What this code means

The PCM has detected a failure in the Exhaust Gas Recirculation system. The EGR valve is not operating as commanded, resulting in incorrect exhaust gas recirculation which affects emissions and can cause driveability issues.

Common causes

  • Stuck or clogged EGR valve
  • EGR passages blocked with carbon
  • Faulty EGR solenoid or transducer
  • Vacuum supply issue to EGR valve
  • Faulty EGR position sensor

Diagnostic steps

  1. Command EGR valve open with scan tool and monitor engine response
  2. Inspect EGR valve for carbon buildup
  3. Check vacuum supply to EGR valve
  4. Test EGR solenoid operation
  5. Clean EGR passages and valve

Repair notes

Clean or replace the EGR valve and clean all EGR passages of carbon deposits.
