Default P401 code

Hey guys today my truck threw a p 401 code and want to know what's causing it. Also a week ago I noticed my AC only blows out the defrost vents and no matter what setting you put the selection **** on hot or cold it still blows out the defrost vent. I was wanting to know if the vacuum leak that's causing it to only blow out the defrost vent could cause that code. Truck is a 99 f150 4x4 with the 5.4. Thanks in advance, Clay

https://www.obd-codes.com/p0401 It's EGR/DPFE related most likely.

The 401 has nothing to do with your AC and defrost, - not sure why you would combine the two. I 'll contribute to your thread title heading and first problem, -

That's almost always a DPFE problem.
