Default EGR, Check engine ligth.

Hey guys I got a 2001 camry 4cyl, 113k on the mileage. About 2 days ago my check engine ligth came on for the first time. I quickly went to get it scanned for free at autozone. It came back as 2 codes, one said that I have a bad egr sensor or it migth of ben a pressure sensor, the other one was that i need a new egr valve. The guy working told me it was most likekly the valve. Well later on that day I started up my car and the ligth went off and has been off for about 2 days now.

What should I do?

Yes, the car is safe to drive, just drive normally. Under severe engine loading the engine may ping.
