EGR problem

How about this. New guy, and 2 questions already.

I am working on a '00 Mazda B2500, 2.5 5 speed with about 65K miles on it. The SES light was on. I pulled the codes and got 2 codes. One was a P0401, the other a P0402. These are both EGR related codes. One is for excessive flow of the EGR, the other is a restricted flow for the EGR. How does one acheive restricted and excessive flow at the same time?

I did pull the EGR, and the tube and checked to make sure they weren't clogged up. I know Ford's are notorious for this. Both looked good, and the EGR did not appear to be sticking.

What should I check?

Welcome to FTE!

I'd be thinking a bad DPFE sensor first, then possibly a bad EVR.

Thanks for the info, including the diagram. Is there a way to test these items, or is it just plug and play and see what happens?

Check the warrenty. Emissions is covered for 50,000 miles. I had the same code and Ford fixed it for free I did spend 500 on the brake job thou.
