P0404 - EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR) CONTROL CIRCUIT RANGE/PERFORMANCE

Description:  The EGR valve commanded position compared to the actual position does not match within a calibrated range and time period.
Possible Causes: 
  • EGR sensor
  • EGR actuator
  • EGR position circuit
  • Powertrain control module (PCM)
  • Variable geometry turbocharger (VGT) system
  • Exhaust pressure (EP) sensor bias
  • Initial learned EGR closed position
  • Excessive exhaust pressure
Diagnostic Aids:  Components that affect air flow and pressure in the exhaust system can affect the EGR valve position compared to the commanded position.
When a new EGR actuator is installed, the keep alive memory (KAM) needs to be reset to learn the new EGR valve closed position, refer to RESETTING THE KEEP ALIVE MEMORY (KAM) .
