Chrysler

1 interpretation
P1406
EGR Valve Pintle Position Circuit Chrysler · emissions Data confidence 62%

The control module detected improper operation of the EGR Valve Pintle Position circuit. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Chrysler.

Recommended checks

  • Perform a full module scan
  • Review freeze-frame and occurrence data
  • Confirm the exact vehicle, ECU and software context
  • Inspect relevant wiring and connectors
  • Check applicable OEM service information

Dodge

1 interpretation
P1406
Intermittent Loss Of Camshaft Position Or Crankshaft Position Sensor Dodge · engine Data confidence 62%

The control module detected a fault associated with the Intermittent Loss Of Camshaft Position Or Crankshaft Position Sensor circuit or function; the stored code identifies the affected component rather than a single failure mode. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Dodge.

Honda

1 interpretation
P1406
Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve position sensor - circuit problem Honda · emissions Data confidence 62%

The control module detected a fault associated with the Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve position sensor - circuit problem circuit or function; the stored code identifies the affected component rather than a single failure mode. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Honda.
