Default P0401 EGR sensor !

so i had this code in the predator which is p0401 which is: EGR flow insufficient detected ( after i fix the diver side headers cause there was leak,however, i did search about this code and alot of websites said that it caused by the egr sensor which is this:



after i instal it the SES light didnt go ! so i cleared it, and then apear again !

so why this sensor didnt fix my problem?

is it the wrong sensor to replace?

or there is further problem to be fix?

Here's what the 2002 shop manual says about P0401.

Work each potential issue, check to make sure the EGR pipe is not stuffed up...
