Yep, first thread in this section. Maybe the only one for a while? :LOL:

About three weeks ago, the "new" truck popped a code on way home from work. P24B1 -- Particulate Matter Sensor Circuit High Voltage
Cleared that, didnt return.
Checked Permanent Codes, and theres a P2002 -- Diesel Particulate Filter Efficiency Below Threshold
Cant get rid of that one.
Then a couple days ago, I get another code. P1476 -- Particulate Matter Sensor Electrode Supply Circuit High Voltage
Cleared that, hasnt returned.

Got any advice on a) what to do about that P2002? and b) if those two other codes are caused BY the P2002, or are they THE cause of the P2002?

None of these codes showed up during test drive or the three weeks I owned the truck. Guess the guy had a DPF issue and figured out a way to crutch it in order to sell it. Looks like I bought a lemon. Guess I'll have to figure out a way to make lemonade, eh?

Ignore the permanent code. It will eventually clear. Otherwise we will need to find you the steps to follow to actually clear. Basically the truck has to run a process for it to clear. Its not the cause of a MIL and the issue is separate from your current codes that come back.

If i got time tomorrow, ill see what identifix has on those particulate matter codes. Sounds like it may be bad but cant say we have replaced them out here. The green death may have gotten yours

DTC P2002 (ENGINE CONTROLS AND FUEL - 2.5L (LKH LP2) OR 2.8L (LWN) DIESEL)​

Diagnostic Instructions​

DTC Descriptor​

DTC P2002 : Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Low Efficiency

Circuit/System Description​

The diesel exhaust aftertreatment system consists of an under hood pre-catalyst and an underbody catalyst. The underbody catalyst also consists of the main diesel oxidation catalyst and the coated Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). One of the main purposes of the DPF is to collect particulates from the engine exhaust in order to minimize discharge of soot to the atmosphere. The soot particles accumulate in the channels of the DPF and are burned off at regular intervals through a process called regeneration. This prevents the DPF from clogging. The ECM commands the DPF regeneration after calculating various vehicle conditions such as DPF pressure difference, exhaust gas temperature, engine oil quality, engine speed, etc. Excessive accumulation of the soot in the DPF can cause a drop in the engine performance. During regeneration, additional fuel is injected via multiple post injections in order to increase the exhaust gas temperature. During this period, the DPF temperature is raised to approximately 600°C (1 112°F) and the accumulated soot is oxidized or burned off into carbon dioxide (CO2).

Conditions for Running the DTC​

  • The ignition is ON or the engine is cranking or running.
  • The ignition voltage is greater than 11 V.
  • The ambient temperature is warmer than −7°C (19.4°F).
  • The particulate matter sensor is operating.
  • The DTC runs continuously when the above conditions are met.

Conditions for Setting the DTC​

The ECM detects that the pressure difference over the DPF is greater than the set threshold.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets​

DTC P2002 is a type B DTC.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC​

DTC P24B0-P24B6, P24C7, P24D0, OR P24D1 (ENGINE CONTROLS AND FUEL - 2.5L (LKH LP2) OR 2.8L (LWN) DIESEL)​

Diagnostic Instructions​

DTC Descriptors​

DTC P24B0 : Particulate Matter Sensor Circuit Low Voltage

DTC P24B1 : Particulate Matter Sensor Circuit High Voltage

DTC P24B3 : Particulate Matter Sensor Heater Control Circuit

DTC P24B4 : Particulate Matter Sensor Heater Control Circuit Performance

DTC P24B5 : Particulate Matter Sensor Heater Control Circuit Low Voltage

DTC P24B6 : Particulate Matter Sensor Heater Control Circuit High Voltage

DTC P24C7 : Particulate Matter Sensor Temperature Circuit Performance

DTC P24D0 : Particulate Matter Sensor Supply Voltage Circuit Low Voltage

DTC P24D1 : Particulate Matter Sensor Regeneration Incomplete

Circuit/System Description​

The particulate matter (PM) sensor monitors the amount of the particulates (soot) in the diesel exhaust gas exiting the tailpipe. The PM sensor is similar to the heated oxygen sensor with a ceramic element, but also includes an individually calibrated sensor control unit (SCU). The sensing element includes comb-shaped interdigital electrodes (IDE), a heater and a positive temperature coefficient resistor for temperature measurement.

The operation of the PM Sensor is based on the electrical conductivity characteristic of the diesel particulate. As the exhaust gas flows over the sensing element, soot is absorbed in the combs between the electrodes, eventually creating a conductive path. When the path is formed, it generates a current based on the voltage being applied to the element. The measurement process continues until a preset current value is reached. To avoid misleading readings, the sensor performs a regeneration where the soot is cleaned off by heating up the element, before the measurement phase begins. The amount of regenerations is based on vehicle strategy; when the calibrated number of regenerations is reached, the cumulative current readings are used to determine the amount of soot concentration in the exhaust gas which in turn determines the collection efficiency of the diesel particulate filter (DPF).

Involved Region or CountryNorth America, Israel, South America, Australia, Middle East, SE Asia, South Korea and Africa
ConditionSome customers may comment on the SES lamp illuminated and/or excessive smoke coming from the tail pipe.
The technician may find DTC P2002, P226D or P244A set.
InformationP2002 code will set if the properly functioning system detects a cracked or broken DPF. The exhaust particulate sensor is used to diagnose this failure. This code sets when the ECM detects that the particulate filter has degraded beyond a calibrated threshold.
P226D code will set if the properly functioning system detects that the DPF is missing. The exhaust pressure differential sensor is used to diagnose this failure. This code sets when the ECM detects that the pressure difference over the DPF is less than a set threshold.
P244A code will set if the exhaust pressure differential sensor lines are disconnected or blocked. The code sets when the ECM detects the diesel particulate filter exhaust differential pressure sensor is lower than the minimum threshold.
A properly functioning diesel particulate filter should remove most if not all soot particles from the exhaust stream. The following test should NOT be performed immediately after a regeneration because of the reduced filtration efficiency of the DPF without any soot in it.
The purpose of this test is to aid in diagnosing a DPF that has failed internally.


Service Procedure​



Note:Assistance may be required to perform the exhaust soot flow test.

With assistance, the engine will need to rev to Wide Open Throttle 3 consecutive times with a cheese cloth, or equivalent, over the tail pipe.

  • A failed exhaust soot flow test will show excessive soot particulates on the cheese cloth or equivalent. Refer to the graphic above.
  • A passing exhaust soot flow test will show no, or very minimal, signs of soot particulates.
If the vehicle set P2002, P226D or P244A and SI diagnostics leads to DPF replacement, use the cheese cloth test to confirm if the DPF needs to be replaced.

Correction​

The technician should follow SI diagnostics. If no cause for the concern is found or during diagnosis a leak check is required, power smoke diagnostic leak detector GE-52250 can be very helpful in locating leaks.

GE-52250 is not currently an essential tool but it is available through the GM Tool Loaner Program.

Bulletin 16-NA-158 outlines the dealer special tool loan program.

GE-52250 is shown below.

Note:The adapters may vary as the tool evolves.

Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions, and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, DO NOT assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition.

Oh boy, that's a lot of info. Thanks guys.
Doing a Google, it looks like this is a common problem with these trucks. Enough so that I found two tsbs outlining extending the emissions warranty out to cover them.

I'm guessing that the 2002 may be a regen got interrupted, or that soot load got to the point a normal regen couldn't clear it. The other codes are bc the dpf can't regen? I've read it may need a service regen to clear it.
Could even be the dpf somehow got a crack in it. How? Who knows.
Looking thru the PID list in EFILive, I couldn't figure out which one measured soot, so I don't know that info.

New dpf is roughly $1500-2000, which coincidentally is what it costs to relieve the truck of it and never worry about it again.

The 2002 is set in permanent because the truck has not been able to run the regen needed to clear it. That’s due to your particulate matter sensor issue.

Your future work on the truck will certainly cure the problem

Future parts came in today. Now to attempt to schedule a nice weekend to do some repairs.

Found this service bulletin: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2019/MC-10163244-9999.pdf
and this one (which looks similar): file:///C:/Users/theba/Downloads/19-NA-124.pdf

Oh yeah, almost forgot. Few weeks ago, it threw a P20B9, Reductant Heater A control circuit open, which brought up the "99 miles to 65mph" countdown.
I ended up tracing that one back to the plug connections on the heater/pump being wet from the car wash. The cover over the pump electricals was not cinched down, which told me that PO had had issues with the heater.

To continue this:

Needless to say this truck has been a pain. Had DPF sensor issue, again. Sensor replaced under GM 12mo part warranty.
But its also currently in DEF derate <65mph. Needed DEF module and pump assy. Far too cold to do any automotive work outside in the garage, even with the heater running.

Questions for those who've worked on DEF systems:

Do you HAVE to replace the feed line and injector when you replace the pump?
Can you clear the line and injector with compressed air?
Is there a special procedure to follow after replacing the pump, or is it fill with DEF and go?

I've only worked on my uncle's LML, but any time we needed to replace any sensors or parts and clear any codes related to the DEF system, we always needed to run the reductant quality teat woth a bidirectional scanner to clear the codes. I could never get my V2 to do it, so we have to barrow a cousin's Autel.

I assume driving it should reset the codes too, but with a countdown, it could potentially take more miles then you have left

What's your consideration on a weight loss program for the truck? Is the engine just never going to be powerful enough? Some other issue?
