Good afternoon Marauderers. When I adopt my new CVLX Panther I note that it has the "check engine" light on and when I look for Scan the monitor it indicates P0401 and after that I delete but every time I start the Panther the warning light goes on, I post pics of that need help from the tech experts here thank to read.

Quote:
"P0401 - EGR Flow Insufficient Detected The EGR system is monitored during steady state driving conditions while the EGR is commanded on. The test fails when the signal from the DPF EGR sensor indicates that EGR flow is less than the desired minimum.
Vacuum supply
EGR valve stuck closed
EGR valve leaks vacuum
EGR flow path restricted
EGRVR circuit shorted to PWR
VREF open to D.P.F. EGR sensor
D.P.F. EGR sensor downstream hose off or plugged
EGRVR circuit open to PCM
VPWR open to EGRVR solenoid
D.P.F. EGR sensor hoses both off
D.P.F. EGR sensor hoses reversed
Damaged EGR orifice tube
Damaged EGRVR solenoid
Damaged PCM
Perform KOER self-test and look for DTC P1408 as an indication of a hard fault. If P1408 is not present, look for contamination, restrictions, leaks, and intermittents.
not likely the PCM, engine computer. they seldom go bad."

Here's a dumb question. Why do you keep erasing it in the first place? It's not like it will just go away..

That warning light distracts me from looking ahead while driving, until I solve this problem I have no other choice

You don't learn unless you practice. Ford code p0401 then search.

I took the bulb out of my check engine light, it seems like the car is faster now.

Today the Panther was taken to the mechanic and the EGR valve was replaced which was the cause for the P0401 code, bye bye to the annoying "check engine" light at last now my Panther is more healthy and powerful. [emoji12][emoji2][emoji48][emoji106][emoji78][emoji106]
