DTC P0401: INSUFFICIENT EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR) FLOW DETECTED

DTC is set when after engine is warmed up, intake manifold absolute pressure is more than calculated valve by ECM while EGR system is on. Possible causes are:

• EGR valve stuck closed.
• VSV open or short circuit.
• Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor.
• EGR vacuum hose disconnected.
• ECM.

You would have to proceed to those that you have not check yet.
