That is axiomatically wrong. Just because you aren't in Commifornia doesn't mean the EGR doesn't do anything.

Huh? There is a vacuum control solenoid that the computer uses to open and close the valve. I think that is what you are asking. Quote:
The light is on because the computer is not seeing something it expects to see. You can clear the code as many times as you want, it WILL come back eventually unless you fix the system properly.
