Code No. P1475: Exhaust differential pressure sensor ambient air temperature sensor Circuit High Input <Vehicle with DPF>

OPERATION

A power voltage of 5 V is applied to the exhaust differential pressure sensor ambient air temperature sensor output terminal (terminal No. 1) from the engine-ECU (terminal No. 44).
The power voltage is earthed to the engine-ECU (terminal No. 69) from the exhaust differential pressure sensor ambient air temperature sensor (terminal No. 2).

FUNCTION

The exhaust differential pressure sensor ambient air temperature sensor converts the exhaust differential pressure sensor ambient air temperature into a voltage and inputs the voltage signal to the engine-ECU.
Engine-ECU uses this voltage for DPF regeneration control.
The exhaust differential pressure sensor ambient air temperature sensor is a kind of resistor, which has characteristics to reduce its resistance as the exhaust differential pressure sensor ambient air temperature rises. Therefore, the sensor output voltage varies with the exhaust differential pressure sensor ambient air temperature, and becomes lower as the exhaust differential pressure sensor ambient air temperature rises.

TROUBLE JUDGMENT

Check Conditions

Battery positive voltage is 8 - 16 V.
2 seconds later after the ignition switch has been in "ON" position or the engine has started up.
Vehicle speed is 20 km/h or higher.

Judgment Criterion

The exhaust differential pressure sensor ambient air temperature sensor output voltage is 4.82 V or more.

PROBABLE CAUSES

Failed exhaust differential pressure sensor ambient air temperature sensor
Open circuit in exhaust differential pressure sensor ambient air temperature sensor circuit or loose connector contact
Failed engine-ECU
