What Does the P0404 Saturn Code Mean?
The Engine Control Module (ECM) uses the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) position sensor to determine the position of the EGR valve. The ECM sends a reference voltage through the 5 V reference circuit to the EGR position sensor. The ECM provides a voltage return path for the sensor through the low reference circuit. A signal based on the EGR valve position is sent from the EGR sensor to the ECM. The Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be set when the ECM detects that the desired position and the actual position of the EGR valve is greater than a calibrated threshold.
