DTC P0405: Exhaust Gas RECIRCULATION (EGR) Sensor A Circuit Low

P0405 - EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR) SENSOR A CIRCUIT LOW

Description:  The EGR monitor checks the differential pressure feedback EGR (DPFEGR) sensor signal to the powertrain control module (PCM) for low voltage. The test fails when the average voltage to the PCM drops to a voltage less than the minimum calibrated value.
Possible Causes: 
  • DPFE circuit short to ground
  • Damaged DPFEGR sensor
  • VREF short to ground
Diagnostic Aids:  A DPFEGR PID reading less than 0.05 volt with the key ON, engine OFF or running indicates a hard fault.
Application  Key On Engine Off  Key On Engine Running  Continuous Memory 
Vehicles with an EGR system module (ESM) GO to Pinpoint Test HH .
All others GO to Pinpoint Test HE .
