Code result

P04E7

EGR Temperature Sensor D Circuit Low

Moderate severity

What it means

Same as P04D0 on EGR temperature sensor D. EGR mixes inert exhaust into intake to lower combustion peak temperature — too little raises NOx, too much causes misfires and rough running.

Is it safe to drive?

Use caution

The vehicle is usually drivable for short distances, but the problem can worsen or affect emissions. Diagnose and repair as soon as practical.
