P0477 OBD-II: Exhaust Pressure Control Valve "A" Low
P0477 Severity
Moderate
Will P0477 go away on its own?
Once the vehicle's onboard system no longer detects the issue, most codes will disappear on their own. If your vehicle still has this code, however, it should be properly diagnosed to avoid a more serious problem.
For a proper diagnosis, RepairPal Certified shops have the equipment, tools, and expertise.
Moderate severity codes might not threaten the vehicle's safety or functionality immediately, but you should still get it diagnosed within a reasonable time frame to keep your car running well.
What causes OBD-II fault code P0477?
The Exhaust Pressure Control Valve controls exhaust back pressure during engine warmup. If the engine control module (PCM) determines there is an incorrect signal from the Exhaust Pressure Control Valve, the PCM will set code P0477.
