DTC P0402: Exhaust Gas RECIRCULATION (EGR) Flow Excessive Detected

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 P0402: EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR) FLOW EXCESSIVE DETECTED

Description:	The EGR system is monitored for undesired EGR flow during idle. The EGR monitor looks at the differential pressure feedback EGR (DPFE) signal at idle and compares it to the stored signal measured during ignition ON, engine OFF. The test does not pass when the signal at idle is greater than at ignition ON, engine OFF by a calibrated amount.
Possible Causes:	EGR valve stuck open Plugged EGR vacuum regulator solenoid vent Plugged EGR tube Slow responding differential pressure feedback EGR sensor Damaged differential pressure feedback EGR sensor Incorrect vacuum hose connection Plugged vacuum hoses EVR circuit short to ground Damaged EGR vacuum regulator solenoid
Diagnostic Aids:	A DPFEGR PID reading that is greater at idle than during KOEO by 0.5 volt or a rough engine idle may indicate a hard fault.
Application	Key On Engine Off	Key On Engine Running	Continuous Memory
