P0401 Exhaust Gas Recirculation Flow Insufficient Detected replaced the EGR valve but "check engine light" comes back on with same P0401 code

P0401 Exhaust Gas Recirculation Flow Insufficient Detected. Remove EGR valve and check for blockage in the passages of the exhaust and intake. If those are clean, replace the EGR valve. EGR valve failure is very common on Chrylsers.

Here's a link on your P0401 and how to repair, OBD II code P0401 Exhaust EGR Flow Insufficient

code p0401 refers to exhaust gas recirculation(EGR) system-insufficient flow detected--- Causes ---hose leak/blockage, basic setting not carried out( if applicable)wiring--EGR valve/solenoid---ECM I would check the EGR valve solenoid first. Replace the faulty units with genuine one because most aftermarket units are not set for OEM cpu units and are not completely
compatible.

OBD-II Trouble Code P0401 - Insufficient EGR Flow

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. You may notice drivability problems such as pinging (a.k.a. pre-ignition knock) when the engine is under load or the vehicle is at higher speeds. There may also be other symptoms.

A code P0401 most likely means one or more of the following has happened:
The DPFE (differential pressure feedback EGR) sensor is faulty and needs to be replaced
There is a blockage in the EGR (tube), most likely carbon buildup
The EGR valve is faulty
The EGR valve may not be opening due to a lack of vaccuum

Check it and keep us updated. Hope this helps (remember to rating this free answer).

This error means Exhaust Gas Recirculation Flow Insufficient Detected.

P0401....Exhaust Gas Recirculation Flow Insufficient Detected

best advice with the EGR valve problem is to make a gasket with a coca cola can and sel it off completely

P0401 - Exhaust Gas Recirculation Flow Insufficient Detected

Possible causes - Harness or connectors (EGR volume control valve circuit is open or shorted.)
- EGR volume control valve stuck closed
- EGR volume control solenoid valve
- Dead (Weak) battery
- EGR passage clogged
- Exhaust gas leaks Possible solution - Clean EGR Valve
- Repair EGR harness or connector
- Replaced EGR volume control solenoid valve
- Replaced EGR volume control valve

P0401 - Exhaust Gas Recirculation Flow Insufficient Detected

Possible Causes:
- Harness or connectors (EGR volume control valve circuit is open or shorted.)
- EGR volume control valve stuck closed
- EGR volume control solenoid valve
- Dead (Weak) battery
- EGR passage clogged
- Exhaust gas leaks
- Faulty EGR valve

Possible Solutions:
- Clean EGR Valve
- Replace EGR Valve
- Repair EGR harness or connector
- Replace EGR volume control solenoid valve
- Replace EGR volume control valve

P0401 indicates that the Exhaust Gas Recirculation Flow Insufficient Detected. This can be because EGR is faulty . As you have replaced this then the problem must be with the vacuum line . EGR valve vacuum line which can be broken or blocked. The vacumn ine must bbe checked for leaks or any blocks using an vacumn pump connected the line.

P0420 indicates that the down stream oxygen sensor reading is not steady and it is connected with the code P0401.

Causes

A code P0401 most likely means one or more of the following has happened:

• The DPFE (differential pressure feedback EGR) sensor is faulty and needs to be replaced
• There is a blockage in the EGR (tube), most likely carbon buildup
• The EGR valve is faulty
• The EGR valve may not be opening due to a lack of vaccuum

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.

• Use a vacuum pump and pull the EGR valve open while monitoring engine RPM's & DPFE voltage. There should be a noticable difference in RPM's with the EGR open
• Clean out the EGR valve and/or tubing to remove deposits
• Check the voltage at the DPFE, compare to specified values (refer to a repair manual for your specific model)
• Replace the DPFE sensor (with a good quality / OEM one)
• Replace the EGR valve
