What does this fault code mean?
The engine control module (ECM) monitors the function of the EGR valve and sets the code when the signal from the EGR valve position sensor is incorrect or unreasonable. The causes are a valve stuck in the closed position, a valve that sticks, a contact problem, or a damaged position sensor or EGR valve.
Possible causes
- The EGR valve has jammed in the closed position
- The EGR valve sticks, for example due to dirt or soot
- Contact resistance or oxidation in the connections
- Damaged position sensor
- Damaged EGR valve
What you can do
- 1Check that the fuses are intact and that the connector to the EGR valve is secure and clean.
- 2Look for dirt or soot around the EGR valve, which can make it stick in the closed position.
- 3If you have a diagnostic tool, follow the EGR valve position value in live data with the engine running and check that it follows the valve.
- 4Have a workshop with diagnostic equipment check the position sensor and the EGR valve. If either is damaged it needs replacing.
- 5After the work, clear the code and drive the car to see whether it returns.
Symptoms you may notice1
