In the Ford F-150 truck, the P0401 code signals a problem with the emissions system. This issue typically stems from a faulty DPFE (Delta Pressure Feedback of EGR) sensor, a malfunctioning EGR valve and its components, or a problematic throttle body. The issue occurs when exhaust gases are not re-circulated properly due to contamination, component failure, or an ECM malfunction. The code reflects insufficient flow in the system, and F-150 owners should be mindful that the throttle body can get obstructed with dirt, sludge, and debris in specific ports. If your truck's "check engine" light is on and you experience hesitation while driving, it might be due to EGR-related concerns linked to the P0401 code.

P0401 signifies that the engine's computer has identified an issue with the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system, indicating a deficiency in flow.
