2014 Jeep Wrangler JK Factory Service Manual 28 - DTC-Based Diagnostics

P245D-EGR COOLER BYPASS CONTROL CIRCUIT HIGH



For a complete wiring diagram, refer to the Wiring Information.


Theory of Operation

The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Cooler Bypass Valve Actuator is used to redirect the EGR gases around the cooler when the engine is under certain operating conditions. The EGR Cooler Bypass Valve Actuator is an electronic actuator that controls vacuum supply to the EGR Cooler. It is located underneath the Intake Manifold Assembly. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) will light a MIL lamp after this monitor runs and fails in two consecutive drive cycles. The PCM will turn off the MIL lamp after the diagnostic passes in four consecutive drive cycles.


Possible Causes

(K670) EGR COOLER BYPASS VALVE ACTUATOR CONTROL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO VOLTAGE
EGR COOLER BYPASS VALVE
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM)

Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 28 - DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure).


1. ACTIVE DTC


1. Turn the ignition on.
2. With the scan tool, read DTCs.


Is the DTC active?

Yes


No


2. CHECK THE (K670) EGR COOLER BYPASS VALVE ACTUATOR CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE



1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the EGR Cooler Bypass Valve Actuator harness connector.
3. Disconnect the PCM C1 harness connector.
4. Turn the ignition on.
5. Measure the voltage of the (K670) EGR Cooler Bypass Valve Actuator Control circuit at the EGR Cooler Bypass Valve harness connector.


Is there any voltage present?

Yes


No


3. EGR COOLER BYPASS VALVE ACTUATOR


1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Reconnect the PCM C1 harness connector.
3. Connect a jumper between ground and the (K670) EGR Cooler Bypass Valve Actuator Control circuit at the EGR Cooler Bypass Valve Actuator harness connector.
4. Turn the ignition on.
5. With the scan tool, view DTCs.


NOTE: The P245A-EGR COOLER BYPASS CONTROL CIRCUIT LOW DTC should set as active or pending with the jumper in place.


Did the DTC set as described above?

Yes


No


4. POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE


1. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors between the Oxygen Sensor and the Powertrain Control Module.
2. Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires.
3. Look for broken, bent, pushed out or corroded terminals.
4. Refer to any Technical Service Bulletins that may apply.


Were any problems found?

Yes


No
