The fact that you are saying the EGR is ok, tells me the smoke is most likely a black smoke from the exhaust. If this is the case that indicates excessive fuel in the engine. Here is a guide that will help with this:

Also, I am attached a number of guides that cover loss of power.

Let's run through this material and go from there. The brake light coming on is not related to this so we need to get a new post started for that one. Let us know what questions. Thanks
