P245a-egr Cooler Bypass Control Circuit /open

anyone know what causes this code to apear?

I get this during the first warm up of the truck. After starting the truck once warm i don't get it anymore...

All i can figure is the cooler bypass valve cycles at some point during the trucks warm up and the thermocouple in the intake doesn't sense the EGR changing so the ECM gets mad at us...

I'm open to any suggestions other than- "you shouda bought a smarty or xrt"... haha

My truck suddenly started throwing the code a few weeks after the new edge unit was installed. The edge techs appear to be stumped on this one. I only have my EGR blocked; not the full cooler delete. Also, my butterfly is still operational on the intake side. I wish a fooler could be built for the EGR. Smarty and Black Maxx shut it off; I know!

Question: Would it be a bad idea to unblock the EGR during the winter and block it off again during the summer? I know the truck would warm up much faster and I always hear driving a diesel cold is tough on the engine.

Any more thoughts on this issue(s)? How about the code?

Same here- Edge customer service is GREAT! They sent me a COMPLETE new edge that was updated with the- clear codes on start up with delay feature. Which now allows me to start the truck code free(no more P0405). So this was great, but it did nothing to my P245a- same deal as in my earlier post in this thread.

Is this just something all of us with the Edge are living with, or does anyone have a fix, or anyone not seeing it (in winter conditions)?
