This document discusses diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and provides information on: 1) How DTCs are structured to identify the monitored component, system affected, and specific fault. 2) The types of DTCs (A, B, C, D) and how they differ in turning on warning lights and storing fault information. 3) What information is stored in freeze frame/failure records when a fault first occurs. 4) The monitored systems and limited operation strategies for diesel vehicles. 5) The key differences between conventional and common rail fuel systems in diesel engines.

DTCs (cont’d)

 The letter identifies the function of the monitored component that has failed
 P0137
 P – Indicates a Powertrain device
 C – Indicates a Chassis device
 B – Indicates a Body device
 U – Indicates a Network or Data Link code
 The first number identifies that the code is either a generic or manufacturer specific code
 P0137
 0 – Indicates generic
 1 – Indicates manufacturer
 The second number identifies the system that is affected
 P0137
 1 – Indicates Fuel and Air Metering
 2 – Indicates Fuel and Air Metering (injector circuit malfunctions only)
 3 – Indicates Ignition System or Misfire
 4 – Indicates Auxiliary Emission Controls
 5 – Indicates Vehicle Speed Control and Idle Control System
 6 – Indicates Computer Output Circuits
 7 – Indicates Transmission
 8 – Indicates Transmission
 The last two numbers identify the component or system area which is experiencing the fault
 P0137
 In this example the 37 indicates HO2S Circuit Low Voltage Bank 1 Sensor 2

DTCs (cont’d)

 Type A
 Emissions related.
 Turns ON the MIL after one failed drive cycle
 Sets a DTC
 Stores a Freeze Frame (if empty) after one failed drive cycle
 Stores and updates a Failure Record every time the diagnosis fails
 Type B
 Emissions related
 Turns ON the MIL after two consecutive failed driving cycles
 Sets a DTC
 Armed after one drive cycle with a failure
 Disarmed after one drive cycle with a pass
 Stores a Freeze Frame (if empty) after two consecutive failed driving cycles
 Stores a Failure Record after one failed drive cycle
 Updates Failure Record each time the diagnostic fails

46

DTCs (cont’d)

 Type C
 Non-emissions related
 Turns ON an Auxiliary MIL and sets a DTC after one failed drive cycle
 Does not store a Freeze Frame
 Stores a Failure Record after one failed drive cycle
 Updates the Failure Record each time the diagnostic fails
 Type D
 Non-emissions related
 Does not turn ON the MIL
 Sets a DTC
 Does not store a Freeze Frame
 Stores a Failure Record after one failed drive cycle and updates each time the diagnostic
fails

47
Freeze Frame/Failure Records

 The first time a fault occurs, the on-board computer will store conditions and data
which were present when the fault was detected. This information is stored in
Freeze Frame/Failure Records which include:
 Fuel mode (open or closed loop)
 Engine load
 Fuel trim value / injection quantities
 Intake manifold pressure
 Engine and vehicle speed
 Mileage covered since fault was detected
 If the failure is emission related the ECM/PCM may adopt a Limited Operation Strategy (LOS or
limp home mode)
 Value substitution
 Circuit substitution
 Ignore the signal

48
Diesel Monitored Systems

 Fuel
 Misfire
 EGR
 Turbocharger
 DPF
 Cooling

49

Conventional VS Common Rail

 Overview
 Advanced electronic control technology
 Developed to meet high pressurization requirements for cleaner exhaust gas regulations on diesel
engines
 Improved fuel economy
 Increased power output
 Reduced noise
