Order of inspection

  1. P0402 Exhaust Gas Recirculation Flow Excessive Detected Medium

    The P0402 code means more gas is passing through the EGR system than the computer asked for. It is usually a valve that will not close because of carbon on its seat. The result is a rough idle or an engine that stalls.
