electric Exhaust Gas Re-circulation (EEGR) system
is used to lower oxides of nitrogen (NOX) emission lev-
els caused by high combustion temperatures. It a ac-
complishes this by feeding small amounts of exhaust
gases back into the combustion chamber. When the air/
fuel mixture is diluted with the exhaust gases, combus-
tion temperatures are reduced.
A EEGR valve is used on this system. The linear EEGR
valve is designed to accurately supply exhaust gases to
the engine without the use of intake manifold vacuum.
The valve controls exhaust flow going into the intake
manifold from the exhaust manifold fhrough an orifice
with a engine control module(ECM) controlled pintle.
The ECM controls the pintle position using inputs from
the Throttle Position (TP) and the Manifold Absolute
Pressure (MAP) sensor. The ECM then commands the
EEGR valve to operate when necessary by controlling
an ignition signal through the ECM. This can be moni-
tored on a scan tool as the Desired EEGR position.
The ECM monitors the results of its command through a
feedback signal. By sending a 5 volt reference and a
ground to the EEGR valve, a voltage signal representing
the EEGR valve pintle position is sent to the ECM. This
feedback signal can also be monitored on a scan tool
and is the actual position of the EEGR pintle. The actual
EEGR position should always be near the commanded
or Desired EEGR position.
ThisDiagnostic Trouble Code(DTC) will detect an open
or short circuit.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
Engine Coolant Temperature(ECT) is greater than
80°C(176°F).Intake Air Temperature(IAT) is greater than 15°C
(59°F).
Manifold Absolute Pressure is greater than 75kPA.
The EEGR differential rate is less than 3%.
Mass Air Flow is between 92 ~157mg/tdc.
Engine Speed Is Between 2,500~2,900rpm.

P0341, P0342, P1671, P1672, P1673 are NOT SET.
EEGR is disabled.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) will illuminate.
The ECM will record operating conditions at the time
the diagnostic fails. This information will be stored in
the Freeze Frame and Failure Records buffers.
A history DTC is stored.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
The MIL will turn off after four consecutive ignition
cycles in which the diagnostic runs without a fault.
A history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive warm-up
cycles without a fault.
DTC(s) can be cleared by using the scan tool.
Diagnostic Aids
Due to moisture associated with exhaust systems, the
EEGR valve may freeze and stick in cold weather at
times. After the vehicle is brought into a warm shop for
repairs, the valve warms and the problem disappears.
By watching the Actual EEGR and desired EEGR posi-
tions on a cold vehicle with a scan tool, the fault can be

IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE (IACV) CIRCUIT FAULT
Circuit Description
The Engine Control Module (ECM) controls the air en-
tering into the engine with an Idle Air Control (IAC)
Valve. To increase the idle rpm, the ECM commands the
pintle inside the IAC valve away from the throttle body
seat. This allows more air to bypass through the throttle
blade. To decrease the rpm the ECM commands the
pintle towards the throttle body seat. This reduces the
amount of air bypassing the throttle blade. A scan tool
will read the IAC valve pintle position in counts. The
higher the counts, the more air that is allowed to bypass
the throttle blade. This Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
determines if a low idle condition exists as defined as
100 rpm below the desired idle rpm.
