The stupid P0401 code!!
Well, we got back to the airport at 1 am this morning. Tossed the luggage in and headed home.
2 miles into the drive, the CEL light came on. Dang it!
Got up this morning and used the Torque APP to see what it was. P0401
Cleared the code. Went for a drive just now and it didn't return. Good, didn't want to deal with this today.
Oh, and this is on our 2002 Suzuki XL-7 !!!!!!!!!!!
We just can't get away from that dang valve!!! LOL
You think our EGR valve on our trucks are hard to get out? Check out where they put it on these motors! There isn't any room to get there!
Yes, that is the rear of the motor.

WHYYY do the Auto makers do that? just pull the hood off and stand the car on its front bumper the valve will be at chest height.

Dang, good idea! I'm sure the weight of the car wont do anything to the front end. Might help to put a blanket down first for padding. LOL

Acuras and Hondas are notorious for EGR codes...
