Are there any symptoms of a p0404 DTC?
There may be no symptoms of a P0404 DTC other than the MIL (malfunction indicator lamp) or check engine light. However, Exhaust Gas Recirculation systems are inherently problematic due to carbon buildup in the intake manifold, etc.
Is the p0404 valve on my Malibu gone?
I have a 2002 Chevy Malibu LS with the 3.1L V6 engine. I had a p0404 code and when I did my tune-up recently, I went ahead and replaced the EGR valve. However, after two days of normal driving (approx. 70mi each day), the code has not gone away.
Why is my p0404 exhaust gas recirculation not working?
The actual EGR position should be very close to the “desired” EGR position. If it is, then the problem is likely intermittent. It may have been a lodged piece of carbon that has since dislodged, or it could be a bad EGR valve winding that intermittently opens or shorts as the valve temperature changes.
What kind of EGR valve does a p0404 have?
If you have a P0404, then the EGR valve is likely an electrically controlled EGR valve instead of a vacuum controlled EGR valve. Also, the valve will usually have a feedback system built into it that informs the PCM (Powertrain Control Module) what position the valve is in; open, closed, or somewhere in between.
