DTC P0404: EGR Control Circuit Range/Performance: Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 GMC Savana and 2003 Chevrolet Chevy Express. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors the EGR position sensor parameter of the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve to ensure that the valve responds properly to commands from the PCM. The PCM compares the EGR position sensor parameter with the desired EGR position parameter when the valve is commanded open. If the PCM detects a difference of 12 percent between the EGR position sensor parameter and desired EGR position parameter for a calibrated amount of time DTC P0404 will set.
