This code means the engine computer is detecting too high a voltage signal from the 'B' EGR position sensor, which tracks the movement of the exhaust gas recirculation valve. It usually points to a wiring short to voltage, a bad sensor, or a sticking EGR valve. It's a fairly common code and is often fixable without major engine work.
$150 – $450
Varies by vehicle and root cause.
For short trips, usually yes, since it's mostly an emissions and sensor issue and won't typically leave you stuck. Still, don't rely on it long-term, as a failing EGR system can hurt fuel economy and cause an emissions failure. Get it diagnosed soon.
Most repairs run between about $150 and $450. Wiring or connector repairs are at the low end, while replacing the EGR position sensor or the EGR valve costs more.
It's not an emergency and rarely strands you, but it shouldn't be ignored. Over time it can worsen fuel economy, cause rough running, and lead to a failed emissions test.
It means the EGR position sensor 'B' is sending a higher-than-expected voltage, usually from a wiring short to voltage, a bad sensor, or a faulty connector rather than engine damage itself.
