Can drive — fix at your convenience.
This code means the engine computer has detected an electrical problem in the EGR control circuit, so it can't properly command the EGR valve open or closed. It's usually caused by a wiring fault, a bad connector, a failed EGR solenoid, or a faulty EGR valve. Repairs commonly involve fixing the wiring or replacing the solenoid or valve, and it's typically not an expensive job.
$150 – $500
Varies by vehicle and root cause.
Yes, in most cases you can drive normally since this is an emissions and electrical issue, not a safety hazard. You might notice a rough idle or mild pinging. Get it repaired soon to avoid emissions problems and carbon buildup.
Most repairs fall between $150 and $500. A wiring or connector repair is on the cheaper side, while replacing the EGR valve or solenoid with labor pushes toward the higher end.
It's low severity. The car usually runs fine, but the EGR system won't work correctly, which affects emissions and can slowly cause carbon buildup. It's worth addressing but not an emergency.
It means the electrical signal between the computer and the EGR valve isn't working as expected. The valve may not open or close on command, usually due to faulty wiring, a bad solenoid, or a failed valve.
