DTC P0406: Exhaust Gas RECIRCULATION (EGR) Sensor A Circuit High

P0406 - EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR) SENSOR A CIRCUIT HIGH

Description:  The EGR monitor checks the EGR sensor signal to the powertrain control module (PCM) for high voltage. The test fails when the average voltage to the PCM exceeds the maximum calibrated value.
Possible Causes: 
  • Differential pressure feedback EGR (DPFEGR) circuit open
  • VREF short to voltage
  • Damaged DPFEGR sensor
  • DPFE circuit short to voltage
  • SIG RTN circuit open
Diagnostic Aids:  A DPFEGR PID reading greater than 4.5 volts 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 .
