Title: A25A-FXS (ENGINE CONTROL): SFI SYSTEM (w/ Canister Pump Module): P04019C; Exhaust Gas Recirculation "A" Low / Insufficient Flow; 2020 MY RAV4 RAV4 HV [06/2020 - 08/2020]

DTC

P04019C

Exhaust Gas Recirculation "A" Low / Insufficient Flow

DESCRIPTION

Based on the driving conditions, the ECM regulates the volume of exhaust gas that is recirculated to each engine cylinder in order to lower the combustion temperature and reduce NOx emissions. The ECM monitors signals such as engine speed, engine coolant temperature, electric load, and vehicle speed. When the EGR permission conditions are met, the ECM controls the opening of the EGR valve linearly through signals to the EGR step motor.

DTC No.

Note

P04019C

Exhaust Gas Recirculation "A" Low / Insufficient Flow

Change in intake manifold pressure is small when the EGR valve opened and closed during fuel cut operation (2 trip detection logic).

  • EGR valve assembly
  • EGR passage
  • EGR cooler assembly
  • Intake system
  • Manifold absolute pressure sensor

DTC stored

SAE Code: P0401

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The ECM monitors the pressure inside the intake manifold while opening and closing the EGR valve during fuel cut operation. If there is no change in the manifold absolute pressure sensor value, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction of the EGR valve assembly, illuminates the MIL and stores this DTC.

  • Read Freeze Frame Data using the Techstream. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as Freeze Frame Data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, Freeze Frame Data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
