CONDITION
Some vehicles may set a false OBD II DTC P1404.
CAUSE
Electronic noise in the vehicle may create momentary false "low" exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) pintle position feedback signal values. Severe occurrences may cause the vehicle control module (VCM) to set a P1404 DTC because the VCM perceives that the EGR valve is stuck open.
CORRECTION
1. Using the Tech 2 Scan Tool, exercise the EGR valve and verify the valve's actual and desired position track. 2. Following steps 1, 2 and 3 of the Strategy Based Diagnostics, determine if the vehicle has an actual EGR valve condition. If there is a valve condition, perform the appropriate repair procedures. 3. Finally, reflash the VCM with the new software and corresponding calibrations
