P0404 is-egr flow ckt range/performance, check egr, remove from vehicle and clean out carbon from valve and where it mounts on engine. also check the wireing connector and wire to valve. if this dosnt work, replace valve,

    need to know size of engine. but the principal is the same for removal. most egr valves have 2 bolts holding it down, remove the wireing, then remove the other hoses, unbolt egr then remove from vehicle.

I have the same problem with my 05 Grand Caravan. The VIN # doesn't have XZZ code. I ordered the EGR with exception code. Replaced, after two weeks same P0404 came back. Where is the problem? Thanks.

The part may be faulty, or there is a communications issue. The only way to check is with a good auto electrician and a Pro Grade scanner / computer. First, I would just reset the code.

2005 Chevrolet Uplander. Had code P0401 so Shop replaced EGR valve, but now codes P0404 and P1404.

Check out this case study on a Chevy Impala for that P1404 code on a new EGR. I only watch the beginning, (too long for me to sit and watch) but seems to be a communication issue.

Just replaced EGR valve- had code P0404. It's

First question, did you clean the port or passage out or the cyl head where the valve mounts to, when the valve was taken off of the engine? 2nd question, did you replace the Vacuum transducer ( little black round valve, with a vacuum hose fitting) and the valve assy? After these items have been replaced, it usually needs to have the PCM (powertrain control module) reset with a scanner of some type.

My 2006 dodge caravan is throwing the code po404, what does this mean and how can i fix it?

p0404 is an EGR valve problem.
Most are vacuum operated and is set off when the position doesnt match the expected one set by the PCM... however, depending on your location - the van may be equipped with an electrically actuated one that will need to be re-programmed at the dealership.
