    For DTC P1406, GO to  HE31.    		 For symptoms without DTCs, GO to  HE57.
    For all others, GO to DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) CHARTS AND DESCRIPTIONS .
  2. HE2 DTC P0405: DETERMINE THE PRESENT DPFEGR PID VOLTAGE 
    NOTE: Depending on the application, verify a prior repair has not resulted in the differential pressure feedback EGR sensor being installed backwards or the vacuum hoses being installed on the opposite ports.
    • Ignition ON, engine OFF.
    • Access the PCM and monitor the DPFEGR PID.

    Is the voltage less than 0.05 V?

      (+) Differential Pressure Feedback EGR Sensor Connector, Harness Side (-) Differential Pressure Feedback EGR Sensor Connector, Harness Side
      VREF - Pin 1 SIGRTN - Pin 2

    Is the voltage between 4 - 5.5 V? 

    Yes No
    GO to  HE4. GO to PINPOINT TEST C .
  4. HE4 CHECK THE DPFE CIRCUIT(S) FOR A SHORT TO SIGRTN OR GND IN THE HARNESS

    Yes No
    INSTALL a new Differential Pressure Feedback EGR sensor.
    After installing the new differential pressure feedback EGR sensor, TURN the ignition to the ON position for approximately 5 seconds before starting. This allows the PCM to calibrate itself to the new differential pressure feedback EGR sensor. Failure to do this may result in an incorrect DTC P0402.
    CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.    		 GO to  HE66.
  6. HE6 DTC P0406: DETERMINE THE PRESENT DPFEGR PID VOLTAGE 
    • Ignition ON, engine OFF.

    Yes No
    GO to  HE7. An intermittent concern is suspected in the EGR system.
    GO to  HE12.
  7. HE7 CHECK THE VREF VOLTAGE TO THE DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE FEEDBACK EGR SENSOR 
    • Ignition OFF.
    • Differential Pressure Feedback EGR Sensor connector disconnected.
    • Ignition ON, engine OFF.
    • Measure the voltage between:
      (+) Differential Pressure Feedback EGR Sensor Connector, Harness Side (-) Differential Pressure Feedback EGR Sensor Connector, Harness Side
      VREF - Pin 1 SIGRTN - Pin 2

    Is the voltage between 4 - 5.5 V?

      VREF - Pin E57 DPFE - Pin E21

    Is the resistance greater than 10K ohms? 

    Yes No
    GO to  HE10. REPAIR the short circuit. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
  10. HE10 CHECK THE DPFE CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO VOLTAGE

    • Ignition ON, engine OFF.
    • Access the PCM and monitor the DPFEGR PID.

    Is the DPFEGR PID greater than 4.5 V with the jumper wire removed and is the DPFEGR PID less than 0.1 V with the jumper wire installed? 

    Yes No
    INSTALL a new Differential Pressure Feedback EGR sensor. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. GO to  HE66.
  12. HE12 CARRY OUT A THOROUGH WIGGLE TEST ON THE DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE FEEDBACK EGR HARNESS 
    • Access the PCM and monitor the DPFEGR PID.
    • Wiggle, shake, and bend small sections of the wiring harness while working from the sensor to the PCM.

    Is there any change in the voltage reading, or is a concern present? 

    Yes No
    REPAIR as necessary.

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.
