it is your EGR Valve.
EGR stands for Exhaust Gas Recirculation. It is part of the vehicle emmissions system, and is used to reduce combustion temperature and pressure to control Oxides of Nitrogen. There are generally three parts to the EGR system: the EGR valve
, an actuator solenoid, and a differential pressure sensor EGR (DPFE). These things work together to deliver the correct amount of recirculation based on engine temperature, load, etc. The P0401 code means that OBD detected an insufficient amount of EGR.
Causes
A code P0401 most likely means one or more of the following has happened:
Possible Solutions
In fixing this code, it is quite common for people to just replace the EGR valve only to have the OBD code return. The EGR valve is not always the culprit.
LOCATION:
drivers side of the engine bay, just under the intake manifold plenum where the throttle body bolts up! If you take the air snokel off you'll see it better! It has a remote mountted vaccum solenoid with a 2 wire connector
going to it that you should be able to see near the throttle body.
Follow the hose from the solenoid down to the valve and you'll find it!

You can get free owners manuals online at:
http://www.edmunds.com/ownership/howto/articles/120189/article.html
or just type "owners manuals" in your search.
Here is a post I found that worked for my 2005 caravan.
For a
2001 Dodge Caravan: The owner's manual is vague, only stating that all
fuses are under the hood in the fuse box, no diagrams. Once you have
removed the fusebox cover, the diagrams for what each fuse does is
provided under the lid. UNCLEARLY marked is the radio fuse, a 20amp
fuse located 2nd row from top to the right of the accessory relay. It
is marked: RDO/IP IGN.
