Egr sensor code 39 jaguarxj6 1990 - 1990 Jaguar XJ6

A code P0401 most likely means one or more of the following has happened:

• The DPFE (differential pressure feedback EGR) sensor is faulty and needs to be replaced
• There is a blockage in the EGR (tube), most likely carbon buildup
• The EGR valve is faulty
• The EGR valve may not be opening due to a lack of vaccuum

Possible SolutionsIn fixing this code, it is quite common for people to just replace the EGR valve only to have the OBD code return. The EGR valve is not always the culprit.

• Use a vacuum pump and pull the EGR valve open while monitoring engine RPM's & DPFE voltage. There should be a noticable difference in RPM's with the EGR open
• Clean out the EGR valve and/or tubing to remove deposits
• Check the voltage at the DPFE, compare to specified values (refer to a repair manual for your specific model)
• Replace the DPFE sensor (with a good quality / OEM one)
• Replace the EGR valve

Codes don't have a certain location, a code means a problem has occurred in a system of the electronics of the cars fuel control or emission control system.
P1401 NISSAN - EGR Temperature SensorPossible causes- EGR Temperature Sensor harness is open or shorted
- EGR Temperature Sensor circuit poor electrical connection
- Faulty EGR Temperature Sensor
- Malfunction of EGR function, EGRC-BPT valve or EGRC-solenoid valve
- Blocked EGR passages When is the code detected?An excessively low voltage from the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) temperature sensor is sent to Engine Control Module (ECM) even when engine coolant temperature is low, or an excessively high voltage from the EGR temperature sensor is sent to ECM even when engine coolant temperature is high.
P1401 NISSAN Description The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) temperature sensor detects temperature changes in the EGR passage way. When the EGR valve opens, hot exhaust gases flow, and the temperature in the passage way changes. The EGR temperature sensor is a thermistor that modifies a voltage signal sent from the Engine Control Module (ECM). This modified signal then returns to the ECM as an input signal. As the temperature increases, EGR temperature sensor resistance decreases.
This sensor is not used to control the engine system. It is used only for the on board diagnosis

Here is a list of possible causes. Some things you have already done.

EGR solenoid valve harness is open or shorted
- EGR solenoid valve circuit poor electrical connection
- EGR volume control valve stuck closed
- Faulty EGR Pressure sensor
- Faulty EGR temperature sensor and circuit
- Faulty EGR Valve
- EGR passage clogged
- Exhaust gas leaks

Hi there:



P0401 OBD-II Trouble Code - Insufficient EGR Flow
EGR stands for Exhaust Gas Recirculation. It is part of the vehicle emmissions system, and is used to reduce combustion temperature and pressure to control Oxides of Nitrogen. There are generally three parts to the EGR system: the EGR valve, an actuator solenoid, and a differential pressure sensor EGR (DPFE). These things work together to deliver the correct amount of recirculation based on engine temperature, load, etc. The P0401 code means that OBD detected an insufficient amount of EGR.


Symptoms: You may notice drivability problems such as pinging (a.k.a. pre-ignition knock) when the engine is under load or the vehicle is at higher speeds. There may also be other symptoms.

P0402 OBD-II Trouble Code - Exhaust Gas Recirculation Flow (EGR) Excessive Detected
EGR stands for Exhaust Gas Recirculation. It is part of the vehicle emmissions system, and is used to reduce combustion temperature and pressure to control Oxides of Nitrogen. There are generally three parts to the EGR system: the EGR valve, an actuator solenoid, and a differential pressure sensor (DPF). These things work together to deliver the correct amount of recirculation based on engine temperature, load, etc. The P0402 code means that OBD detected an excessive amount of EGR.


Symptoms: You may notice drivability problems such as the engine may surge off idle. There may also be other symptoms.

The DPFE (differential pressure) sensor is faulty and needs to be replaced
There is a blockage in the EGR (most likely carbon buildup)
The EGR valve is faulty
The EGR valve may not be opening due to a lack of vaccuum


Possible Solutions: with a P0402, it is common for people to replace the EGR valve, only to have the problem return. The most likely solution is to replace the DPFE sensor.


Check the voltage at the DPFE sensor both at idle and when the EGR is open
Replace the DPFE sensor

P1150 OBD-II Trouble Code - Air/Fuel Sensor Circuit Range/Performance (Bank 1 Sensor 2)


P1151 OBD-II Trouble Code - Lack of Upstream Heated Oxygen Sensor Switch - Sensor Indicates Lean - Bank No. 2
upstream is considered the oxygen sensor for the right side exhaust manifold, before the catalytic convertor. Make sure the sensor's electrical connection is in good condition. On the sensor, test between the terminals with an multimeter/ohmmeter. You should see about 6 ohms at 68*F. If not, replace.

The reason your engine is doing that is because the sensor is failing in such a way that the computer is dumping in extra fuel when it isn't really needed. Then you get the black smoke.





Hope this helps.

Technical Description

Knock Sensor Circuit Malfunction
What does that mean?

A knock sensor tells the engine computer when one or more of your engine's cylinders are "knocking", that is, exploding the air/fuel mixture in a way that delivers less power and can be damaging to the engine if prolonged. The computer uses this information to tune the engine so that it doesn't knock. If your knock sensor wasn't operating properly, so that it was always indicating a knock, the engine computer's response may have been to change the ignition timing on your engine. Knock sensors generally bolt into or thread into the engine block. This P0325 code may show up intermittently or the Service Engine light may be lit constantly. Other knock sensor related DTC codes include P0330.

You may notice drivability problems including a lack of power and perhaps some hesitation. There may also be other symptoms.
Causes

A code P0325 most likely means one or more of the following has happened:

• The knock sensor is faulty and needs to be replaced
• There is a wiring short/fault in the knock sensor circuit

Possible Solutions

• Check the resistance of the knock sensor (compare it to factory specs)
• Check for broken/frayed wires leading to the sensor
• Replace the knock sensor

P0400 - Exhaust Gas Recirculation Flow Malfunction OBD-II Trouble Code Technical Description

Exhaust Gas Recirculation Flow Malfunction
What does that mean?

The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve is vacuum controlled valve that regulates the amount of exhaust gases that re-enter the cylinders. The powertrain control module (PCM) determines how much based on engine load, temp, and other conditions. If the PCM detects that the amount of exhaust gases entering the cylinder were insufficient or non-existent, this code is set.
FB.init("dd7d9e9681341cde77587bc6a2029f6f"); OBD-Codes.com on Facebook Symptoms

No symptoms will likely be noticed by the driver other than the MIL (malfunction indicator lamp). However, non visible symptoms will be increased combustion temperature and increased Nox emissions.
Causes

A code P0400 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:

• Plugged EGR passage which restricts the flow of exhaust gasses
• Faulty EGR solenoid
• Faulty EGR solenoid wiring/harness
• Vacuum lines damaged/disconnected to the EGR valve solenoid or to the EGR valve
• Faulty EGR valve

Possible Solutions

Since EGR valve designs are different, no one test will suffice:

• Using a scan tool, operate the EGR valve with the engine running. If the engine stumbles, the problem was likely intermittent wiring problem or intermittent blockage problem
• If engine doesn't stumble, operate the EGR valve manually, if possible. If engine doesn't stumble and die, the ports are likely plugged. Removal of valve and cleaning of all ports will be required
• Checking of solenoid can only usually be done with a scan tool, because most solenoids operate with a duty cycle of voltage, rather than constant voltage
• Check all vacuum lines, hoses, etc for any damage
• Visually inspect the solenoid harness and the solenoid for damage
• Replace EGR valve

P1684 Metering Oil Pump Position Sensor Circuit Malfunction, , on a dodge it means just that , you've disconnected the battery its just a status code,, don't worry about this one,, Now the P0401 Exhaust Gas Recirculation Flow Insufficient Detected,

Use a vacuum pump and pull the EGR valve open while monitoring engine RPM's & DPFE voltage. There should be a noticable difference in RPM's with the EGR open

Clean out the EGR valve and/or tubing to remove deposits

Check the voltage at the DPFE, compare to specified values (refer to a repair manual for your specific model)

Replace the DPFE sensor (with a good quality / OEM one)

The Code 71 points to a problem with the EGR Gas Temp Sensor. This sensor measures the temperature of the exhaust gases present at the EGR valve and sends this information to the ECU. The ECU compares this reading to its programmed nominal value to confirm proper EGR system operation. If the temperature is too high, the ECU senses that exhaust gases are not being recirculated and NOx emissions will be abnormal. With this sensor faulty it can very well effect fuel delivery, which can lower MPG's (sample Camry engine).



Carbon build up on the EGR valve? There's always a possibility given the age of the vehiclee, but seeing as you are experience a loss of MPG's and have a straight forward Code71, i'd suspect a faulty sensor. Obviously cleaning the EGR ports is always a big help, but i'd venture to say that faulty sensor is playing a big role as well.

While replacing the sensor, clean the sensor's port and clean the EGR ports and you should see an improvement. The EGR Valves on these vehicles are fairly solid, and I don't think it will require replacement. Just a good cleaning of all the EGR related items/ports.

Hope this helps (remember to rate this answer).

First did you reset the computer after replacing the EGR valve if you don't the computer doe'nt reconize the new sensor so it doe'nt reset the peremiters.Then check all passages and lines in the intake manifold there could be a clogg somewhere.Go to www.rockauto.com and you'll find EGR pressure sensor for under $30.00.

Not sure of your vehicle but it is not likely that it's part of the EGR valve although you need to make sure the gasket for the EGR valve isn't leaking because leaking exhaust will set this code. Does your vehicle have a EGR solenoid/transducer. The reason I ask is because in Chrysler products the EGR valve and transducers are calibrated together and this may be causing the EGR to open to much and exhaust will leak. I serious don't that it has anything to do with the EGR valve you just replaced however. I think you just have another problem. That's my opinion anyway. The possible causes of the code is: • Leakage exhaust gas • Rear HO2S malfunction • IAT sensor malfunction • ECT sensor malfunction • Front HO2S malfunction • Excessive fuel line pressure • Fuel pump unit malfunction • Purge solenoid valve malfunction • Insufficient engine compression • PCM malfunction Find out about the transducer and then go from there like O2 sensors as well as the other possible causes. I wish I could be more help and I hope this helped a little anyhow. Good luck.
