It could be as simple as your gas cap not tightened properly. If that doesn't work, try replacing the purge valve. Good luck.

    You have no idea what you're talking about. Anyway, why are you posting for something from 2016 ?

    Dodge Ram P0406: EGR Sensor “A” ? Circuit High
    P0406 is a generic OBDII Diagnostic code. It deals with the signal coming from the EGR system. In this case, it means that the signal coming from the EGR system is higher than the specified range Since it is a generic code, it has the same meaning for the Dodge Ram as it would any other vehicle.

SOURCE: what does the check engine

P0406 - Exhaust Gas Recirculation Sensor A Circuit High
An improper voltage signal is sent to ECM through the valve

Early Models : The EGR valve control the amount of exhaust gas routed to the intake manifold. Vacuum is applied to the EGR valve in response to the throttle opening. The vacuum control the movement of the taper valve connected to the vacuum diaphragm in the EGR valve.

Late Models : The EGR volume control valve uses a step motor to control the flow rate of EGR from exhaust manifold. This motor has four winding phases. It operates according to the output pulse signal of the ECM. Two windings are turned ON and OFF in sequence. Each time an ON pulse is issued, the valve opens or closes, changing the flow rate. When no change in the flow rate is needed, the ECM does not issue the pulse signal. A certain voltage signal is issued so that the valve remains at that particular opening.

Symptoms
- Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)
- Engine hesitation

Possible causes
- Harness or connectors (EGR volume control valve circuit is open or shorted.)
- EGR volume control solenoid valve
- EGR temperature sensor and circuit

Possible solution
- Repair EGR harness or connector
- Replaced EGR volume control solenoid valve
- Replaced EGR volume control valve


Hope helps (remember to rate and comment this answer).

2005 magnum p0406 egr valve sensor code error

P0406 indicates high voltage on the EGR sensor circuit. this is recommended for every 30,000 miles be inspected. although EGR system do not requires periodic inspection. instead, check only if engine trouble's develop. most EGR's requires replacing EGR valve, cleaning passages and installing new vacuum hose. misrouted vacuum hose causes engine poor operation. so. not just to unplug it.

What is the fix for (egr flow sensor a) on 2007 dodge hemi? This code came up when light came on.

It is probably the EGR valve itself. I would remove the valve and check the lines coming off of it to make sure it is not clogged. If that checks out ok then I would replace the EGR Valve and then clear the code with a scan tool.

CODE P0406 APEARS '04 DODGE HEMI

P0406 is the EGR valve. It sits on the right front of the engine. Just remove the two bolts on the tube and the two bolts on the valve itself and there you go. Reset the lamp with a scan tool or by disconnecting the battery for a couple minutes and retest.

Stalling issue

check for vacuum hose leak, listen for hissing sound a can a carb spray may assist you in finding this by spraying the hoses and watch for change in idle, this may not show a code if it not a constant problem. under load its ok when it tries to idle the vacuum leak will stall the motor..
