The light won't go out unless you reset it. EGR codes don't always mean the egr valve but a blocked passage between the egr and the exhaust/ vacuum source. Go on line and type Taurus EGR system and you will get some good ideas. Good luck

Suggested Repair

Reset the check engine light after the repairs. Also inspect for a blocked passage between the EGR valve and the exhaust or vacuum source, since an EGR code does not always mean the valve itself has failed.

Conversation Summary

The owner of a Ford Taurus replaced the EGR valve, EGR solenoid, and DPFE sensor, but the check engine light remained on. The expert said the light must be reset and that EGR codes can indicate a blocked passage between the EGR and the exhaust or vacuum source rather than a failed valve.
