    Po406 code I've replaced everything and I still have a high signal. I have no clue what to do now.

  3. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Phil G says:

    Just want to be sure you’re saying unplugged pin 1 (sensor line) is pulled low by the test light?

  4. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Biahero TV says:

    P0406 is it serious problem? My dodge charger has check engine light. And after scanning has been done i get p0406 code..

  5. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Donnie Robertson says:

    Great job

    Awesome job 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

  7. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Tony Edwin says:

    Great video ! I am surprised Ivan has not had a video on repairing these… no parts required…

  8. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Monster squash Racing says:

    I love this channel. You have helped me so much im very thankful. I will be getting some merch.

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars paul labrecque says:

    My egr valve would come on and off while driven ,turn out to be block exhaust

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars bob harbaugh says:

    my f 150 just pooed its egr valve and i gave it the classic screwdriver beating

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars kelly marwood says:

    awesome job MR .O but you tapping the new one so much might break it or shorten it's life lmao great job like always coming from Canada Hooooooah that's army language the Hoooooah part

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars A Physics Professor says:

    Thank you eco-nuts.

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mike Chiodetti says:

    That works great for testing! Years ago, GM had the tap test on the Mass Airflow Sensor. IT WORKED! GREAT VIDEO, quick test! Love It!

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Buddy Greeno says:

    Ok my 04 is Pacifica is cutting back on take off if you hold it steady at 2000 rpm in park it also cuts back randomly dies at traffic lights . Is this a sign of a bad egr valve? Thanks

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bob R. says:

    Eric, I enjoy your channel..a lot, excellent work…!

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars smallengines_tools says:

    I have a 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan 3.8 and has the same code.

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars "MORNING GARDENER'S SHOW" says:

    I am more confused now my EGR code is high voltage and also low voltage I think I need a new EGR valve.

  18. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Shaun Mace says:

    Have an 07 Jeep Wrangler and I just replace the EGR valve and it still is pulling that same code po406 exhaust gas recirculation sensor A circuit high any recommendations?

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Marty Stevens says:

    A signal substitution tester could inject normal voltages and resistance into the computer. If the readings normalize, that means the sensor is bad.

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Marty Stevens says:

    Chrysler owners should put cleaner in the tank to keep the EGR clean. Try tapping on the EGR valve to try to loosen it before removing the valve.

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Zub Zero says:

    Yes i don't have nice hands sometimes or most of the time lol all i do is move somethings and they are gone lol awesome you did show the inside

  22. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Teodoro Goaran says:

    I hate that kind of people who try to fix any kind of things hitting then up ,like if they really would be fix that way.

  23. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Julian Diaz says:

    Why my Pacifica sounds like a disel truck

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Billy O'Neill says:

    Do you have a good video on changing egr on a 2004 Chrysler Pacifica?

  25. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars george trower says:

    I like your video….you should call a hammer a tapping tool….just like your scope on a rope  saying..

  26. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Vince Bauer says:

    Ok I got ya great videos keep up the great work it's helped alot

  27. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Vince Bauer says:

    I have a question why did u mount your vise on your tool box u have a bench right there your grinders on it mount the vise on the other side
    that cracks me up lmao u good people lol

  28. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Justin says:

    2008 T&C 3.8L van, got code, replaced with a doorman egr valve. Had the battery disconnected so code went away. Couple weeks later code came back???? Did I need to reset the code electronically? Help. Perhaps doorman egr valve crap?

  29. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bob Moy says:

    A shot of brake clean and she'll be good as new!

  30. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jason The Municipal Mechanic says:

    Out of curiosity, do any of the scanners you use require a yearly subscription?

  31. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Voland says:

    Hi SMA,I'm a new subscriber to your channel and love diagnostics,it's more a hobby because I'm not a mechanic but well able to keep my 1994 1.9D Golf top notch in my own.A friend ask me to look at his Toyota 1.8 VVT-i,with 300.000 miles with severe misfire on cylinder 2,I did cylinder injector and coil drop test and find out that by disconnecting the injector 2 got no reaction,so start to check the injector,the tools I own are only a multimeter with duty cycle capabilities and a test light,so power,ground and control are present,resistance and duty cycle the same as other injectors,so I blame the cylinder 2 internal problem with out swapping the injectors to be 100% confident.I'm still thinking about injector 2 spray pattern.
    What are your thoughts about this car???The car didn't pass emissions on idle and high revs.

  32. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Al Dunn says:

    is the Autel wireless to diagnostic plug in?

  33. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Claude B says:

    fantastic video Eric  I'm just the same need to take her apart to see how it work and enjoyed all your video and tricks keep up the great work

  34. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars SKMC69 says:

    ALL PACIFICAS MUST DIIIIEEEEEE  !!

  35. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars 66 Crush says:

    Looks like some sort of device (i.e. Rheostat) could vary your voltage to the EGR valve and therefore vary the position of the valve while reading the potentiometer signal going out to the ECM: Just a thought for DIYer's that don't have this
    bi-directional scan too…

  36. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Luc Lavoie says:

    Hi Eric  How do you get the maintenance specs? for any car!

  37. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars UBBERTANKER says:

    had a caravan once with a broken pin in the conector but you see that when you go to change the valve obviously but most of them end up in oem egr valve being installed

  38. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Smitty Smithsonite says:

    Gonna get me one them thar Autel thingy's soon. Seems like the best bang for the buck.

  39. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars David Helmbrecht says:

    So awesome you went to the other Erics meetup!!!

  40. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Terrance Grant says:

    Almost at 40K!!!!!

  41. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars cruisin thru says:

    Always check "Who's your Sam and Who's your Henry" lol

  42. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bunky’s Workshop says:

    Love your videos. How do you like your new Toyota truck?

  43. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John Stiltner says:

    maybe someday you can do a video on replacing a pressure regulator on a Vortec motor would love that keep up the great work and videos

    "Here, let me check the laser output with my one good eye…"

  45. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Tosh twentythree says:

    You could have easily fixed it with a spray of the good stuff…..yeah..BRAKE CLEAN

  46. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars SirDeanosity says:

    If I am correct, the sensor is 2 wire (rheostat) which then pulls down a resistor that is connected to +5V. Perhaps a simple fix would be to exercise the rheostat wiper by cycling the actuator full open to full closed about 100 times. As for a practical way to do that not sure at the moment, but I am of the electronic ability to do so. Or drill a hole in the thing and shoot some contact cleaner in then plug the hole with a screw.

  47. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Lucy P. says:

    Good stuff.

  48. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars MidwestMotoRider says:

    Great video very informative thanks!
