What does this fault code mean?
The fault is set when the engine control module finds a fault in the intake control during soot burning and the signal is above the permitted limit. The code is named as a bus or message fault, but the condition concerns the intake control during soot burning.
Possible causes
- Fault code ECM-P040484 may have the same cause and should be read at the same time
- Air leak in the intake system
- Contact resistance or oxidation in the connectors
- Sticking EGR valve
- Damaged throttle unit
What you can do
- 1Read out any other stored fault codes first and deal with them before going further
- 2Check that the EGR valve is fitted securely and that its connector is free from oxidation
- 3Check that the intake air does not leak, for example at hoses and connections
- 4Check that the throttle unit connector is secure and that the damper is not sticking
- 5Look for damage to the EGR valve's O-ring and its gasket
- 6If the fault remains, have a workshop check the throttle unit and the intake system
