Frequently asked questions about P1406
What does P1406 mean?
Diagnostic Trouble Code (8 interpretations). The control module detected improper operation of the EGR Valve Pintle Position circuit. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Chrysler.
Is P1406 generic or manufacturer-specific?
P1406 is a manufacturer-specific code. In this database it is documented for: Chrysler, Dodge, Honda, Hyundai, Mazda, Toyota, VAG. The same number can mean something different on other brands.
Can TuningBot remove P1406 at file level?
If the fault logic lives in the ECU calibration, yes: our DTC Removal file service disables the specific fault entry and, where the ECU needs it, corrects the checksum too. Not sure whether your case qualifies? Request a free assessment and our engineers will check your ECU file.
