SUBJECT:
MIL Due To DTC P0401 - EGR Solenoid Circuit Negative Deviation Or System Performance OVERVIEW:
This bulletin involves the replacement of the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve and, if not already performed, the reprogramming of the Engine Control Module (ECM).

MODELS:

2005

(KJ)

Liberty / Cherokee

SYMPTOM/CONDITION:

The customer may experience an illumination of the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL).

Diagnosis may reveal that the MIL is caused primarily by Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0401 - EGR Solenoid Circuit Negative Deviation / EGR System Performance..

Three other less frequent DTC's may be present along with DTC P0401, those DTC's are:

P0101 - MAF Sensor Signal Negative/Positive Deviation,

P0299 - Boost Pressure Sensor Positive Deviation,

P0402 - EGR Solenoid Circuit Positive Deviation.

DIAGNOSIS:

1.	Use TechCONNECT to obtain the 2006 KJ 2.8L Service Information for engine diagnostic procedures. For the 2005 KJ, perform the 2006 KJ 2.8L diagnostic test for DTC P0401 (Service Information tab / 9 - Engine / Diagnosis & Testing / P0401 - EGR Solenoid Circuit Negative Deviation).
2.	If the EGR valve is determined to be at fault perform the Repair Procedure.
