Drive with caution — fix soon.
This code means the engine computer is reading too low a voltage from the 'B' EGR position sensor, which monitors how the exhaust gas recirculation valve moves. It usually points to a wiring fault, a bad sensor, or a sticking EGR valve. It's a fairly common code and is often fixable without major engine work.
$150 – $450
Varies by vehicle and root cause.
For short trips, usually yes, since it's mostly an emissions and sensor issue and won't normally leave you stranded. But you shouldn't rely on it long-term, because a faulty EGR system hurts fuel economy and can cause an emissions test failure. Have it diagnosed soon.
Most repairs fall between about $150 and $450. Wiring or connector fixes are cheaper, while replacing the EGR position sensor or the EGR valve raises the cost.
It's not an emergency and rarely strands you, but it shouldn't be ignored. Over time it can worsen fuel economy, cause rough running, and lead to a failed emissions test.
It means the EGR position sensor 'B' is sending a voltage lower than expected, typically caused by a short to ground, a failing sensor, or a damaged connector rather than serious engine damage.
