DTC P1406: DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE FEEDBACK SENSOR DOWNSTREAM HOSE OFF OR PLUGGED
| Description: | While driving, the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) monitor commands the EGR valve closed and checks the differential pressure across the EGR orifice. The test fails when the signal from the differential pressure feedback EGR sensor continues to indicate EGR flow even after the EGR valve is commanded closed. | ||
| Possible Causes: |
|
||
| Diagnostic Aids: | Look for signs of water or icing in the hose. Verify the hose connection and routing (no excessive dips). Check the differential pressure feedback EGR sensor for correct mounting and function. View the DPFEGR PID while applying and releasing vacuum directly to the sensor with a hand pump. | ||
