    I think I got this code on the 2013 persona the other day sitting in the driveway something about EGR I was using my cheap scanner and it doesn't scan everything It's pretty capable but not 100% Is this the EGR flow problem?

    I'm not sure a Gen 3 Prius can give a P0405 code. Double-check the code?

    It's one I've never ever seen before I was on my Inova handheld as tech was in the office charging or just sitting there we've been having the rattling business going on with the 2013 so every so often I start it and try to warm it up and see if it's getting worse or what have you doesn't seem to be. But all of a sudden I had the orange triangle in this code I had never seen before and it said under it something about the EGR system. So I'll plug up tech and see if it's still stored or whatever

    I am sending out two metal EGR intercoolers and they're related metal piping to the shop to have them tanked and cleaned and at the ready looks like I'm going to change this nonsense out and see what it looks like on the car but I want to have the stuff ready to go so I can just bolt it all back on new and clean see if we can put this to rest or put it out of its misery.
