P0403: EGR Vacuum Regulator Solenoid Circuit Malfunction (Vehicles With Out Electric EGR)

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 30 other vehicles, including the 2004 Mercury Sable, 2004 Mercury Mountaineer, 2004 Mercury Monterey, 2004 Mercury Marauder, and 2004 Mercury Grand Marquis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
P0403 - EGR VACUUM REGULATOR SOLENOID CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION (VEHICLES WITH OUT ELECTRIC EGR)

Description:  This test checks the electrical function of the EGRVR solenoid. The test fails when the EGRVR circuit voltage is either too high or too low when compared to the expected voltage range. The EGR system must be enabled for the test to be completed.
Possible Causes: 
  • EGRVR circuit open.
  • VPWR open to EGRVR solenoid.
  • EGRVR circuit short to VPWR or GND.
  • Damaged EGRVR solenoid.
  • Damaged PCM.
Diagnostic Aids:  The EGR vacuum regulator solenoid resistance is between 26 and 40 ohms.
