P1412 · VolkswagenEGR Differential Pressure Sensor Signal Too Low

P1412 on Volkswagen vehicles means the engine control module (ECM) has detected a signal from the EGR differential pressure sensor that is lower than the expected range for the current operating conditions. The sensor monitors the pressure difference across the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve to verify actual flow, and a low signal typically indicates a blockage, a faulty sensor, or a wiring problem.
