P1405 - DPF EGR Sensor Upstream Hose Off Or Plugged

2004 Ford Focus ZX5, 2.3 Z, StandardSECTION P1405 - DPF EGR Sensor Upstream Hose Off Or Plugged
P1405 - DPF EGR SENSOR UPSTREAM HOSE OFF OR PLUGGED

Description:  While driving, the EGR monitor commands the EGR valve closed and checks the differential pressure across the EGR orifice. The test fails when the signal from the DPF EGR sensor indicates EGR flow is in the negative direction.
Possible Causes: 
  • The upstream hose is disconnected.
  • The upstream hose is plugged (ice).
  • Plugged or damaged EGR tube.
Diagnostic Aids: 
  • Look for signs of water or icing in the hose.
  • Verify the hose connection and routing (no excessive dips).
  • Verify the DPF EGR sensor for proper mounting and function. View the DPF EGR PID while applying and releasing vacuum directly to the sensor with a hand pump.
