I have a Dodge Ram pick-up. When the check engine light comes on, I turn the key in the ignition to the point when the instrument panel lights up but not turning over the engine, then return the key to the off position to where it's in the position which will allow you to remove your key, but don't remove it. Repeat this two more times in rapid succession, but on the last time do not turn the key back, leave it on in the position where the instrument panel stays lit. This will initiate a series of check engine light flashes that typically come in two series. The flashes will have a pause between them and a longer pause between the the next series of flashes. Record these numbers and look up in a Haynes manual. This is a manual that will be made for your specific make and model of vehicle. In my manual for the Dodge Ram it appears in Chapter 6. The number I recorded will be listed there with the diagnosis of the problem and how this problem can be fixed. Try the key test and if it works for the Durango as well, perhaps it might not be a bad idea to purchase a manual if you haven't done so already. I like to purchase one with every vehicle I own. It really saves alot of money performing the work myself and the book is easy to follow with the step-by-step instructions that are provided in it.

304 is Cylinder #4 misfire detected. 403 is EGR circuit malfunction. It is my understanding since OBDII came out they are standard SAE codes. You can look in any manual, and the codes will be given. If you look in a proprietary book, certain codes that do not apply to that vehicle will not be displayed. For example 312 would only apply to a vehicle with a 12 cylinder engine.
Note to answerers: not all OBDII readers display the P or the zero in front of the numbers.

Well you dont have the codes right. A actual code would look like this: P3044 for example. Recheck then get back with me!!!

The code looks wrong. It supose to look like similar to P0403. It also depends on the year, engine size, and modle.
