Page language: EN

Causes

  • Open circuit in TL4226 wiring (broken wire, disconnected connector)
  • Short to battery or short to ground in TL4226 circuit
  • Corroded or damaged connector pins or terminals
  • Failed TL4226 component (valve/solenoid/sensor)
  • Poor or missing ground at component or ECU
  • Blown fuse or faulty relay supplying the circuit

Symptoms

  • Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) illuminated
  • Related system operates intermittently or not at all
  • Rough idle, hesitation or reduced engine performance
  • Possible limp-home or reduced power mode
  • Stored P1404 code (may be accompanied by other codes)
  • Symptoms may be intermittent and worsen with vibration or moisture

What to check

  • Read and record freeze-frame and related stored codes using a scan tool
  • Identify TL4226 component and pinout from factory wiring diagrams
  • Visually inspect connector, pins and wiring for damage, corrosion, or water
  • Check fuses and relays that supply the TL4226 circuit
  • Back-probe connector and check for battery voltage on power pin (key ON)
  • Verify good ground at component and chassis ground points

Signal parameters

  • Supply voltage (power pin) — near battery voltage with key ON (approx. 12 V); confirm against factory spec
  • Ground reference — near 0 V at ground terminal
  • Control signal — often a switched or PWM signal from ECM; voltage may vary 0–12 V depending on duty cycle
  • Coil or actuator resistance — typical solenoids 10–100 ohms (consult service manual for TL4226 exact value)
  • Intermittent/oscillating waveform possible when ECM is modulating the device; use oscilloscope for best results

Diagnostic algorithm

  1. Connect a professional scan tool. Read and record P1404 and any other stored/ pending codes and freeze-frame data.
  2. Consult Alfa Romeo service documentation to identify the TL4226 component, wiring colors, connector pinout and exact signal/resistance specs.
  3. Perform a thorough visual inspection of the TL4226 connector and harness route (look for chafing, heat damage, oil or water contamination).
  4. With key OFF, disconnect the TL4226 connector and inspect pins for corrosion, bent/pushed-out pins or contamination. Clean or repair as needed.
  5. Check supply circuit: with key ON (engine OFF) back-probe the power pin for battery voltage and check the fuse/relay feeding it.
  6. Check ground: measure voltage drop between TL4226 ground and a known good chassis ground while circuit is operating; verify solid
  7. Measure the device resistance (with connector disconnected) and compare to factory specification. Replace component if out of tolerance.
  8. Check control signal: with connector connected and engine running or system commanded, back-probe the control pin. Use a lab scope if available to verify proper waveform/PWM and duty cycle per factory data.
  9. Perform a wiggle test along harness while monitoring live data or DTCs to confirm intermittent faults. Repair any damaged wiring/harness and secure routing.
  10. If wiring and component check good, verify continuity between TL4226 connector and corresponding ECM pins; repair any open/shorts.
  11. If wiring and device are OK but fault persists, consider ECM driver fault — verify other ECM-driven circuits and consult factory diagnostics before replacing ECM.
  12. After repairs, clear codes and perform functional test / road test to confirm the fault does not return.

Likely causes

  • Corroded/damaged connector or pin (common failure point)
  • Open or shorted wire in the harness between TL4226 and ECM
  • Failed TL4226 device (coil/sensor out of specification)
  • Poor ground at component or chassis ground point
  • Blown fuse or related power supply interruption

Fault status

⚠️ Status
TL4226 circuit fault detected — electrical signal out of specification (open/short/intermittent). Inspect wiring, connector, device and fuses/grounds before replacing control unit.
🟡 Repair difficulty: Medium
⏱️ Diagnostic time: 1.0-2.5 hours

  • Supply voltage (power pin) — near battery voltage with key ON (approx. 12 V); confirm against factory spec
  • Ground reference — near 0 V at ground terminal
  • Control signal — often a switched or PWM signal from ECM; voltage may vary 0–12 V depending on duty cycle
  • Coil or actuator resistance — typical solenoids 10–100 ohms (consult service manual for TL4226 exact value)
  • Intermittent/oscillating waveform possible when ECM is modulating the device; use oscilloscope for best results

Diagnostic algorithm

  1. Connect a professional scan tool. Read and record P1404 and any other stored/ pending codes and freeze-frame data.
  2. Consult Alfa Romeo service documentation to identify the TL4226 component, wiring colors, connector pinout and exact signal/resistance specs.
  3. Perform a thorough visual inspection of the TL4226 connector and harness route (look for chafing, heat damage, oil or water contamination).
  4. With key OFF, disconnect the TL4226 connector and inspect pins for corrosion, bent/pushed-out pins or contamination. Clean or repair as needed.
  5. Check supply circuit: with key ON (engine OFF) back-probe the power pin for battery voltage and check the fuse/relay feeding it.
  6. Check ground: measure voltage drop between TL4226 ground and a known good chassis ground while circuit is operating; verify solid
  7. Measure the device resistance (with connector disconnected) and compare to factory specification. Replace component if out of tolerance.
  8. Check control signal: with connector connected and engine running or system commanded, back-probe the control pin. Use a lab scope if available to verify proper waveform/PWM and duty cycle per factory data.
  9. Perform a wiggle test along harness while monitoring live data or DTCs to confirm intermittent faults. Repair any damaged wiring/harness and secure routing.
  10. If wiring and component check good, verify continuity between TL4226 connector and corresponding ECM pins; repair any open/shorts.
  11. If wiring and device are OK but fault persists, consider ECM driver fault — verify other ECM-driven circuits and consult factory diagnostics before replacing ECM.
  12. After repairs, clear codes and perform functional test / road test to confirm the fault does not return.

Likely causes

  • Corroded/damaged connector or pin (common failure point)
  • Open or shorted wire in the harness between TL4226 and ECM
  • Failed TL4226 device (coil/sensor out of specification)
  • Poor ground at component or chassis ground point
  • Blown fuse or related power supply interruption

Fault status

⚠️ Status
TL4226 circuit fault detected — electrical signal out of specification (open/short/intermittent). Inspect wiring, connector, device and fuses/grounds before replacing control unit.

Causes

  • Open circuit in TL4226 wiring (broken wire, disconnected connector)
  • Short to battery or short to ground in TL4226 circuit
  • Corroded or damaged connector pins or terminals
  • Failed TL4226 component (valve/solenoid/sensor)
  • Poor or missing ground at component or ECU
  • Blown fuse or faulty relay supplying the circuit

Symptoms

  • Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) illuminated
  • Related system operates intermittently or not at all
  • Rough idle, hesitation or reduced engine performance
  • Possible limp-home or reduced power mode
  • Stored P1404 code (may be accompanied by other codes)
  • Symptoms may be intermittent and worsen with vibration or moisture

What to check

  • Read and record freeze-frame and related stored codes using a scan tool
  • Identify TL4226 component and pinout from factory wiring diagrams
  • Visually inspect connector, pins and wiring for damage, corrosion, or water
  • Check fuses and relays that supply the TL4226 circuit
  • Back-probe connector and check for battery voltage on power pin (key ON)
  • Verify good ground at component and chassis ground points

  5. Check supply circuit: with key ON (engine OFF) back-probe the power pin for battery voltage and check the fuse/relay feeding it.
  6. Check ground: measure voltage drop between TL4226 ground and a known good chassis ground while circuit is operating; verify solid
  7. Measure the device resistance (with connector disconnected) and compare to factory specification. Replace component if out of tolerance.
  8. Check control signal: with connector connected and engine running or system commanded, back-probe the control pin. Use a lab scope if available to verify proper waveform/PWM and duty cycle per factory data.
  9. Perform a wiggle test along harness while monitoring live data or DTCs to confirm intermittent faults. Repair any damaged wiring/harness and secure routing.
  10. If wiring and component check good, verify continuity between TL4226 connector and corresponding ECM pins; repair any open/shorts.
  11. If wiring and device are OK but fault persists, consider ECM driver fault — verify other ECM-driven circuits and consult factory diagnostics before replacing ECM.

Completed 100%
Page language: EN

Causes

  • Open circuit in TL4226 wiring (broken wire, disconnected connector)
  • Short to battery or short to ground in TL4226 circuit
  • Corroded or damaged connector pins or terminals
  • Failed TL4226 component (valve/solenoid/sensor)
  • Poor or missing ground at component or ECU
  • Blown fuse or faulty relay supplying the circuit

Symptoms

  • Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) illuminated
  • Related system operates intermittently or not at all
  • Rough idle, hesitation or reduced engine performance
  • Possible limp-home or reduced power mode
  • Stored P1404 code (may be accompanied by other codes)
  • Symptoms may be intermittent and worsen with vibration or moisture

What to check

  • Read and record freeze-frame and related stored codes using a scan tool
  • Identify TL4226 component and pinout from factory wiring diagrams
  • Visually inspect connector, pins and wiring for damage, corrosion, or water
  • Check fuses and relays that supply the TL4226 circuit
  • Back-probe connector and check for battery voltage on power pin (key ON)
  • Verify good ground at component and chassis ground points

Signal parameters

  • Supply voltage (power pin) — near battery voltage with key ON (approx. 12 V); confirm against factory spec
  • Ground reference — near 0 V at ground terminal
  • Control signal — often a switched or PWM signal from ECM; voltage may vary 0–12 V depending on duty cycle
  • Coil or actuator resistance — typical solenoids 10–100 ohms (consult service manual for TL4226 exact value)
  • Intermittent/oscillating waveform possible when ECM is modulating the device; use oscilloscope for best results

Diagnostic algorithm

  1. Connect a professional scan tool. Read and record P1404 and any other stored/ pending codes and freeze-frame data.
  2. Consult Alfa Romeo service documentation to identify the TL4226 component, wiring colors, connector pinout and exact signal/resistance specs.
  3. Perform a thorough visual inspection of the TL4226 connector and harness route (look for chafing, heat damage, oil or water contamination).
  4. With key OFF, disconnect the TL4226 connector and inspect pins for corrosion, bent/pushed-out pins or contamination. Clean or repair as needed.
  5. Check supply circuit: with key ON (engine OFF) back-probe the power pin for battery voltage and check the fuse/relay feeding it.
  6. Check ground: measure voltage drop between TL4226 ground and a known good chassis ground while circuit is operating; verify solid
  7. Measure the device resistance (with connector disconnected) and compare to factory specification. Replace component if out of tolerance.
  8. Check control signal: with connector connected and engine running or system commanded, back-probe the control pin. Use a lab scope if available to verify proper waveform/PWM and duty cycle per factory data.
  9. Perform a wiggle test along harness while monitoring live data or DTCs to confirm intermittent faults. Repair any damaged wiring/harness and secure routing.
  10. If wiring and component check good, verify continuity between TL4226 connector and corresponding ECM pins; repair any open/shorts.
  11. If wiring and device are OK but fault persists, consider ECM driver fault — verify other ECM-driven circuits and consult factory diagnostics before replacing ECM.
  12. After repairs, clear codes and perform functional test / road test to confirm the fault does not return.

PLYMOUTH P — Powertrain

Exhaust Gas Recirculation System Valve 2

Brand: PLYMOUTH
Views: UK: 16 EN: 26 RU: 22
AI status
Completed
ready
Completed 100%
Page language: EN

Causes

  • Open circuit in TL4226 wiring (broken wire, disconnected connector)
  • Short to battery or short to ground in TL4226 circuit
  • Corroded or damaged connector pins or terminals
  • Failed TL4226 component (valve/solenoid/sensor)
  • Poor or missing ground at component or ECU
  • Blown fuse or faulty relay supplying the circuit

Symptoms

  • Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) illuminated
  • Related system operates intermittently or not at all
  • Rough idle, hesitation or reduced engine performance
  • Possible limp-home or reduced power mode
  • Stored P1404 code (may be accompanied by other codes)
  • Symptoms may be intermittent and worsen with vibration or moisture

What to check

  • Read and record freeze-frame and related stored codes using a scan tool
  • Identify TL4226 component and pinout from factory wiring diagrams
  • Visually inspect connector, pins and wiring for damage, corrosion, or water
  • Check fuses and relays that supply the TL4226 circuit
  • Back-probe connector and check for battery voltage on power pin (key ON)
  • Verify good ground at component and chassis ground points

Signal parameters

  • Supply voltage (power pin) — near battery voltage with key ON (approx. 12 V); confirm against factory spec
  • Ground reference — near 0 V at ground terminal
  • Control signal — often a switched or PWM signal from ECM; voltage may vary 0–12 V depending on duty cycle
  • Coil or actuator resistance — typical solenoids 10–100 ohms (consult service manual for TL4226 exact value)
  • Intermittent/oscillating waveform possible when ECM is modulating the device; use oscilloscope for best results

Diagnostic algorithm

  1. Connect a professional scan tool. Read and record P1404 and any other stored/ pending codes and freeze-frame data.
  2. Consult Alfa Romeo service documentation to identify the TL4226 component, wiring colors, connector pinout and exact signal/resistance specs.
  3. Perform a thorough visual inspection of the TL4226 connector and harness route (look for chafing, heat damage, oil or water contamination).
  4. With key OFF, disconnect the TL4226 connector and inspect pins for corrosion, bent/pushed-out pins or contamination. Clean or repair as needed.
  5. Check supply circuit: with key ON (engine OFF) back-probe the power pin for battery voltage and check the fuse/relay feeding it.
  6. Check ground: measure voltage drop between TL4226 ground and a known good chassis ground while circuit is operating; verify solid
  7. Measure the device resistance (with connector disconnected) and compare to factory specification. Replace component if out of tolerance.
  8. Check control signal: with connector connected and engine running or system commanded, back-probe the control pin. Use a lab scope if available to verify proper waveform/PWM and duty cycle per factory data.
  9. Perform a wiggle test along harness while monitoring live data or DTCs to confirm intermittent faults. Repair any damaged wiring/harness and secure routing.
  10. If wiring and component check good, verify continuity between TL4226 connector and corresponding ECM pins; repair any open/shorts.
  11. If wiring and device are OK but fault persists, consider ECM driver fault — verify other ECM-driven circuits and consult factory diagnostics before replacing ECM.
  12. After repairs, clear codes and perform functional test / road test to confirm the fault does not return.

Likely causes

  • Corroded/damaged connector or pin (common failure point)
  • Open or shorted wire in the harness between TL4226 and ECM
  • Failed TL4226 device (coil/sensor out of specification)
  • Poor ground at component or chassis ground point
  • Blown fuse or related power supply interruption

Fault status

⚠️ Status
TL4226 circuit fault detected — electrical signal out of specification (open/short/intermittent). Inspect wiring, connector, device and fuses/grounds before replacing control unit.
🟡 Repair difficulty: Medium
⏱️ Diagnostic time: 1.0-2.5 hours

  8. Check control signal: with connector connected and engine running or system commanded, back-probe the control pin. Use a lab scope if available to verify proper waveform/PWM and duty cycle per factory data.
  9. Perform a wiggle test along harness while monitoring live data or DTCs to confirm intermittent faults. Repair any damaged wiring/harness and secure routing.
  10. If wiring and component check good, verify continuity between TL4226 connector and corresponding ECM pins; repair any open/shorts.
  11. If wiring and device are OK but fault persists, consider ECM driver fault — verify other ECM-driven circuits and consult factory diagnostics before replacing ECM.
  12. After repairs, clear codes and perform functional test / road test to confirm the fault does not return.

Likely causes

  • Corroded/damaged connector or pin (common failure point)
  • Open or shorted wire in the harness between TL4226 and ECM
  • Failed TL4226 device (coil/sensor out of specification)

P1404

VOLKSWAGEN P — Powertrain

EGR Flow Adaptation Not Carried Out

Completed 100%
Page language: EN

Causes

  • Open circuit in TL4226 wiring (broken wire, disconnected connector)
  • Short to battery or short to ground in TL4226 circuit
  • Corroded or damaged connector pins or terminals
  • Failed TL4226 component (valve/solenoid/sensor)
  • Poor or missing ground at component or ECU
  • Blown fuse or faulty relay supplying the circuit

Symptoms

  • Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) illuminated
  • Related system operates intermittently or not at all
  • Rough idle, hesitation or reduced engine performance
  • Possible limp-home or reduced power mode
  • Stored P1404 code (may be accompanied by other codes)
  • Symptoms may be intermittent and worsen with vibration or moisture

What to check

  • Read and record freeze-frame and related stored codes using a scan tool
  • Identify TL4226 component and pinout from factory wiring diagrams
  • Visually inspect connector, pins and wiring for damage, corrosion, or water
  • Check fuses and relays that supply the TL4226 circuit
  • Back-probe connector and check for battery voltage on power pin (key ON)
  • Verify good ground at component and chassis ground points

Signal parameters

  • Supply voltage (power pin) — near battery voltage with key ON (approx. 12 V); confirm against factory spec
  • Ground reference — near 0 V at ground terminal
  • Control signal — often a switched or PWM signal from ECM; voltage may vary 0–12 V depending on duty cycle
  • Coil or actuator resistance — typical solenoids 10–100 ohms (consult service manual for TL4226 exact value)
  • Intermittent/oscillating waveform possible when ECM is modulating the device; use oscilloscope for best results

Diagnostic algorithm

  1. Connect a professional scan tool. Read and record P1404 and any other stored/ pending codes and freeze-frame data.
  2. Consult Alfa Romeo service documentation to identify the TL4226 component, wiring colors, connector pinout and exact signal/resistance specs.
  3. Perform a thorough visual inspection of the TL4226 connector and harness route (look for chafing, heat damage, oil or water contamination).
  4. With key OFF, disconnect the TL4226 connector and inspect pins for corrosion, bent/pushed-out pins or contamination. Clean or repair as needed.
  5. Check supply circuit: with key ON (engine OFF) back-probe the power pin for battery voltage and check the fuse/relay feeding it.
  6. Check ground: measure voltage drop between TL4226 ground and a known good chassis ground while circuit is operating; verify solid
  7. Measure the device resistance (with connector disconnected) and compare to factory specification. Replace component if out of tolerance.
  8. Check control signal: with connector connected and engine running or system commanded, back-probe the control pin. Use a lab scope if available to verify proper waveform/PWM and duty cycle per factory data.
  9. Perform a wiggle test along harness while monitoring live data or DTCs to confirm intermittent faults. Repair any damaged wiring/harness and secure routing.
  10. If wiring and component check good, verify continuity between TL4226 connector and corresponding ECM pins; repair any open/shorts.
  11. If wiring and device are OK but fault persists, consider ECM driver fault — verify other ECM-driven circuits and consult factory diagnostics before replacing ECM.
  12. After repairs, clear codes and perform functional test / road test to confirm the fault does not return.
