Technical explanation

EGR A Control Circuit/Open. The supplemented diagnostic sections include their sources. This is general guidance; verify applicability to the exact vehicle.

Symptoms

  • Engine warning light; running may become uneven.

Possible causes

  • 01Open or shorted EGR control circuit.
  • 02EGR actuator or connector fault.

Diagnostic checks

  • 01Check EGR supply, wiring and control against the circuit diagram first. P0403 is a circuit fault, not the same as insufficient flow P0401.

System and diagnostic diagrams

Conceptual illustrations of the system; verify the actual configuration and tests in vehicle-specific documentation.
