What is NOx Adsorber efficiency below threshold?

What is NOx Adsorber efficiency below threshold?

P2000 is a general OBD2 diagnostic trouble code that indicates a malfunction with the NOx Trap; specifically, the NOx trap has efficiency that is below threshold for Bank 1. The Engine Control Module (ECM) checks for the proper levels of NOx detected and when it detects a very low threshold, a P2000 code is set.

What is NOx Regen?

Abstract: NOx adsorber-catalyst systems have been developed to control NOx emissions from partial lean burn gasoline engines and from diesel engines. After the adsorber capacity is saturated, the system is regenerated during a period of rich engine operation, and released NOx is catalytically reduced to nitrogen.

How to check for a P2000 NOx Trap?

Visually inspect the related wiring harness and connectors. Check for damaged components and look for broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded connector’s pins. The cost of diagnosing the P2000 code is 1.0 hour of labor. The auto repair labor rates vary by location, your vehicle’s make and model, and even your engine type.

What is the trouble code for NOx Trap efficiency?

P2000 is a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) for “NOx Trap Efficiency Below Threshold Bank 1”. This can happen for multiple reasons and a mechanic needs to diagnose the specific cause for this code to be triggered in your situation. Our certified mobile mechanics can come to your home or office to perform the Check Engine Light diagnostic for $0.0 .

Which is more stable post NOx or pre NOx Trap?

The downstream (post NOx trap) NOx sensor output voltage should remain much more stable than that of the upstream sensor. If this is not the case, suspect a defective NOx trap element or diesel exhaust fluid injection system malfunction.

What are the common causes of code P2000?

What are the common causes of code P2000? 1 A defective or overloaded NOx trap or NOx trap element. 2 A malfunction in the diesel exhaust fluid injection system. 3 Inadequate NOx reductant fluid. 4 Inoperable exhaust gas recirculation system. 5 Severe exhaust leak upstream of the NOx trap.

How does NOx reductant injection work on a P2000?

Reductant injection is accomplished with an injector that is electronically controlled by either the PCM or the SCR module. A remote reservoir contains NOx reductant fluid/diesel fuel; it resembles a small fuel tank. Reductant pressure is generated using an electronically controlled fuel pump.

When does diagnostic trouble code set on P2000?

Then the engine is put into a richer running mode where the oxygen concentration and NOx levels are low, and the absorbed NOx is released, keeping the average NOx emissions low. The Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set when the NOx Adsorptive Catalyst Efficiency is below the threshold.
