Default Check engine light..

Throwing up code PO401 EGR code. I've replaced the EGR valve, came on 25 miles after i put it on. [:@]I cleaned all the carbon out from underneath where the EGR valve sits, light came on two days later. Any ideas? Yes it has 183k on it and i don't really care for it being on because it drives perfectly okay. But good hell that light is annoying.

AND...
ABS light is on. I put it up on the lift at work, removed all the ABS sensors on all four wheels individually and cleaned them thinking that would do the trick and the light came back on..
Any ideas?
I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

What year, model, and engine do you have?

Regardless, the EGR ports are likely plugged up. This will block the exhaust gas after the valve opens up causing the check engine light to come on.
