Here's the description for the DTC P1406: The PCM monitors the EGR valve pintle position input to ensure that
the valve responds properly to commands from the PCM and to detect a malfunction if the pintle position sensor and control circuits are open or shorted. If
the PCM detects a pintle position signal voltage outside the normal range
of the pintle position sensor, or a signal voltage that is not within a tolerance
considered acceptable for proper EGR system operation, the PCM will set DTC
P1406.
That means there is possibly a problem within the EGR valve itself, or a wiring/connector related to the EGR valve. Having a scan tool to command the EGR valve and watch the data would be extremely helpful in diagnosing this code.
Here's the description for DTC P1441:
The EVAP vacuum switch is a normally closed switch positioned in the purge line
between the canister and the EVAP purge valve. The EVAP vacuum switch will open when
vacuum increases to greater than 5 inches of water (in H2O) in the purge
line. The PCM monitors the EVAP vacuum switch signal to determine if the evaporative
emission control system is working properly. If the switch is open (purge flow detected)
when the PCM is not commanding the EVAP purge valve ON, DTC P1441 will be set.
Again, this code would be best diagnosed with a scan tool that can command the purge valve and allow you to watch the data related to it. Check your vacuum lines and electrical connections to the purge vacuum switch. If the vacuum switch is unplugged this code can set.
