Condition
Some owners of 1994 W cars equipped with a 3.4L twin DOHC engine (RPO LQ1 VIN X) built prior to the VIN breakpoints above may experience a
malfunction indicator light with a stored diagnostic trouble code (DTC) of P1403 (small EGR orifice). Also included are 1995 model year 3.4L engine
equipped vehicles. This condition could occur at altitudes above 5200 (1585 meters) feet above sea level.
Cause
The diagnostic self test run on the exhaust gas recirculation valve (EGR) was failing the EGR valve even though the valve itself was functioning
properly.
Correction
A new PROM has been released to address DTC P1403 that is set at altitudes greater than 5200 feet (1585 meters) above sea level.
