Hi,
My 06 ranger 2.5 TDCI is turning on the check engine light, having 2 codes for EGR: P0401 exhaust gas recirculation flow insufficient detected and P0404 exhaust gas recirculation control circuit range/performance.

I checked, but replacement EGR is almost 300 pounds and i m not fitting a used one.

I was thinking to blank it off, but a quick internet search and it appears that if i do i will get a constant check engine light cause the EGR will not be there. If I leave it there with blanking plates I think I will still get insufficient flow one.

Am I correct in assuming so? also is there an easy way around this? (without removing the check engine light)
