Check the 'Possible Causes' listed above. Visually inspect the related wiring harness and connectors. Check for damaged components and look for broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded connector pins.
The cost to diagnose the P1404 Chrysler code is 1.0 hour of labor. The diagnosis time and labor rates at auto repair shops vary depending on the location, make and model of the vehicle, and even the engine type. Most auto repair shops charge between $75 and $150 per hour.
The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve recirculates exhaust gas to the engine intake for increased efficiency, lower fuel consumption, and reduced NOx emissions. The valve changes the air's chemical makeup by adding exhaust gas, which dilutes the mixture and lowers combustion temperatures, resulting in less NOx production. The valve has two primary settings: open and closed, depending on the engine's power requirements. EGR valves can also improve combustion efficiency, reduce pumping losses, and decrease diesel knock at idle.
The Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be set when the Engine Control Module (ECM) detects EGR flow or movement when it is not expected.
