Guide To P046F OBD Error Code Solutions

<<See All OBD Codes

Are you experiencing fall in engine performance? Did you recently face rough engine idling and stalling? If your answer is YES, then chances are pretty high that your vehicle is set to OBD error code P046F. This error code is set up due to number of causes that we have listed out in the subsequent sections for you.

We understand how you feel when your vehicle is diagnosed with some alien code like P046F. You must be curious to know what this code it and what causes it. We have answers to all of these.

If the powertrain control module of your vehicle detects that there is an abnormally voltage conditions on the egr sensor b circuit, it will set OBD error code P046F. Now, let's have a look at few of the common causes behind this code.

What causes this problem with the Exhaust Gas Recirculation Sensor "B" Circuit Intermittent/Erratic?

• Malfunctioning EGR volume control solenoid valve
• Build-up of carbon on EGR valve
• EGR Volume control solenoid harness issues such as open or shorted EGR volume control solenoid valve harness
• Poor electrical connections with the egr volume control solenoid
• Issues with egr temperature sensor and circuit

Common Symptoms

• Steep fall in engine performance
• Rise in fuel consumptions
• Illumination of check engine light (CEL)
• Appearance of EGR related codes
• High sensor voltage
• Open or stuck egr pintle
• Stalling engine
• Rough engine idling

If you wish to correct this fault code, then you have to follow certain steps. Correcting a problem needs your careful attention. Here are some ways with the help of which you will be able to correct the OBD Code P046F:

EGR Valve Replacement and other related parts replacements, if found damaged.

However, if you face any issue then we have stocked a wide range of best priced EGR parts, EGR valve, Engine Control Module, EGR Sensor Connector, Powertrain Control Module and more to help you out in fixing your car.

If you want to easily diagnose this fault code, then all you have to do is to follow the steps which are mentioned below:

• Since we are aware of the fact that obd error code P046F indicates low voltage error with the EGR sensor connector, circuit B. Keeping this in mind, you will need to first of all check for any corrosions, broken terminals or loose connections. If you come across any corrosion, try cleaning it and resetting the connector after that. Now, discharge the electrical connector and also the EGR. Check the EGR intake and exhaust for any blockage or clogging. Clean the junk as required for the smooth pintle functioning. Also check the egr vacuum lines to the solenoid and replace/repair it if found damaged.
• If you own a Ford, you will need to check the two vacuum hoses from the EGR to the differential pressure feedback EGR sensor, also known as the DPFE in the exhaust manifold rear. Check the hoses for any corrosion. Make use of a screwdriver to remove the corrosion from the hoses and the sensors. This will make it function again.

Common Mistakes When Diagnosing the P046F Code

Few of the common mistakes that you can commit while diagnosing this P046F generic obd codes are listed as follows:

• Failing EGR valve
• Failing Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
• Wiring failures
