Monitor Conditions

  1. When Monitored: With the engine run time above a calibrated value, battery voltage greater than 10.4 volts, ECT within a specific range, and the EGR Valve Assembly control active.

Set Conditions

  1. Set Condition: This PCM compares the circuit feedback to a calibrated closed range when the circuit is de-energized or to a calibrated open range when the circuit is energized. If the value is determined to be out of the calibrated range in either the de-energized or energized state for more than a calibrated amount of time, this DTC will set.

  1. When Monitored: The PCM performs two diagnostic procedures to test the rationality of the EGR sensor signal: a position rationality test and a zero reference test. The position rationality test is performed continuously when the EGR control circuit is active. The zero reference test is performed when the valve is closed, with the throttle closed and engine RPM below a calibrated threshold, when the PCM is attempting to learn the position of the EGR valve during the closed valve state.
  1. Set Condition: The PCM monitors the EGR position rationality by subtracting the actual position of the EGR valve from the desired position. If the value exceeds a calibrated value for a calibrated time, the test fails. If the PCM detects that the EGR position zero reference voltage is not within a valid range, the test fails. After two failed trips, a DTC is set and the MIL is illuminated.

The catalyst monitor uses the signals from both the upstream and downstream O2 sensors to detect aging of the catalyst. As a catalyst ages, it loses some of its oxygen storing capacity. As a result, part of the untreated exhaust gases can break through the catalyst and causes the downstream O2 sensor to deviate from its neutral (Stoichiometric) position. By observing the downstream O2 signal, the degradation level of catalyst can be detected. In general, the higher the downstream O2 sensor state of change value, the more exhaust gas breakthrough and the lower the oxygen storage capacity of the catalytic converter.

The catalyst monitor uses the signals from both the upstream and downstream O2 sensors to detect aging of the catalyst. As a catalyst ages, it loses some of its oxygen storing capacity. As a result, part of the untreated exhaust gases can break through the catalyst and causes the downstream O2 sensor to deviate from its neutral (Stoichiometric) position. By observing the downstream O2 signal, the degradation level of catalyst can be detected. In general, the higher the downstream O2 sensor state of change value, the more exhaust gas breakthrough and the lower the oxygen storage capacity of the catalytic converter.

  1. When Monitored: ECT above 70° C (158° F), engine RPM between 1400 and 2300, vehicle speed between 64 and 96 kph (40 and 60 mph), and engine run time greater than 3 minutes.

The EVAP Purge Monitor tests the integrity of the hoses/tube between the throttle body/intake and the fuel tank. The monitor is a two stage test and runs only after the EVAP system passes the small leak test. Stage one is non-intrusive. The PCM monitors the purge vapor ratio and the ESM switch closed ratio. If the purge vapor ratio is above a calculated value, the monitor passes. If the ESM switch closed ratio is greater than calculated value when purge flow is greater than a minimum value, the monitor passes. Stage two is an intrusive test and runs only if stage one does not pass. The PCM commands the purge solenoid to flow at a specified rate to force the purge vapor ratio to update. The ratio is compared to a calibrated specification. If the ratio is less than the specification, a one trip failure is recorded. This test can detect if the purge hose is off, obstructed, or the purge valve is not operational.

  1. When Monitored: With the engine running, after the EVAP System small leak test has passed.
  1. Set Condition: If the PCM detects that the purge vapor ratio and the ESM switch closed ratio are below a calculated value, the PCM commands the purge solenoid to flow at a specified rate to update the purge vapor ratio. If the ratio remains below a specified value, a one trip failure is recorded. Two Trip Fault. Three good trips to turn off the MIL.

Spark adjustment during a cold start is intended to provide quick response to idle speed variations. The PCM monitors spark advance on a cold start over a period of time, then compares the average spark advance to a threshold.

  1. When Monitored: During a cold start condition, with the difference between the AAT and ECT at startup below 10° C (50° F), and the engine running at idle.
  1. Set Condition: The PCM detects that engine speed is 50 RPM or more (depending on vehicle specifications) below target idle speed for more than 3 seconds, and the average spark advance is above the failure threshold for more than the specified limit. Two trip fault. Three good trips to turn off the MIL.

  1. ACTIVE DTC NOTE: Low battery voltage can cause excessive current draw in very hot and very cold ambient temperatures. Look closely at the temperatures at which this DTC set and make sure the battery can pass a load test before continuing. NOTE: Diagnose and repair any other DTCs set in the PCM before proceeding with this test. Turn the ignition on. With the scan tool, select View DTCs and review the DTC environmental information. Is the good trip counter greater than 0? Yes The DTC is not active at this time. Refer to the «*CHECKING FOR AN INTERMITTENT DTC»(/chrysler/town-country/v-2007-2010/remont/testing-diagnostics/#dtcs-u1417-to-u1418-checking-no-crank-and-no-start-condition-intermittent-dtc-component-checks-system-checks-checking-po) Diagnostic Procedure.
