DTC P0400: Exhaust Gas RECIRCULATION (EGR) Flow

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 30 other vehicles, including the 2006 Mercury Mountaineer, 2006 Mercury Monterey, 2006 Mercury Montego, 2006 Mercury Mariner, and 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
P0400 - EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR) FLOW

Description:  The electric EGR (EEGR) system is monitored once per drive cycle during steady state conditions above 77 km/h (48 mph). The test fails when a concern is detected by powertrain control module (PCM) calculations indicating the EGR flow is less or greater than expected.
Possible Causes: 
  • EEGR valve stuck open or closed
  • Connector to EEGR not seated
  • EEGR motor winding circuits short or open
  • No voltage to the EEGR
  • Harness open or shorted to voltage or ground
  • Vacuum signal to manifold absolute pressure (MAP) restricted or leaking
  • Mass air flow (MAF) sensor signal erroneous
  • Carbon build up in the EEGR valve seat area
  • One or more sensors is not responding or is out of range
Diagnostic Aids:  All of the following sensors input data to the PCM for correct operation of the EEGR system: engine coolant temperature (ECT), crankshaft position (CKP), intake air temperature (IAT), MAF, throttle position (TP), MAP. Any DTC relating to these sensors must be resolved prior to addressing code P0400.
