The OBD 2 code, P0401 means "low flow". The most common cause of this code with any Ford vehicle is the DPFE sensor, NOT the E.G.R. Other causes could be blocked passages for the EGR, or leaking or restricted hoses that go to the DPFE. == ==

What the problem about po401?

The code means EGR Insufficient Flow. This does NOT necessarily mean that the EGR needs to be replaced, but there is a problem with it. Take it to a respectable mechanic and have your car tested. Only a service professional who is inspecting your car will know what exactly needs to be replaced.

Depends on what its on. Most of the time that code indicates your EGR valve is bad and needs to be replaced. If its on a diesel engine, there is also a procedure call an "EGR delete" that will actually increase your horsepower and fuel efficiency. But your emissions might not pass e-check ???

well you don't. there is no reset on the check engine light. have someone run a scan on your rav and see what code it has. you can find out what's the problem is. and get it fixed. the most common code is a po401. and most of the time it is the svs switch that needs to be replaced. i just did mine about three weeks ago. by the way check out rav4world on the net. alot of good info there on your rav4 4.1.
