Your check engine light isn't working, and your vehicle's diagnostic system isn't communicating properly with the onboard computer. Because of this, your evaporative emissions system isn't functioning correctly, which means your car can't pass emissions testing and isn't meeting clean air standards. This will likely require diagnosing and repairing the OBD system communication issue and checking the evaporative system components.

Your check engine light (EGR warning) stays on while driving at any speed. The dealer has already replaced the EGR valve and EGR switch twice, but the light hasn't turned off. The issue likely involves the EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) system or related sensors that need further diagnosis.
