Isuzu Trooper (1998-2002 year). Manual - part 621

6E–132

4JX1–TC ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P1404 (Flash DTC 31) 

EGR VSV Circuit

060RW135

Circuit Description

The Engine control module (ECM) monitors the EGR
valve input to ensure that the valve responds properly to
commands from the ECM, and to detect a fault if VSV is
stuck open. When the VSV is fixing at closed and opening
the ECM will set DTC P1404.

Diagnostic Aids

Check for the following conditions:

D

Poor connection or damaged VSV–inspect the wiring
harness for damage.
