Ford fault code p0490 egr control circuit high

[french crap fanatic]

Hi my ford friends
Been told to price up this job on another ford smax 1.8 diesel
I think it's poss a faulty egr valve but without seeing the car,it's hard to pinpoint,so just thought I'd ask on here to see if it's anything common.
Thanks

Beware the EGR comes complete with inlet manifold and to take inlet off you need to take exhaust manifold off first ..

I'd check wiring first.
