DTC P0401 - EGR A Flow Insufficient Detected

P0401 - EGR A FLOW INSUFFICIENT DETECTED

Description:  This DTC sets when the pressure ratio of the manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor signal and the exhaust pressure (EP) sensor signal across the EGR valve is not as expected. The estimated EGR percent is less than the minimum limit for the operating conditions.
Possible Causes: 
  • Aftermarket intake systems or exhaust systems
  • Restricted airflow (intake or exhaust)
  • Restricted EGR cooler
  • EGR valve position sensor bias
  • EP sensor bias
  • MAP sensor bias
  • Damaged EGR valve
Diagnostic Aids:  The presence of this DTC may indicate that the vehicle is operating in derate mode and may experience a loss of power. After repair, the vehicle may still display a system warning message. Drive the vehicle until the system warning message has cleared from the instrument cluster message center.
