In which section of the ERG are the substances hazards listed?
The ERG includes 62 “Guides” (found in the Orange Section) that identify the primary hazards associated with the applicable general category of hazardous material and general guidance on how to respond to incidents involving that general category of hazardous material.
Is the ERG required?
No. The Hazardous Materials Regulations do not require the use of an ERG. However, PHMSA has clarified that the most up-to-date emergency response information should be used to satisfy §172.602. The 2020 ERG contains the most up-to-date emergency response information.
What causes EGR code?

- P0400: EGR flow malfunction.
- P0401: EGR insufficient flow detected.
- P0402: EGR excessive flow detected.
- P0403: EGR circuit malfunction.
- P0404: EGR circuit range/performance.
- P0405: EGR sensor A circuit low.
- P0406: EGR sensor A circuit high.
- P0407: EGR sensor B circuit low.
