P22CE Diagnostic Trouble Code
P22CE is a kind of OBD-II Diagnostic P-Powertrain 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 P22CE 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
- 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.
- Defective ECU strategies or components will prevent proper regeneration
|
Repair Processes :
Once located, visually inspect the connectors and wiring. Look for rubbing, scraping, bare wires, worn spots or melted plastic connectors. 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.
Look at the plug wires to make sure they are not burnt or laying on the exhaust.
Process Tips
Diagnostic trouble code P22CE is not difficult to diagnose and repair. Thus, it always pays to have a qualified technician to look after your vehicle should this error code arise.
Diagnosing this code requires the engine to be in good running shape, without unmetered air entering the engine. If other codes that relates to misfiring condition, lean running or air entering the engine is present, then you must first fix those error codes before P22CE.
Fortunately, P22CE is a fairly common OBD code, meaning that it applies to all makes and models of vehicles made after 1996.
