Symptoms
Symptoms of a P0081 Caterham 485r diagnostic trouble code may include:
- Faulty or damaged wiring
- 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
- Poor fuel economy
- The light may stay on or light intermittently as the DPF regenerates. The engine will be sluggish on acceleration.
|
Possible Causes :
- An air leak forward of the DPF will change the sensor readings resulting in the code
- Rusty exhaust systems, cracked exhaust manifolds or damaged or missing gaskets or donuts will cause air leaks.
- A large vacuum leak would cause a massive amount of un-metered air to enter the intake manifold resulting in an overly lean mixture.

Common Misdiagnoses
- Exhaust Gas Recirculation System Valve 1 Problem
- BBV Sensor Circuit Low Voltage Problem
- Transmission Engaged At High Throttle Angle Problem
- Cruise Inhibit Control Circuit Problem
- TFP Valve Position Switch-Drive Without Drive Ratio Problem
Repair Processes :
Now, clear the codes and test-drive the vehicle to see if the code is reset.
Look for missing ground strap or a rusty ground where the fuel tank is grounded to the frame. Check for damage to the wiring harness connector.
Replace the oxygen sensor that is downstream from the catalytic converter on the side of the engine that does not contain cylinder #1. Also, if a oxygen sensor code stating "heater circuit malfunction" the sensor has most probably failed.
