Hino P041D Fault Code: EGR Gas Temperature Sensor – Out Of Range (Out Of Range High)
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
- Check the installation of the EGR cooler outlet temperature sensor
- 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
- Set the starter switch to the “LOCK” position
- Disconnect the EGR cooler outlet temperature sensor connector
- 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
- Set the starter switch to the “ON” position
- 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
- Set the starter switch to the “LOCK” position
- Connect the signal check harness to the engine ECU vehicle-side harness. (Do not connect the harness to the ECU)
- 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.
- Connect the EGR cooler outlet temperature sensor connector
- 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]
- Warm up the Engine. (Engine coolant temperature: 60°C {140°F} or more)
- Stop the engine and set the starter switch to the “LOCK” position
- Connect the vehicle to the diagnostic tool
- Set the starter switch to the “ON” position
- 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 |
