Sounds like it. It happened to my Escape too. I took it to the shop and $28 later I had a new EGR valve and no check engine light.

ya got off light, I tell ya. My wife had a 93 Buick Century, 3.1L engine. $600 for parts and labor for the new "digital" EGR valve. Still didn't get rid of the light. I finally fixed it when I noticed a burned spot on the wireing to the EGR valve, cut the wire to either side of the burn, and put in a crimp-splice to join ends. Broken wire would connect sometimes, sometimes not... Stupid tech didn't bother to check the wiring. They wouldn't fix it because they couldn't find it. I stopped having work done at that dealership because they also did a state safety inspection while it was in, and a week later, the muffler fell off; entire front face was rusted out completely. It would have cost me $300 to replace the EGR valve, but I didn't have time to do it, so let my wife take it to the dealer we bought it from (used) and the expensive warranty didn't cover emission control systems.
