problem #2

May 012009

Taurus 3.0L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 85,000 miles

After my engine light came on, I had a P401 code. Without having good diagnostics to determine the cause. I tried the shotgun approach.

Replaced in this order EGR valve, DPFE sensor, EGR control, EGR tube, DPFE sensor. I replaced the DPFE sensor a second time due to I finally found a way to test it easily (safety pins, volt meter and pump with vacuum option for airbeds). The first DPFE sensor I put in must have been bad.
