First, without meaning to be a ****, I would like to say a few things to help keep you from spending your hard-earned cash that you probably cannot afford to throw away.

1. Your vehicle is equipped with an electronically controlled EGR Solenoid Valve. Failure of these valves are EXTREMELY RARE (Although many parts outlets sell thousands of them based on their "FREE" diagnostics).
2. If you do not know where the EGR valve is, then you could not possibly have tested it properly. If you have not tested it, then you cannot possibly know for certain that your vehicle needs an EGR Valve to fix whatever problem you are attempting to repair.
3. MOST EGR system failure codes are NOT caused by the EGR Valve itself. The most likely cause of an EGR code is clogged EGR ports (Which can be fixed with a gasket, a little elbow grease, and a can of carb cleaner). EGR control circuits i.e. wires, connectors, etc. run a close second in the code-causing category.

Please also read this article: What Else Could Be Wrong?

Now that I have done my preaching (and hopefully, helped to keep you from wasting your money), the answer to your question is that the EGR Solenoid Valve is located on the right front of your engine. (See picture)

First, with out meaning to be anything but crystal clear. What kind of dink, parades on a guy for not knowing that his..EGR...of all things is electronically controlled....Oh yeah an Acrapamazing how the mention of not meaning to be doesn\'t change what you are. Get a grip. Greg man, for future reference, there are several easy things to check that would present, similar to an egr issue. Could even trip the same codes, being that DTCs more pointedly indicate system by system malfunctions and will rarely ever point you straight at the specific part that went sour. How else can they make sure you still end up back at the dealer? when whatever some high school kid, is wasting our time at the parts counter, cant even pronounce 1/2 the **** he sees on that scanner? Let alone be able to communicate that to you. Like dude said, wires are good place to start. Right along with all grounds and vacuum hoses. Once you rule those out with those kind of issues, Id go to the PCV valve, breather filter set-up, and finish the round of evaluation with checking sensors and such. Although with the sensor would trigger a DTC since monitoring systems check these automatically. If that stuff has all checked out, in all honesty, this is where Id tell the DIY guy to bow out gracefully, any issues past those will most certainly require the over all experience and know how of a seasoned technician. This is because from here u rapidly descend into problems that you cant come back from with out being fixed professionally anyway at a much much more costlier pay scale. good luck in any coming ventures man, hope next time you can get a reasonable response to assist you, not an insult, thinly veiled in an albeit mediocre attempt at being a decent person.





May the wind always be at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, and rains fall soft upon your fields.

The EGR on my 05 Hemi Durango is located on the passenger side front of the engine near the head.

Hey greenlee99, your best bet would be to grab one these manuals so that you have pictures and diagrams along with step by step instructions. It will tell you what tools and parts you need. Can't go wrong with having it.

05 ram with hemi code p0406

Most of the times it is the EGR sensor that has gone bad. It is located in the back right side by the throttle body. You will see a hose that runs from the top of your EGR to the sensor. On your Dodge it is VERY eay to replace.
