DTC P0403: Notes

2006 Mazda 6 i, 4D Sedan, AutomaticSECTION Notes
DTC P0403 DETECTION CONDITION AND POSSIBLE CAUSES

DTC P0403 EGR valve (stepper motor) circuit problem
DETECTION CONDITION  California emission regulation applicable ATX model 
  • The PCM monitors the EGR valve control signal voltage and current. If the following conditions are met, the PCM determines that there is the EGR control circuit problem.
    • The PCM turns the EGR valve off, but the voltage of the EGR valve control signal remains low.
    • The PCM turns the EGR valve on, but the current of the EGR valve control signal remains high.

Diagnostic support note 
  • This is a continuous monitor (CCM).
  • The MIL illuminates if the PCM detects the above malfunction conditions in two consecutive drive cycles or in one drive cycle while the DTC for the same malfunction has been stored in the PCM.
  • PENDING CODE is available if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition during the first drive cycle.
  • FREEZE FRAME DATA is available.
  • The DTC is stored in the PCM memory.
Except for California emission regulation applicable ATX model 
  • The PCM monitors the input voltage from EGR valve. If the voltage remain low or high, the PCM determines that the EGR valve circuit has a malfunction.

Diagnostic support note 
  • This is a continuous monitor (CCM).
  • The MIL illuminates if the PCM detects the above malfunction conditions in two consecutive drive cycles or in one drive cycle while the DTC for the same malfunction has been stored in the PCM.
  • PENDING CODE is available if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition during first drive cycle.
  • FREEZE FRAME DATA is available.
  • Are any DTCs is stored in the PCM memory.
POSSIBLE CAUSE 
  • EGR valve malfunction
  • Connector or terminal malfunction
  • Short to power supply in wiring harness between EGR valve terminal E and PCM terminal 2K
  • Short to power supply in wiring harness between EGR valve terminal A and PCM terminal 2G
  • Short to power supply in wiring harness between EGR valve terminal B and PCM terminal 2L
  • Short to power supply in wiring harness between EGR valve terminal F and PCM terminal 2H
  • Short to ground circuit in wiring harness between EGR valve terminal E and PCM terminal 2K
  • Short to ground circuit in wiring harness between EGR valve terminal A and PCM terminal 2G
  • Short to ground circuit in wiring harness between EGR valve terminal B and PCM terminal 2L
  • Short to ground circuit in wiring harness between EGR valve terminal F and PCM terminal 2H
  • Open circuit in wiring harness between EGR valve terminal E and PCM terminal 2K
  • Open circuit in wiring harness between EGR valve terminal A and PCM terminal 2G
  • Open circuit in wiring harness between EGR valve terminal B and PCM terminal 2L
  • Open circuit in wiring harness between EGR valve terminal F and PCM terminal 2H
  • Open circuit in wiring harness between main relay terminal D and EGR valve terminal C
  • Open circuit in wiring harness between main relay terminal D and EGR valve terminal D
  • PCM malfunction

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.
