P0405 - Exhaust Gas RECIRCULATION (EGR) Sensor A Circuit Low

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 32 other vehicles, including the 2007 Mercury Mountaineer, 2007 Mercury Monterey, 2007 Mercury Montego, 2007 Mercury Milan, and 2007 Mercury Mariner. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
P0405 - EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR) SENSOR A CIRCUIT LOW

Description:  The EGR monitor checks the differential pressure feedback EGR 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: 
  • Differential pressure feedback EGR circuit short to ground
  • Damaged differential pressure feedback EGR sensor
  • VREF circuit 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) refer to PINPOINT TEST HH .
All others refer to PINPOINT TEST HE .
