There are pages and pages of things that can cause a check engine light. You need to have it checked with a scantool. Then the code can be diagnosed and repaired.

What is causing the check engine light to stay on the egr valve is clean and carbon free?

If you just cleaned the EGR and replaced it, you can turn off the Check Engine Light (CEL) by disconnecting the negative battery cable for a couple of minutes. The engine may run rough for a few miles until it "re-learns". If the CEL comes back on, take the vehicle to AutoZone for a free scan. If the code still indicates a faulty EGR, it may have to be replaced.
