Exhaust Pressure Control Valve B Position Sensor Circuit High
Same as P04A6 with the signal voltage above the plausible range. Wiring faults of this kind typically come from chafing, water ingress at connector seals, or pin push-back — a wiggle test on the harness while the code is active often confirms the location.
Affected components
- Exhaust pressure position sensor b
Common causes
- High likelihood: Signal shorted to supply
- Low likelihood: Connector pins corroded - high contact resistance
- Low likelihood: Supply wire pinched against B+ source
Diagnostic notes
- The malfunction indicator lamp may illuminate
- This code can affect emissions
