P322F Diagnostic Trouble Code
P322F 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 P322F diagnostic trouble code may include:
- Cherry red hot catalytic converter
- Poor acceleration
- The light may stay on or light intermittently as the DPF regenerates. The engine will be sluggish on acceleration.
- Hesitation upon acceleration
|
Possible Causes :
- Some aftermarket accessories and performance modifications
- 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.
- 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 all testing has passed so far yet you still have the same code, check your scan tool and see if it can open and close the IMRC valve.
Process Tips
