Start car with egr disconected. You should hear a sucking noise from said hole. If not you must clear this hole and there is your problem. If it is open then all thayt is left is the egr valve itself. hth

If that finds nothing wrong, remove the EGR valve and bypass tube and check them for cleanliness and blockages. If they are blocked, follow your maintenance manual's instructions for cleaning them out so you do not damage the valve, then replace them and reset the ECM.

Insufficient EGR Flow - P0401 Code - Toyota

tip

P0401 Error, Insufficient EGR Flow

In my case this was caused by a bad hose from the Throttle Body to the EGR Vacuum Switching Valve. Pictures are taken from the left side of the car except for the picture of the original hose. This is with the 4 cylinder engine. I used a piece of fuel/vacuum line that I had. It fit snugly which made my cost of repair zero.

This is the end of the original hose with the crack plainly visible.

Replacement hose at throttle (far right). This is where it was cracked.

Check light on,problem shows on p 0401

P0401-Insufficient flow in the exhaust gas recirculation system (EGR-valve). Check your gas cap for cracked seal, check EGR valve (make sure all vacuum hoses aren't leaking), check also VSV (vacuum switching valve) for proper operation. Its best to get an owner's manual or an experienced mechanic to diagnose!!hopefully this helpd

What's wrong with the code P0401 for camry 96

P0401 OBD-II Trouble Code
Insufficient EGR Flow
What does that mean?
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 (DPF). 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.

Engine lt on

There is a vsv (vacuum switching valve) located under the intake manifold that goes bad very often causing this code. Its hard to get to. Follow the hoses from the black plastic round valve(egr modulator) you see next to the EGR valve to find the vsv.

Code P0401 1998 Toyota Camry

I'm assuming that it is a four cyl.The p0401 code is for insufficient egr flow.Most of the time it is the egr vsv valve (vsv means vacuum switching valve)which is what controls the vacuum to the egr valve to open it.It is kind of hard to get to as it is on the block under the head on the back side.If you follow the hose from the egr valve it goes to the vsv.I have also seen mice eat holes in the vacuum line which would also give you problems.I hope this help and let me know if you have anymore questions
