What causes P2000 to be stored in NOx Trap?

What causes P2000 to be stored in NOx Trap?

Additional diagnostic notes: 1 Incorrect or absent rejuvenation fluid is the most common cause of a code P2000 being stored 2 EGR valve elimination is often the cause of NOx trap inefficiency 3 High performance aftermarket exhaust components can also lead to a stored P2000

What does the P2000 OBD2 diagnostic code mean?

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.

What does the P2000 code on a PCM mean?

The P2000 code usually indicates that the powertrain control module (PCM) has detected a level of nitric oxide (referred to here as NOx), as reported by the post-catalyst NOx sensor, that is higher than desired. Bank 1 refers to the side of the engine containing the number one cylinder.

What does a stored P2000 Bank 1 mean?

Although generic, the specific repair steps may vary depending on make/model. A stored P2000 means that the powertrain control module (PCM) has detected a level of nitric oxide (NOx) that is higher than a programmed limit. Bank 1 refers to the side of the engine which contains the number one cylinder.
