P1402 EGR Metering Orifice Restricted
What does P1402 mean on a Ford?
P1402 — EGR Metering Orifice Restricted. This Ford-enhanced code applies to F-150, Ranger, Explorer, Taurus with DPFE-based EGR.
Common causes of P1402
- Carbon-clogged EGR metering orifice
- Collapsed EGR pressure hose mimicking restriction
- Carbon-packed EGR passages in the intake
- Failed EGR valve not opening to create the expected delta
- DPFE sensor misreading the restriction
How to fix P1402
- Remove the EGR valve and inspect the metering orifice for carbon
- Decarbonize the EGR passages in the throttle body and intake
- Check DPFE hoses for collapse or blockage
- Command the EGR open and watch DPFE response
- Clean or replace components until the flow delta returns
