Problem overview

Some Toyota Land Cruiser owners report experiencing recurring EGR valve fault codes after long trips, which may indicate several underlying issues. These owners have noted that a malfunctioning EGR valve can lead to fault codes like P0400, signaling problems within the EGR system. Additionally, some have encountered issues with a faulty EGR temperature sensor that fails to register temperature changes, further complicating the EGR system's functionality. Blocked EGR passages have also been reported, preventing the proper flow of exhaust gas and contributing to these fault codes. Furthermore, the heat build-up from extended drives can exacerbate existing EGR problems, triggering additional fault codes. To resolve these issues, it is recommended that owners seek inspection and diagnosis from a qualified mechanic to ensure optimal performance and prevent future occurrences. Regular maintenance and prompt attention to fault codes are essential for maintaining the efficiency and reliability of the vehicle's engine system.
