Default Trouble code

I got the service engine code 0402 after I put in a new mass airflow sensor an reset it. I drove it today for a half an hour and the service engine light poped back on I pulled out my scanner and got that code.What does that code usually mean?

EGR flow is detected by the MAP sensor. However if it'* stuck open ...which it should also complain about that.

Excessive flow might be a vacuum leak as well.
