Hino P2048 Fault Code: DEF Injector – Disconnection (Disconnection (Low Side))
Technical Description
- DEF dosing valve is controlled by DCU
- DEF dosing valve detects disconnection and short-circuit based on the circuit voltage and signals in DCU.
Description Of Malfunction
DEF injector failure is detected
Dtc Set Condition
DTC Detection Condition:
- Starter switch ON
- DEF injector duty cycle > 0%
Judgment Criteria:
DEF dosing valve circuit voltage (Low side): Below 0.2 V for more than 0.05 sec
Reset Condition
After having restored to the normal conditions
Indication, Warning Or System Control Regulation When The Dtc Is Set
- MIL: ON
- DEF injection is stopped
- NOx reduction quantity monitoring is aborted
Symptoms On The Vehicle When The DTC Is Set
Symptoms on the Vehicle Due to Backup Control (Fail Safe Function):
Exhaust gas purification function is declined
- Abnormal consumption of DEF solution
Pre-Inspection Work
Check that the battery voltage is in the normal range.
After-Inspection Work
- Clear all past DTCs
- Check that no DTC is stored after test drive
Possible Causes
- Disconnection or short-circuit in sensor harness
- Abnormal resistance of DEF injector
- Malfunction in DEF injector
Inspection Procedure
Troubleshooting Steps
Step 1: Inspect for short-circuit in the DEF injector harness
Check the connection of the DEF injector connector (Looseness and poor contact)
Were any failures found?
| Yes | Connect securely, repair if needed. Clear all past DTCs. Check if no DTC is stored after test drive |
| No | Go to Step 2 |
Step 2: Inspect the DEF injector unit
Set the starter switch to the “LOCK” position
Disconnect the DEF injector connector
Use the electrical tester to measure the resistance between the terminals of the DEF injector
| MEASUREMENT CONDITIONS | TESTER CONNECTIONS | STANDARD VALUES |
| Starter switch: LOCK | DEF injector
DML – DMH |
20°C {68°F}: 11.4 – 12.6 Ω |
Do the measurements meet the standard value?
| Yes | Go to Step 3 |
| No | Replace the DEF injector. Clear all past DTCs. Check if no DTC is stored after test drive |
Step 3: Inspect for short-circuit in the DEF injector harness
- Disconnect the DCU 86P connector
- Connect the signal check harness and use the electrical tester to measure the resistance between the terminals of the DCU 86P vehicle-side connector and the ground
| MEASUREMENT CONDITIONS | TESTER CONNECTIONS | STANDARD VALUES |
| Starter switch: LOCK | DCU 86P vehicle-side connector
DML – Ground DMH – Ground |
∞ Ω |
Do the measurements meet the standard value?
| Yes | Go to Step 5 |
| No | Repair or replace the harness. Clear all past DTCs. Check if no DTC is stored after test drive |
Step 4: Inspect disconnection of the DEF injector harness
- Connect the DEF injector connector
- Connect the signal check harness and use the electrical tester to measure the resistance between the terminals of the DCU 86P vehicle-side connector
Step 5: Check the DTC detected (DCU)
- Perform an engine warm-up. (Water temperature: 60°C {140°F} or more)
- Stop the engine and set the starter switch to the “LOCK” position
- Connect the vehicle to the diagnostic tool
- Set the starter switch to the “ON” position
- Select [DCU] and check if P2048 has been detected
Has DTC P2048 been detected?
| Yes | Replace the DCU (Perform DPR forced regeneration after replacement). Clear all past DTCs. Check if no DTC is stored after test drive |
| No | Procedure completed. Clear all past DTCs. Check if no DTC is stored after test drive |
