Hey Folks,
I just registered on this forum and I wanted to post a thread in relation to some of my recent issues. I got a lot of excellent information on here and I wanted to return the favor.
For the past 6 months or so, my check engine light has been on. I initially got a code of P0402 (EGR flow excessive). Finally, after reviewing many threads and posts on here, I decided to get this nagging problem fixed. When I went to Autozone to check the code one last time before taking my first step toward fixing it, I got a new code. This code was P0401 (EGR flow insufficient, I think?). Well, I decided to first try replacing the DPFE sensor. This is known as EGR valve sensor at Autozone. The sensor was $22 and took all of 3 minutes to replace. This was 5 days ago and no check engine light. Looks like it was just a faulty sensor.
Thanks again to everyone on here who posted their experiences with this issue. It helped me out a lot and I hope this thread helps someone else.
