16786/P0402 - Exhaust Gas Recirculation Flow Excessive Detected

Possible Symptoms

  • Drivebility problems (check dtc's with Knock Sensor)
  • Irregular behaviour

Possible Causes

  • EGR valve stuck open
  • EGR damaged
  • Circuit DPF EGR sensor (differential pressure) disconnected, short to B+ or Ground
  • Slow responding DPF EGR sensor
  • DPF EGR sensor downstream hose off or plugded
  • DPF EGR sensor damaged, wrong attached
  • Control Module damaged

Possible Solutions

  • Check all wiring and connections to and from EGR and DPF-EGR
  • Check the EGR: use a vacuumpump and pull open the EGR: rpm should change
  • Clean the EGR
  • Check / Replace EGR
  • Check / Replace DPF-EGR
  • Check voltage DPF EGR sensor (when idle and when EGR is open)

Special Notes

  • The EGR system is monitored when driving at steady state and the EGR is commanded on. When the DPF-EGR sensor indicates that EGR flow is less then a desired minimum a dtc is set.
  • N.B. mechanics with less knowledge do exchange the EGR often, but 75% sure the problem will be back (probably the DPF-EGR sensor causes the problem).
