P0401 is insufficient EGR flow. You can probably resolve your issue by cleaning the EGR valve. I don't know the ES at all, but maybe you can search for instructions on how to do this. Here is the link to the trouble code page:

Here's a pic from my old 95 Avalon. You should have the exact same engine bay setup other than the radiator (Denso USA made).
