dealer cannot get that engine light to stay off.. code is p401 put new egr on and if it sits for 2 days it will go off for about 10 miles an pops back on , dont no what to do.
Your dealer obviously has all this info but you can read through it FYI....
If they replaced the EGR cooler I would think one of the 3 pressure sensors would be the next logical step, IDK.
