Order of inspection

  1. P0476 Exhaust Pressure Control Valve Range/Performance Medium

    The P0476 code indicates that the exhaust pressure control valve responds electrically, but the result is not what the computer expects. Expect a loss of power, slow warm-up when cold and high exhaust temperature. A valve seized with soot is the most frequent cause.
