Remove the EGR all together. Get a tune or some sims. You are most likely thinking of the SES light.

Toss the EGR in the trash (as long as you don't have a visual emissions inspection) and plug up the hole in the intake with a
1 3/4" adjustable plug
Then get a tune to eliminate the SES light

Right, you can disable the codes so you don't have to look at the annoying light
BTW get the expandable plug before you start the install
