DTC P0403: Exhaust Gas RECIRCULATION (EGR) Control Circuit

2010 Ford Fusion SEL, 2.5 ASECTION DTC P0403: Exhaust Gas RECIRCULATION (EGR) Control Circuit
DTC P0403: EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR) CONTROL CIRCUIT

For Vehicles With an Electric EGR (EEGR) 
Description:  The electric EGR (EEGR) system is continuously monitored to check the four EEGR motor coils, circuits, and the powertrain control module (PCM) for opens, shorts to voltage and ground. If a concern is detected, the EEGR system is disabled and additional monitoring is suspended for the remainder of the drive until the next drive cycle.
Possible Causes: 
  • EEGR motor windings open
  • EEGR connector not seated correctly
  • Open circuit in the harness from the PCM to the EEGR
  • Short circuit in the EEGR motor
  • Short circuit in the harness from the PCM to the EEGR
  • PCM
Diagnostic Aids: 
For All Others 
Description:  This test checks the electrical function of the EGR vacuum regulator solenoid. The test fails when the EVR circuit voltage is either too high or too low when compared to the expected voltage range. The EGR system must be enabled for the test to be completed.
Possible Causes: 
  • EVR circuit open
  • EVR circuit short to voltage or ground
  • VPWR open to EGR vacuum regulator solenoid
  • EGR vacuum regulator solenoid
  • PCM
Diagnostic Aids:  The EGR vacuum regulator solenoid resistance is between 26 and 40 ohms.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
