I just picked up a brand new IX MR yesterday. On the way home, the damn Service engine Soon light came on. Pulled the code and which said it was insufficient flow to the EGR. Code was P0401 I believe. I've searched and I found the threads about this issue.

My problem is I am not positive whether there are any unplugged lines from the EGR solenoid. I felt around and found what I think is the EGR. It feels like there are 2 vacuum lines coming off of it, but both are connected.

Anyone in the San Diego area willing to come take a look at it today?

 

have your dealer fix it bro,Its brand new

 

I plan on taking it to the dealership monday morning, but if it's an easy fix that can be done today, I'd rather just have it done.

 

Dang...this has been coming up more and more lately...dealership should take care of it no problem...

 

Well I took it in today, turns out the nipple on the EGR solenoid broke off. Part is on order and should be here in a couple of days. Not exactly how I wanted to start off my new car ownership, but hopefully it doesn't happen again =(

 

I have a friend who has the same SES code/light. BRAND NEW IX. must be common for them. He is getting it fixed.

 

Hmmm, I wonder if that's the reason why the 9's are selling for so low?? Makes you wonder???!!

 

wadaup SMOKEY!!


nahhhww its not common. come on, its the disgruntled Mitsu workers generating work...hmm new car with broke part?? you have to buy a new one from THEM!!! great marketing...hahahaha!!!!

 

WHAAAAAT UP BADHABIT!! good to see us "jacking" the threads to say "hello" Good to hear from you!! I just got the ointment for my "marble bag", and your right, the rash is going away like you said it would!!!!

 

the sameting happened to me on my 03 VIII but the hose popped off the nipple didnt brake. It happened 2 days after i bought the car which of course happened to fall on a saturday late afternoon. until monday when ibrought it in i thought my blood pressure was gonna blow my head off (LOL).when the mechanic came out after 10 minutes and said you done and ready to go it was nothing just a hose coming off your valve i fealt like i hit the lotto. after that never a problem unless i caused it.

 

*cough cough* ummmm OKAY... TMI, TMI...hahahhahahaha!!!

i told you not to mess with the trailer park down the road. the managers daughter down there isnt the "sweetest thing"...even after she takes a shower, she STILL smells like a bag of cheetoes... dont ask how i know...

 

Man total thread jack..thanks!!

Anyways, car was serviced under warranty the other day. Running good so far, no more service soon light. I hope it stays this way.

 

Just got my new IX yesterday two seconds after starting it i got a check engine light. Went to autozone to get the code checked and it was the same one, EGR flow problem etc etc. I have to call the dealer today also. Soryy to bring back and old thread.

 

I'm still getting this P0401 and it happens every 100 miles. I have checked everything that could be lose. Nothing is lose. All cables are intact on all sensors. What could be the problem?
