P1410 LEXUS, TOYOTA: EGR VALVE POSITION SENSOR CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION
The EGR system (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) is designed to reduce the temperatures resulting from combustion and thus, the production of nitrogen oxide emissions is significantly reduced. In order to achieve its objective, the EGR returns the exhaust gases back into the cylinder so that they are burned together with the air/fuel mixture. This means that the exhaust gas burns more slowly.
The Exhaust Gas Recirculation has a valve that directly controls the Powertrain Control Module. When this valve is opened, the exhaust gas flows into the cylinders. Also included in this system is the EGR Valve Position Sensor (EVP), which tells the PCM what position the valve is in.
Diagnostic code P1410 OBD2 is set on Toyota and Lexus vehicles if the PCM finds a malfunction in the EGR Valve Position Sensor circuit.
DTC P1410 OBDII is stored for one of the following reasons:
The steps to follow to correct the P1410 OBD2 fault code are:
