What repairs can fix the P0405 code?

Here are the common triggers of the P0403 code:

• Faulty EGR valve.
• Faulty EGR vacuum solenoid.
• Carbon build-up in the EGR passages.
• Lack of proper vacuum to the EGR valve.
• EGR control circuit issues, such as damaged wires or poor connections.
• An issue with the PCM.

How to Fix

1. Use vacuum pump to open the EGR valve while monitoring the DPFE voltage and RPM engine.
2. Clean the EGR valve and tubing to remove the deposits.
3. Check the voltage at DPFE and compare to specified values, You can also refer to your repair manual for your specific model.

1. Replacing the EGR position sensor after the wiring is checked to be okay.
2. Repairing the wiring short to the EGR position sensor or connector signal return.
3. Repairing an open in the voltage reference to the EGR sensor.

What repairs can fix the P0403 code?

1. Replacing the shorted or open EGR vacuum solenoid.
2. Replacing a corroded connector to the EGR vacuum control solenoid.
3. Repairing the wiring shorted to the EGR vacuum control solenoid.

A common problem with EGR valves is that they clog up with soot and don’t function properly. You can clean your valve with carb cleaner and refit it. Or, you can blank or bypass the valve completely.

You can improve your fuel efficiency with an EGR delete. That makes the process more efficient while reducing the risk of a diesel particulate filter failure. You may see up to a 20% increase in your fuel economy when using this product option while promoting improved longevity of the engine at the same time.
