Interesting you mention that, but wasn't an EGR pipe mentioned in the recent recall?

I was wondering that too. I was assuming either 2 things 1 is that since his is a 05 vitz its older and maybe utilizes a egr system.

or 2 the mechanic who is working on his car is a idiot and just made up some code. Most mechanics know that when a egr code pops up you simply test the egr with a vacuum pump if egr tests good then its a solinoid if its electronic operated if not then the egr pintle is stuck or the pipe is severely crudded up restricting flow. Either way it can usually be fixed by cleaning the egr system.

this could be the culprit . The defective E.G.R. unit being recalled . Do you happen to smell any exhaust fumes in the car ? If so , most likely the E.G.R. pipe has broke . Get it to dealer service soon as possible .

Hi,

I finally got the codes. Its;

p0403
p1589
p1605

Upon clearing the codes from the OBD-II scanner the 2nd and 3rd codes disappears but the first one i.e. P0403 remains uncleared.

What should be done ????

"mechanic did add oil through air intake pipe. "

Hi to all.

I finally change my car's EGR thing. Cost me around 100$.

P0403 and P1605 are gone.

Error code P1589 is still active and so is the ML (CHK engine light)

In the scanner the code this code is describe as;

"Acceleration sensor learning value"

The scanner is X431.

any ideas about it.

help needed again.
