1.6 16v egr replaced eml still on?

dandelph · 10-03-2010, 10:13 AM

Hi girl friends egr failed on sunday, which it kept dying wouldnt idle.

Put the scanner on it and the was the egr valve so have replaced the egr (which was jammed open).

The car is now running sweet but the eml is on constantly even when all the codes are cleared still bringing up fault with egr valve, p1404 code.

After any thoughts or ideas may be a faulty coolant sensor?

cheers Dan

Ps egr was annoying to get at lol under the inlet manifold

Did you plug it back in? and yeah they are a right git to get to, I take it was on x14xe or x16xe engine?

dandelph · 10-03-2010, 10:31 AM

Yup plugged back in, it ran fine after fitting at idle for 20min no eml but then drove up road eml came on an stays on with egr fault code p1405

Its a x16xe wouldnt like to do a headgasket on it lol

**Vegas** · 10-03-2010, 10:32 AM

Yeah I did one on 14xe but same engine, we blanked it off, but didn't have any codes after that come up. Sorry bud no ideas

dandelph · 10-03-2010, 10:36 AM

If was to blank it off do you have to use tech2 to disable egr in the ecu? cheers for help

**Vegas** · 10-03-2010, 10:38 AM

I didnt, we just plugged it in same as normal, the blanking gasket goes UNDER the actual egr, so can stil plug egr in, have no ecu codes and car recalibrated itself on start up, this was about 5 months ago and no problems

dandelph · 10-03-2010, 10:40 AM

Cool cheers for that might be something to look at doing at the weekend if cant find the fault lol

you disconnect battery to reset the ECU. best doing it overnight since the ecu on these machines seem to have a long backup life.

**Vegas** · 10-03-2010, 12:32 PM

Yeah, but he said codes have been cleared already

mattyr · 10-03-2010, 12:34 PM

the ecu might still need to be reset to reset all the parametres and things.

**Vegas** · 10-03-2010, 12:46 PM

True. How long was battery disconected mate

dandelph · 10-03-2010, 01:00 PM

was disconnected for bout 4 hours, so should try longer ?

**Vegas** · 10-03-2010, 01:07 PM

That should of been more than enough mate, but if you not using car leave it disconnecte dover night

dandelph · 10-03-2010, 01:11 PM

cheers for the advice

dandelph · 13-03-2010, 02:44 PM
