DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE SENSOR INSPECTION[MZ-CD 1.6 (Y6)]


id0140b2805700

Caution
•  Water penetrating the connector will cause sensor malfunction. To prevent this, be careful not to damage the wiring harnesses or the waterproof connector so as to cause water penetration.
Note
•  Before performing the following inspection, make sure to follow the procedure as indicated in the troubleshooting flowchart. (See HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL.)
Using a hand vacuum pump or pressure pump, apply 300 hPa of pressure to the front pressure line. Does the differential pressure sensor on the M-MDS read 300 hPa?
―  YES : Install a new diesel particulate filter.
―  NO : Install a new diesel particulate filter differential pressure sensor.

Visual Inspection

1.  Remove the diesel particulate filter differential pressure sensor. (See DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION[MZ-CD 1.6 (Y6)].)

2.  Verify that there are no metal shavings on the sensor.

3.  Visually inspect the diesel particulate filter differential pressure sensor for the following:

•  Damage
•  Cracks
•  Rusted sensor terminal
•  Bent sensor terminal
―  If there is any malfunction, replace the diesel particulate filter differential pressure sensor.

4.  Install the diesel particulate filter differential pressure sensor. (See DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION[MZ-CD 1.6 (Y6)].)


Voltage Inspection

1.  Disconnect the hoses connected to the diesel particulate filter differential pressure sensor ports A and B.

2.  Turn the engine switch to the ON position (Engine off).

3.  Verify that the terminal voltage at diesel particulate filter differential pressure sensor terminal C is within the specification.

•  If not within the specification, replace the diesel particulate filter differential pressure sensor. (See DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION[MZ-CD 1.6 (Y6)].)
Diesel particulate filter differential pressure sensor signal voltage (reference)
Approx. 0.21—0.79 V

4.  Verify that the change in voltage at diesel particulate filter differential pressure sensor terminal C is within the specification when a pressure of 30 kPa {225 mmHg, 8.85 inHg} is applied to the diesel particulate filter differential pressure sensor.

•  If it is not as specified, “Circuit Open/Short Inspection”.
―  If there is no open/short circuit, replace the diesel particulate filter differential pressure sensor.
Diesel particulate filter differential pressure sensor terminal voltage variance (reference)
Approx. 1. 73—2.47 V


Circuit Open/Short Inspection

1.  Disconnect the PCM connector. (See PCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION[MZ-CD 1.6 (Y6)].)

2.  Inspect the following wiring harness for an open or short circuit. (Continuity check)

Open circuit

•  If there is no continuity, the circuit is open. Repair or replace the wiring harness.
―  Diesel particulate filter differential pressure sensor terminal A and PCM terminal 207
―  Diesel particulate filter differential pressure sensor terminal B and PCM terminal 119
―  Diesel particulate filter differential pressure sensor terminal C and PCM terminal 246


Short circuit

•  If there is continuity, the circuit is shorted. Repair or replace the wiring harness.
―  Diesel particulate filter differential pressure sensor terminal A and power supply
―  Diesel particulate filter differential pressure sensor terminal A and body ground
―  Diesel particulate filter differential pressure sensor terminal B and power supply
―  Diesel particulate filter differential pressure sensor terminal B and body ground
―  Diesel particulate filter differential pressure sensor terminal C and power supply
―  Diesel particulate filter differential pressure sensor terminal C and body ground
