FAP failure Volvo FH540 : Definitive elimination of the problem
Particle filter clogged and regeneration impossible
On this 2019 Volvo FH4 540, the particulate filter problem not only affects the use of the vehicle, but also its reliability. The main consequences are as follows:
Power loss: a blocked particulate filter can reduce the amount of air circulating through the engine, resulting in power loss and reduced engine efficiency.
Engine problems: a blocked particulate filter can cause engine problems such as misfiring, vibration, error codes and incorrect combustion rate.
Problems with turbo breakage: when a Volvo FH540 FAP failure occurs, exhaust gases are no longer evacuated and rise in the intake, causing excess pressure that can damage the turbo.
Engine damage: in extreme cases, a clogged particulate filter can damage the engine by causing high temperatures, high pressures and thermal overload.
Increased fuel consumption: when the engine has to work harder to compensate for the loss of power, fuel consumption can increase.
Tackling the problem: Adblue Services solution
The programming of EMS 2.4 on the Volvo FH540 truck remedies the frequent failure of the particulate filter (DPF). The anti-pollution device is removed, and the DPF can be removed or emptied. Using this programming, the LIMP mode is permanently eliminated, ensuring optimal engine operation without performance restrictions.
The crucial step is to reset the system's soot values. This is necessary to correct any measurement errors in the emission control system.
The Adblue system is also removed when EMS 2.4 is programmed. Adblue consumption is now zero, and the vehicle can be exported or used abroad in areas where Euro 6 standards are not in force.
