Where is the DPFE Sensor located on a 2003 Ford Taurus 3.0 L 24V engine? Husband can't locate it! Can't find diagram for 2003 Taurus.

  • Anonymous Feb 25, 2012

    I have a 2003 tauras as well,Ipluged in a metering tool for the brain box.I had two codes come up p0171,p0174,basicly what it tells ya is you have oxygen streaming into exh aust.I went to my local ford dealer to talk with one of thier service techs and although it pionted to a sensor that didn't mean that was the problem,it could have been about a dozen differnt things.I decided to let them have a go at it bcause the have some more specialized meters that could pin point it a little better then me.As it turned out it was my pcv valve an hose was cracked and i was getting a vaccume leak.I could here it leaking but i couldn't pin point it exactly.I sprayed some carb cleaner around that area and it started to idle a little faster so i new iwas at least close.I hope that helped ya and dont forget to have your fuel filter replaced . Mine was very dirty,gas these days sucks.You should go to your auto parts store and pick up some sea breeze gas additive it helps clean your injectors and lubes a few other things as well as helps with any moister that may be in your tank. Good luck!!!

That is the (Differential Pressure Feedback Exhaust) - e.g. EGR Valve. You shouldn't have any trouble finding it. There is usually a metal tube from the exhaust manifold going to it,as well as one or two vacuum hoses.
It has to also, direct exhaust gas into the intake,so there is your key.

Diagram of the location of dpfe p1401 and p1237 fps for 2000 ford taurus v6 3.0

go to rock auto .com and look up your car then go to exhaust and emissions and you will see a picture/s of your D.P.F.E its' located on the back of the motor by the fire wall the other problem maybe your fuel pump driver module that picture is in fuel/air and located either on the inside trunk brace at the quarter panel or on the deck lid or the back brace for the rear seat but usually on 1 side is the inertia switch and the other is the driver module in the quarter panel braces

Code P1405

I have copied the entire description for the code.
Let me know if you need more info. You may need a shop to take a look at the system.

P1405 Ford Description
The purpose of the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system on your engine is to limit oxides of nitrogen (NOx) emissions. This is done by redirecting small amounts of exhaust gas back through the upper intake to get mixed in with the air/fuel charge. The resultant diluted air/fuel mixture (i.e., less oxygen per cubic foot) burns cooler and combustion chamber temperatures are reduced accordingly, thereby lowering NOx emissions.
The Ford DPFE/EGR system is controlled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The system employs an EGR Valve, an Electronic Vacuum Regulator (EVR), and a Delta Pressure Feedback EGR sensor (DPFE).
The DPFE Sensor measures EGR flow across an orifice located inside the special EGR Tube. The orifice is positioned between two hose ports coming off the tube which are connected to the DPFE sensor with special heat-resistant hoses. When the EGR Valve is open, a pressure differential is created across the orifice (intake manifold pressure vs. exhaust pressure). By design, this difference in pressure is measured by the DPFE sensor in terms of voltage. The DPFE voltage signal output to the PCM is directly proportional to the flow of exhaust gas entering the intake manifold.

I have a tropubleshooting code of P1405. On a ford Expedition 5.4l. Where do i fine the DPFE sensor (DPFE sensor upstream hose off or plugged.. aaECM detected EGR flow in a negative direction with aan

DPFE sensor failures are VERY COMMON on Ford vehicles. However, clogged EGR ports are also very common on 5.4L Ford engines. The DPFE sensor is located on the left side of the engine. It connects to two silicone rubber hoses that connect to the steel EGR tube coming from the back of the engine to the EGR valve. (See picture of the sensor below)

Another common failure is a DPFE sensor that has melted due to excessive exhaust back-pressure. If you find the DPFE sensor melted, suspect a restricted exhaust. (smashed tailpipe, clogged catalytic converter, etc..)

Where is the dpfe sensor located on the 2000 ford taurus?

I had to replace the dpfe sensor on my 2000 Ford Explorer and they should be the same.
Mine was located on the left side of the engine (facing the engine with the hood up) above the valve cover. It will have two 3/8" vacuum lines going into it and a plug ended cable. Very simple to replace.
