Yep! Pull the egr off, clean the port under it all the way to the throttle plate, I use a length of steel coathanger. Put it all back together, reset the codes, if light comes on again, replace the EGR position sensor, thats the one the two small hoses from the exhaust plug into!

Also remove the pipe that goes from E.G.R. To the manifold & clean it, there is an orrifice in it that gets plugged w/carbon. Use Brake cleaner or Carb cleaner & compressed air.
