Volvo Penta Adblue system fault
Solving an AdBlue problem Volvo Penta Albach Diamant 2000
Machine shutdowns due to exhaust gas aftertreatment problems are quite common. The AdBlue and FAP systems need to be virtualized to send consistent information to the EMS engine control unit, so that normal operation can be restored.
Solving the AdBlue fault via a virtualization box: The quickest and easiest way
The easiest way to counter AdBlue problems on a Volvo Penta is to install the virtualization box. This has been specially developed to transmit correct information on the level of adblue present, its quality, but also on the temperature, the quantity of adblue injected and so on. In other words, with this unit you can avoid power restrictions on your Albach Diamant 2000. Below is the TAD16xxVE engine, also known as the D16J, fitted to Albach models.
How to install and troubleshoot AdBlue failure on Volvo Penta engines
Installation of the troubleshooting module is extremely simple, and has been developed so that anyone can restore full power to the machine in just a few minutes, without having to waste time and money on a costly appointment with Volvo CE. The principle is very simple: just locate the ACM (emission treatment module) and disconnect the wiring harness that runs to it. It's a very simple connector to remove, but the location is behind the big cable cabinet and you'll need to remove 4 screws to access it. (Allow around twenty minutes). Once the connector has been removed, simply connect the virtualization box to the harness, and you'll see that it has been designed to plug in and lock directly like the original ACM.

FAP and Adblue Volvo Penta
The troubleshooting system allows you to virtualize the FAP and SCR data, and thus get out of the degraded mode without any further intervention on your part. In general, there's no need to erase faults, which will disappear on their own. For better operation, you can also remove the particle filter cartridge (to release the gases).
EMS & ACM reprogramming Volvo Penta
We also offer EMS (engine control unit) and ACM (emission control unit) reprogramming services. In addition to modifying the machine's power output, this also enables us to influence the operation of the EGR valve. This operation requires a full day's work, as well as our physical travel.
