P0402 - EGR A Flow Excessive Detected

DTC DESCRIPTION P0402 - EGR A FLOW EXCESSIVE DETECTED

Description:  The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system is monitored for undesired EGR flow during idle. The EGR monitor looks at the differential pressure feedback EGR (DPFE) signal at idle and compares it to the stored signal measured during ignition ON, engine OFF. This DTC sets when the signal at idle is greater than at ignition ON, engine OFF by a calibrated amount.
Possible Causes: 
  • Restricted EGR tube
  • Slow responding differential pressure feedback EGR sensor
  • Damaged differential pressure feedback EGR sensor
Diagnostic Aids:  A DPFEGR PID reading that is greater at idle than during KOEO by 0.5 volt or a rough engine idle may indicate a concern.
Application  Key On Engine Off  Key On Engine Running  Continuous Memory
