Hi,

The code is related to the positioning of the pintle valve in the EGR. Have you checked to make sure the pintle is closing fully?

I attached the diagnostics below. Take a look through them and let me know if you are comfortable performing them.

Let me know if this helps or if you have questions.

Take care,

Joe
