DTC P0403: EGR Solenoid Control Circuit: Description

The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve pintle position input in order to ensure that the valve responds properly to the commands from the PCM. The linear EGR valve is controlled by using an ignition positive driver and ground circuit within the PCM. The driver can detect an electrical malfunction in the ignition positive or ground circuit. If an electrical malfunction occurs, the driver signals the PCM to set this Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC).
