Symptoms
Symptoms of a C0036 Apperson Special diagnostic trouble code may include:
- The engine oil will exhibit dilution from the ECUs attempts to increase engine temperature. Some vehicles advance the fuel injection timing slightly after top center to afterburn a small amount of fuel to increase exhaust temperatures. Some of this fuel enters the crankcase. When the ECU determines the necessity to regenerate the DPF, the service life of the oil be shortened significantly
- Faulty or damaged wiring
- Hesitation upon acceleration
- If the DPF is not cleared the ECU will revert to the "Limp Home Mode" until the situation is corrected
|
Possible Causes :
- A large air leak at or near the number one oxygen sensor would also cause a lean mixture.
- Faulty IMRC actuator relay (if equipped)
- Defective ECU strategies or components will prevent proper regeneration
