Hino P20D8 Fault Code: Exhaust fuel doser open/close stuck
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
− The engine ECU detected sticking of the fuel dosing valve (Fuel addition valve/aftertreatment fuel injector).
DTC SET CONDITION
DTC Detection Condition:
DPR regeneration is in process, or the following conditions remain for 3 seconds.
- Engine revolution: 1,000 r/min or more
- Exhaust gas temperature sensor 3 (DOC inlet): 260°C {500°F} or more.
- Exhaust gas temperature sensor 4 (DPR inlet): 200°C {392°F} or more
Number of times of aftertreatment fuel injection (indicated times of engine ECU): 10 times.
Judgment Criteria:
- The number of times of actual fuel injection falls below 30% against the indication of aftertreatment fuel injection.
RESET CONDITION
- Immediately after normal status is resumed.
INDICATION, WARNING OR SYSTEM CONTROL REGULATION WHEN THE DTC IS SET
- MIL: ON
- SVS light: OFF
SYMPTOMS ON THE VEHICLE WHEN THE DTC IS SET
Symptoms on the Vehicle Due to Malfunction:
- DPR regeneration failure.
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 detected after test drive.
POSSIBLE CAUSES
- Fuel leakage (loose joint bolt), clogging, crush, and wrong assembly in fuel pipe (for aftertreatment).
- Malfunction of the fuel dosing valve (abnormality in fuel injection quantity).
- Abnormality in characteristics of aftertreatment fuel injection line pressure sensor.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
Step 1) Check the DTC detected [Diagnostic Tool].
- Set the starter switch to the “LOCK” position.
- Connect the diagnostic tool to the vehicle.
- Set the starter switch to the “ON” position.
- Select [Engine] on the screen of the diagnostic tool and check if the DTC P20D8, P20CD, P20CE has been detected.
Has a DTC other than P20D8 been detected?
| Yes – Perform the relevant DTC-specific troubleshooting. | No – Go to Step 2. |
Step 2) Inspect the fuel pipe (for aftertreatment).
- Check if any of the following defects is found in the pipe between the fuel pump and the fuel dosing valve.
− Fuel leakage (loose joint bolt). − Crush. − Wrong assembly.
- Bleed air from the fuel pipe and also check that there is no clogging in the pipe.
Inspection Procedure:
- Set the starter switch to the “ON” position.
- Loosen the joint bolt.
- Slowly push the feed pump until fuel comes out.
CAUTION: Use care, as a large amount of fuel may come out if the feed pump is pushed excessively. Were any failures found?
| Yes – Repair or replace the defective part. After repair or replacement, bleed air from the pipe and perform DPR manual regeneration. | No – Go to Step 3. |
Step 3) Inspect the fuel dosing valve.
- Remove the fuel dosing valve and clean the injection hole.
CAUTION:
- For details of the cleaning steps, refer to the engine workshop information.
- Do not use cloth, etc. for cleaning to prevent clogging.
- Install the fuel dosing valve and inspect operation of the fuel dosing valve by using the diagnostic tool.
- For detailed procedure, refer to the separate sheet Inspecting operation of the fuel dosing valve. Were any failures found?
| Yes – Replace the fuel dosing valve. Clear all past DTCs. Check that no DTC is detected after test drive. | No – Procedure completed. Clear all past DTCs. Check that no DTC is detected after test drive. |
INSPECTING OPERATION OF THE FUEL DOSING VALVE
1) Test method.
- Connect the diagnostic tool to the vehicle.
- Warm up the engine. (Coolant temperature: 80ºC {176 ºF} or more).
- Stop the engine and set the starter switch to the “ON” position.
- Select [Engine] on the screen of the diagnostic tool, select [Customization] and check [DPR deposit volume].
- When the [DPR deposit volume] is 2.5 or more: The value remains unchanged.
- When the [DPR deposit volume] is less than 2.5: The value is changed to 2.5.
- Start the engine.
- On the screen of the diagnostic tool, select [Data monitor setting] and set [DPR exhaust gas temperature (IN)] and [Additional quantity of fuel] (Additive amount of fuel dosing valve) for monitoring.
- Turn ON the DPR manual regeneration switch. − The idle r/min increases, and the exhaust brake is actuated. Then, check that the exhaust brake is released and the idle r/min decreases.
- Save the values on the “Data monitor” and draw a similar graph by referring to Figure 1.
- Read the following from the graph:
- Indication of injection for the fuel dosing valve (point A) – With injection indication: Normal, Without injection indication: Abnormal.
- Temperature of Exhaust Temperature (IN) (point B) — Single-stage rise: Normal, Two-stage rise: Abnormal
