Trouble Code (DTC)

List System

Engine Control System (4JH1) 6E-155

DTC P0400 (Symptom Code 8) (Flash Code 32)

Circuit Description
The engine control module (ECM) controls the exhaust
gas recirculation (EGR) flow amount based on the
engine speed, engine coolant temperature, intake air
temperature, barometric pressure and fuel injection
quantity. The ECM controls the EGR valve by
controlling the EGR solenoid valve. The mass air flow
(MAF) sensor monitors EGR gas flow amount. An
expected MAF amount should be detected while the
engine running. If the ECM detects that detects a short
to battery or ignition voltage on the EGR solenoid valve
control circuit, this DTC will set.
Condition for Running the DTC

• The ignition switch is ON.

Condition for Setting the DTC

• The ECM detects that the high voltage condition

on the EGR solenoid valve control circuit for longer
than 3 seconds when the solenoid valve is
commanded ON.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

• The ECM illuminates the malfunction indicator

lamp (MIL) when the diagnostic runs and fails.

• The ECM limits fuel injection quantity.

Condition for Clearing the MIL/DTC

• The ECM turns OFF the MIL when the diagnostic

runs and does not fail.

• A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive driving

cycles without a fault. Or clear with the scan tool.

Diagnostic Aids

• If an intermittent condition is suspected, refer to

Intermittent Conditions in this section.

Test Description
The number below refers to the step number on the
diagnostic table.
3. If the control circuit of the EGR solenoid valve
between the ECM and the solenoid valve is normal, the
control circuit voltage low DTC P0400 (Symptom Code
4) will set.

Trouble Code (DTC)

List System

Engine Control System (4JH1) 6E-157

DTC P0500 (Symptom Code 1, A) (Flash Code 24)

Circuit Description
The vehicle speed sensor (VSS) is used by the engine
control module (ECM) and speedometer, which
generates a speed signal from the transmission output
shaft. The VSS has the following circuits.

•  Ignition voltage feed circuit
•  VSS signal circuit
•  VSS low reference circuit

The VSS uses a hall effect element. It interacts with the
magnetic field created by the rotating magnet and
outputs square wave pulse signal. The 12 volts
operating supply from the Meter fuse (except 2WD with
A/T) or Back Up fuse (2WD with A/T). The ECM
calculates the vehicle speed by the VSS. If the vehicle
is 2WD with automatic transmission, VSS signals are
sent from the transmission control module (TCM). If the
ECM detects VSS signals are generated with high
frequencies, this DTC will set.
Condition for Running the DTC

• The ignition switch is ON.

Condition for Setting the DTC

• The ECM detects that the vehicle speed is higher

than 200 km/h (125 MPH) for 5 seconds.
(Symptom Code 1)

• The ECM detects that the vehicle speed sensor

signal frequency is too high for 0.6 seconds.
(Symptom Code A)

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

• The ECM illuminates the malfunction indicator

lamp (MIL) when the diagnostic runs and fails.

• The ECM uses a vehicle speed substitution of 5

km/h (3 MPH) for engine control.

Condition for Clearing the MIL/DTC

• The ECM turns OFF the MIL when the diagnostic

runs and does not fail.

• A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive driving

cycles without a fault. Or clear with the scan tool.

Diagnostic Aids

• Electrical or magnetic interference may affect

intermittent condition.

• If an intermittent condition is suspected, refer to

Intermittent Conditions in this section.

1. Inspect all of the circuits going to the automatic

transmission (A/T) vehicle speed sensor (VSS)
for the following:

• Routed too closely to fuel injection solenoid

wiring or components

• Routed too closely to after-market add-on

electrical equipment

• Routed too closely to solenoids, relays, and

motors

2. If you find incorrect routing, correct the harness

routing.
