DTC P0403: Exhaust Gas RECIRCULATION (EGR) Control Circuit

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 25 other vehicles, including the 2013 Lincoln Navigator, 2013 Lincoln MKZ, 2013 Lincoln MKX, 2013 Lincoln MKT, and 2013 Lincoln MKS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
DTC P0403: EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR) CONTROL CIRCUIT

For Vehicles with an EGR system module (ESM) 
Description:  This test checks the electrical function of the EGR vacuum regulator solenoid. The test fails when the EVR circuit voltage is either too high or too low when compared to the expected voltage range. The EGR system must be enabled for the test to be completed.
Possible Causes: 
  • EVR circuit open
  • EVR circuit short to voltage
  • EVR circuit short to ground
  • VPWR circuit open to EGR vacuum regulator solenoid
  • EGR vacuum regulator solenoid
  • Damaged PCM
Diagnostic Aids:  The EGR vacuum regulator solenoid resistance is between 26 and 40 ohms.
For All Others 
Description:  The electric EGR (EEGR) system is continuously monitored to check the four EEGR motor coils, circuits, and the PCM for opens, shorts to voltage and ground. If a concern is detected, the EEGR system is disabled and additional monitoring is suspended for the remainder of the drive until the next drive cycle.
Possible Causes: 
  • EEGR stepper motor windings open
  • EEGR connector not seated correctly
  • EGRMC circuit open
  • EGRMC circuit short to voltage
  • EGRMC circuit short to ground
  • Damaged PCM
