The P1409 error code for the 2002 Ford Escape indicates a malfunction with the Exhaust Gas Recirculation Vacuum Regulator solenoid circuit. The circuit voltage is either too low or high when the test compares it to the expected range. This code is car-specific, meaning that it applies only to specific makes. The specs will vary from one make and model to another. Some of the most common symptoms to look out for are a check engine light, rough idling and decreased power. Reasons the code may have been thrown include a defective EGRVR solenoid, a bad electrical connection in the EGR vacuum regulator solenoid circuit, a shorted or open EGR harness, or rarely, a defective PCM.
