Circuit Description

The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve is driven by the EGR motor, and the EGR motor is controlled by the engine control module (ECM). The EGR position sensor generates a signal according to the position of the EGR motor. The EGR valve has the following circuits:

    • The EGR motor U position drive circuit
    • The EGR motor V position drive circuit
    • The EGR motor W position drive circuit
    • A 5-volt reference circuit
    • A low reference circuit
    • The EGR motor U position signal circuit
    • The EGR motor V position signal circuit
    • The EGR motor W position signal circuit

The ECM supplies voltage to the EGR motor on the EGR motor drive circuits. The EGR valve is controlled by the time of voltage supply from the ECM to the EGR motor. When the time of voltage supply increases, the EGR valve position decreases. If the ECM detects the difference between the target EGR position and the actual EGR position is large, this DTC will set.

DTC Descriptor

This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:

DTC P2902 Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Brushless Motor Performance Error

Conditions for Running the DTC
    • The ignition switch is ON.
    • The battery voltage is between 10-16 volts.
    • The engine is running.
    • The deviation of target EGR position is 0.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The difference between the target EGR position and the actual EGR position is more than the threshold.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
    • The ECM illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) when the diagnostic runs and fails.
    • The ECM records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The ECM stores this information in the Failure Records.
    • The ECM closes the EGR valve and stops the EGR motor.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC
    • A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the diagnostic runs and passes.
    • Clear the MIL and the DTC with a scan tool.
