Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P1404 (Flash DTC 31)
EGR VSV Circuit
060RW135
Circuit Description
The Engine control module (ECM) monitors the EGR
valve input to ensure that the valve responds properly to
commands from the ECM, and to detect a fault if VSV is
stuck open. When the VSV is fixing at closed and opening
the ECM will set DTC P1404.
Diagnostic Aids
Check for the following conditions:
Poor connection or damaged VSV–inspect the wiring
harness for damage.
