DTC P1408: EGR Flow Out of Self-Test Range (Non-MIL)

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 32 other vehicles, including the 2005 Mercury Sable, 2005 Mercury Mountaineer, 2005 Mercury Monterey, 2005 Mercury Montego, and 2005 Mercury Mariner. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
P1408 - EGR FLOW OUT OF SELF-TEST RANGE (NON-MIL)

Description:  This test is carried out during the key on engine running (KOER) on-demand self-test only. The EGR system is commanded on at a fixed engine speed. The test fails and the DTC is output when the measured EGR flow falls above or below the required calibration.
Possible Causes: 
  • For electric EGR system, see possible causes for DTC P0400 .
  • For vacuum activated systems, see the possible causes for DTC P0401 .
Diagnostic Aids:  For electric EGR, use the output state control function of the diagnostic tool and monitor the MAP PID (MAP) and the EEGR PID (EGRMDSD) while commanding the EEGR on. If EGR is introduced into the engine at idle, the RPM will drop or stall out.
For vacuum systems see diagnostic aids for P0401 .
