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

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford F-550 Super Duty, 2013 Ford F-450 Super Duty, 2013 Ford F-350 Super Duty, and 2013 Ford F-250 Super Duty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
DTC P0406: EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR) SENSOR A CIRCUIT HIGH

Description:  This DTC sets when the EGRVP circuit voltage is greater than a calibrated limit for a specified amount of time. When the EGRVP is greater than a calibrated threshold, an increment counter advances for that drive cycle. This DTC sets once an increment counter reaches a calibrated limit.
Possible Causes: 
  • EGR circuit short to voltage
  • Damaged exhaust gas recirculation valve position (EGRVP) sensor
  • Damaged EGR valve
Diagnostic Aids:  The presence of this DTC may indicate that the vehicle is operating in derate mode and may experience a loss of power. After repair, the vehicle may still display a system warning message. Drive the vehicle until the system warning message has cleared from the instrument cluster message center.
