Symptoms
Symptoms of a U0228 Mercedes C Class diagnostic trouble code may include:
- Faulty O2 Sensor
- Lack of power
- If the DPF is not cleared the ECU will revert to the "Limp Home Mode" until the situation is corrected
- 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
|
Possible Causes :
- Defective ECU strategies or components will prevent proper regeneration
- The Mass Airflow sensor is a hot wire that senses the volume of air entering the intake manifold. The computer uses this information to control fuel mixture.
- Fuel with a large percentage of sulfur will clog the DPF quickly

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 :
