DTC P0404: EGR System: 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 commands from the PCM. The PCM compares the EGR position sensor with desired EGR position when the valve is commanded open. If the difference between the EGR position sensor and desired EGR position is more than 15 percent this Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set.
