Hino P041D Fault Code: EGR Gas Temperature Sensor – Out Of Range (Out Of Range High)

29/11/2024

Technical description

The installed EGR cooler outlet temperature sensor consistently measures temperature at the outlet of the EGR cooler

Description of malfunction

The EGR cooler outlet temperature cannot be correctly recognized

DTC set condition

DTC Detection Condition:

  • Starter switch ON
  • Battery voltage is in the range of 10 V to 16 V
  • Above conditions continue for at least 5 seconds

Judgment Criteria:

Output of the EGR cooler outlet temperature sensor remains at 4.97 V or higher (-40°C {-40°F} or lower) for 3 seconds or longer

Reset condition

After restoration to normal condition

Indication, warning or system control regulation when the dtc is set

  • MIL: ON
  • SVS light: OFF

Pre-inspection work

Check that the battery voltage is in the normal range

After-inspection work

  • Clear all past DTCs
  • Check that no DTC is stored after test drive

Possible causes

  • Abnormal resistance of sensor
  • Short-circuit in the sensor
  • Malfunction of the sensor power supply in the engine ECU
  • Malfunction the circuit in the engine ECU
  • Disconnect and short-circuit of the harness
  • Irregular contact of the connector

Inspection procedure

Troubleshooting steps

Step 1: Inspect the EGR cooler outlet temperature sensor connector

Check the connection of the EGR cooler outlet temperature sensor connector (Looseness and poor contact)

Were any failures found?

Yes Connect securely, repair if needed. Clear all past DTCs. Check that no DTC is detected after test drive
No Go to Step 2

Step 2: Inspect the EGR cooler outlet temperature sensor

  1. Check the installation of the EGR cooler outlet temperature sensor
  2. Make sure there is no dirt or damage to the EGR cooler outlet temperature sensor

Were any failures found?

Yes Clean the EGR cooler outlet temperature sensor and install it properly. If damaged, replace the EGR cooler outlet temperature sensor. Clear all past DTCs. Check that no DTC is detected after test drive
No Go to Step 3

Step 3: Inspect the EGR cooler outlet temperature sensor

  1. Set the starter switch to the “LOCK” position
  2. Disconnect the EGR cooler outlet temperature sensor connector
  3. Use the electrical tester to measure the resistance between the terminals of the EGR cooler outlet temperature sensor
MEASUREMENT CONDITIONS TESTER CONNECTIONS STANDARD VALUES
Starter switch: LOCK EGR cooler outlet temperature sensor THG – E2 20°C {68°F}: 13.7 – 29.8 kΩ 50°C {122°F}: 7.13 – 13.7 kΩ 80°C {176°F}: 4.1 – 7.13 kΩ

Do the measurements meet the standard value?

Yes Go to Step 4
No Replace the EGR cooler outlet temperature sensor. Clear all past DTCs. Check that no DTC is detected after test drive

Step 4: Inspect the EGR cooler outlet temperature sensor power supply

  1. Set the starter switch to the “ON” position
  2. Use the electrical tester to measure the voltage between the terminals of the EGR cooler outlet temperature sensor vehicle-side connector
MEASUREMENT CONDITIONS TESTER CONNECTIONS STANDARD VALUES
Starter switch: ON EGR cooler outlet temperature sensor vehicle-side connector THG – E2 4.5 – 5.5 V

Do the measurements meet the standard value?

Yes Go to Step 7
No Go to Step 5

Step 5: Check for short-circuit in wire harness of EGR cooler outlet temperature sensor

  1. Set the starter switch to the “LOCK” position
  2. Connect the signal check harness to the engine ECU vehicle-side harness. (Do not connect the harness to the ECU)
  3. Use the electrical tester to measure the resistance between the EGR cooler outlet temperature sensor terminals and ground
MEASUREMENT CONDITIONS TESTER CONNECTIONS STANDARD VALUES
Starter switch: LOCK Engine ECU (signal check harness) ETH2(E45) – Ground AGD7(M56) – Ground ∞ Ω

Do the measurements meet the standard value?

Yes Go to Step 6
No Repair or replace the harness. Clear all past DTCs. Check that no DTC is detected after test drive

Step 6: Check for disconnection in wire harness of EGR cooler outlet temperature sensor.

  1. Connect the EGR cooler outlet temperature sensor connector
  2. Use the electrical tester to measure the resistance between the terminals of the engine ECU (signal check harness)
MEASUREMENT CONDITIONS TESTER CONNECTIONS STANDARD VALUES
Starter switch: LOCK Engine ECU (signal check harness) ETH2(E45) – AGD7(M56) 20°C {68°F}: 13.7 – 29.8 kΩ 50°C {122°F}: 7.13 – 13.7 kΩ 80°C {176°F}: 4.1 – 7.13 kΩ

Do the measurements meet the standard value?

Yes Go to Step 7
No Repair or replace the harness. Clear all past DTCs. Check that no DTC is detected after test drive

Step 7: Check the DTC detected (Engine ECU) [Diagnostic Tool]

  1. Warm up the Engine. (Engine coolant temperature: 60°C {140°F} or more)
  2. Stop the engine and set the starter switch to the “LOCK” position
  3. Connect the vehicle to the diagnostic tool
  4. Set the starter switch to the “ON” position
  5. Select [Engine] and check if the DTC P041C or P041D has been detected

Has DTC P041C or P041D been detected?

Yes Replace the engine ECU. Clear all past DTCs. Check that no DTC is detected after test drive
No Procedure completed. Clear all past DTCs. Check that no DTC is detected after test drive
