pulled the code p0403 which is "Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Control Circuit" from what i have found on the internet. where should i go from here? is it something that needs to be replaced or cleaned?

truck is 07 with 4.6l motor if that matters

 

im pretty sure you can clean them... but you might check the connection first

 

Well I cleaned the connector and the cel comes on within minutes of clearing the code. Does anyonknow if he electronics can be swapped without changing out the whole valve? Or is thereany type of warrenty on the emissions system that's different from the normal warrenty?

 

I posted this link for you, the person didn't give an exact code, but it was EGR related. Read posting number 8, it refers to some sort of sensor being replaced instead of the EGR valve. Might help you?

i appreciate the try but the problem they are talking about is lack of flow through the egr which is p0401 i think. my problem is with the electronics themselves.

if i cant find a cheap fix im going to have to go to the dealer. i have an extended warranty with $100 deductible so might as well get my squeaky door fixed too

 

while doing a google search i read that the basic warranty is 3 years/36k miles but the drive train warranty is 5 years/50k miles. is this true and if so, would the egr be part of the drive train since its part of the motor?

 

emissiions stuff is covored under 80 or 100k i cant remmeber i dont know if the egr is covored that long.... but being an emissions part you might give it a try

 

good to know. im going to the dealer tomorrow. hope they fix it under warranty. theyve screwed me out of warranty work before so im not holding my breath

 

^ same here brother... i cant stand them

 

well got lucky....so far. dropped the truck off this morning at the dealer, they just called me to tell me the egr is covered under the powertrain warranty. after they fix it they have to test it and see if anything else comes up.
