Here is an article on the basics of EGR function. Some of it doesn't pertain to your particular vehicle, as your's has an electronic EGR, where the author is describing a vacuum operated system. Your EGR valve is mounted on the back of the upper plenum near the throttle body. It is a 3-solenoid electronic valve that is held on by 2 bolts.

If you are lucky cleaning may help it.
But about half the time the egr valve will be bad but clean it and look over first.
Here is a link to testing it.

good suggestions guys. another thing that wasnt mentioned, well maybe but not made clear, the passage going into the intake might have a nice size booger blocking it up and setting the code. a coathanger, patience and time should get it cleared but be careful to not let a lot of it drop into the plenum.
