P0401 "egr insufficient flow" can indicate many things, including: 1-vacuum line plugged or leaking 2-pipe from exhaust to egr valve plugged 3-pipe to vacuum modulator valve from egr valve plugged 4-passages at egr are plugged 5-bad egr valve 6-bad EGR VACUUM MODULATOR VALVE I tried cleaning egr modulator valve, (beside/above egr)removed and tested egr vacuum & movement, inspected and cleaned all vacuum lines openings and pipes. All above did not work. I replaced the egr vacuum modulator valve. Light went out without a reset in about 30 miles of driving. Not sure if this valve can be cleaned. Retails for $69.US
the egr valve is sticking open and causing the motor to surge replace the egr valve and the problem will be solved
I've just cleaned the EGR valve on my 1999 Sebring Convertible. The EGR valve is over by the battery. Look from the front for something that resembles a thermostat.Old AnswerI have a 98 lxi V6. I believe the 3.0 liter is layed out in the same fashion. If it is, the valve is attached to the back of the intake plenum(the big silver thing that looks like 6 tubes stuck together) between the plenum and the firewall. Go to an autoparts store and buy a manual for the sebring. The directions are in there. That is how I did it. Hope this helps.
i had the same problem when i smogged my truck and it is probaly two things the extenison connector to a little sensor on the passenger side fender wall next to the fire wall. just follow the vacuum lines from the egr valve. all it is an 2 inche extenison to a connector that can go bad from time to time and you really don't need it. just plug the sensor back in. the egr position valve sensor. the little plastic thing connect to the outside of the egr valve on the of the enginge to the rear. this part will run you around $30 - $45 dollars

You have to remove the valve covers and maybe 30-11 other parts to get there. Go to your local library for a shop manual. They don't always have the exact model but you can learn the process of a possible repair.
