EGR valve 2013 2lt P0409

[SubaruStu]

Hi,

Hopefully someone can help me please!

I got 3 warning lights on the dash-

engine light, electronic park brake and flashing cruse control and the code p0409 on the code reader (exhaust gas recirculation sensor A circuit )

So I have cleaned the egr valve and tried again but lights and code come back.

EGR moves freely now and motor works when I apply power.

Not sure what to look at next  ?

is there a sensor in the egr or ?

Other codes that come up are P0401 (resurculation flow insufficient detected)

& P0403 (Exhaust gas Resurculation control circuit)

Also does anyone know which fuse the egr runs on ? (as I haven't found a detailed enough diagram.)

Thank you in advance

Simon

Sorted it out 😀   

I figured out the spring was broken so that is why it was not working.

I put the new one in and all error lights and codes went away by themselves.

All the best, maybe this will help someone else

Hi 

I have the exact same problems. What spring did you change? Location?

Hi,

There is a spring in the egr valve so you will have to change the whole valve I think.

But also worth opening it and trying to clean it first as it might just be stuck if you are lucky as a can of egr cleaner is much cheaper than a new egr valve.
