S80 2.4d lack of power

[starion]

Hi, wondering if anyone can help with my 2.4d 08 S80?

The MIL indicator is on and the car has a severe lack of power, which makes it almost undriveable.

I had it scanned with a code reader and it shows P0409 exhaust gas recirculation sensor A circuit.

Does this mean that I am looking at replacing the EGR valve on the car?

Does anyone have similar experiences with this model??

Thanks for any help.
