Hey so about two week ago I got a check engine light come on and are like okay so I check all the fluids and such all good so I crank it back up and the battery is good the oil pressure is good so it nothing major then so I drive it to collage and back close to 50 miles everything stays normal the whole time temp is right where its normal is which now that it getting warmer is about the n maybe touching the o. so I get home and the next day since I don't have to go anywhere I attempt to pull the codes using the paper clip method and iIthink I got a code 33 but I'm not 100 percent sure on that one so i cleaned the EGR valve and had the batter cables off to reset the computer and it did not help at all with it still comes on and its not affecting anything that I can tell but since i have drove it probably around 150 miles or so with it on its just really annoying to have that light staring you in the face while your driving and i want it gone so i am posting videos to go with this so you can help me 1 figure out what codes are being thrown and 2 how to fix them.

KOEO:

11 sec: fast codes output
14 sec: KOEO codes output (repeat about 30 sec)
337
49 sec: separator pulse between KOEO and CM codes
54 sec: CM codes output (repeat about 1:09)
337

KOER:
7 sec: Engine ID output (3 flashes for 6 cylinder engine) press brake after engine ID is output
1:10: goose pulse for dynamic response test (this is when you goose the throttle)
1:27: KOER code output begins (repeat at 2:12)
116
337
536

KOER 116 is because the engine isn't warmed up
KOER 536 is because you neglected to press the brake after engine ID was output.

KOEO/KOER/CM 337 indicates an error in the DPFE sensor circuit. As common as it is for the DPFE itself to fail, I would probably inspect the wiring to the DPFE sensor and, if everything looks good, replace the DPFE.
 












Okay ill have to check that out thanks and yea I did misspell that whoops lol :confused: that is what it will do to you sometimes. oh well i know you read what I wrote thanks. :thumbsup:
 






Okay so I go and finally fix that easy fix less then 5 minutes but now while driving i get code 335 which would be 335 O EGR Sensor voltage out-of-range is that the same sensor I replaced? I did use a junk yard sensor to try and save some money so was the DPFE I replaced it with bad? i just didn't want to drop $40 for a aftermarket one and like $120 for a motor craft when i went to the junkyard and got this one for $5. also the check engine light does not come on right when i crank it up its about 10 minutes or so of running.
 






As commonly as the DPFE seems to fail, a used DPFE could certainly have been faulty as well. You might also check the wiring to the DPFE and make sure that there are no loose connections.
