B3223 Diagnostic Trouble Code
B3223 is a kind of OBD-II Diagnostic B-Body Diagnostic Trouble Code.
It is considered generic because it applies to all makes and models of vehicles, although specific repair steps may be different depending on your car model.
Symptoms
Symptoms of a B3223 diagnostic trouble code may include:
- The light may stay on or light intermittently as the DPF regenerates. The engine will be sluggish on acceleration.
- Faulty PCM
- If the DPF is not cleared the ECU will revert to the "Limp Home Mode" until the situation is corrected
- Reduction in engine performance, especially at low RPM levels

Possible Causes :
- A faulty oxygen sensor. This will set a code in itself, however, a faulty oxygen sensor does not automatically condemn the sensor. The code just means that the sensor signal was not within specifications. An air leak or any of the above will cause an erroneous signal. There is a multitude of O2 codes relating to O2 performance which gives a clue to the problematic area.
- Some aftermarket accessories and performance modifications
- An air leak forward of the DPF will change the sensor readings resulting in the code

Repair Processes :
With the valve disconnected, the red voltmeter lead should be attached to the IMRC valve power wire and the black voltmeter lead connected to ground.
If you find a related TSB, the information will often help in diagnosing the code in question as TSBs are crested from many thousands of repairs.
