P0428 – No. 2 Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor (catalyst temperature) Circuit High Input Euro5b MMC L200 IV

 Posted by  Posted on September 28, 2020

OPERATION

  • A power voltage of 5 V is applied to the No. 2 exhaust gas temperature sensor (catalyst temperature) output terminal (terminal No. 1) from the engine-ECU (terminal No. 59).
  • The power voltage is earthed to the engine-ECU (terminal No. 83) from the No. 2 exhaust gas temperature sensor (catalyst temperature) (terminal No. 2).

    • FUNCTION

  • The No. 2 exhaust gas temperature sensor (catalyst temperature) converts the catalyst temperature into a voltage and inputs the voltage signal to the engine-ECU.
  • Engine-ECU uses this voltage for DPF regeneration control.
  • The No. 2 exhaust gas temperature sensor (catalyst temperature) is a kind of resistor, which has characteristics to reduce its resistance as the catalyst temperature rises. Therefore, the sensor output voltage varies with the catalyst temperature, and becomes lower as the catalyst temperature rises.

    • TROUBLE JUDGMENT

  • Battery positive voltage is 8 – 16 V.
  • 2 seconds later after the ignition switch has been in “ON” position or the engine has started up.
  • Vehicle speed is 20 km/h or higher.
  • The No. 2 exhaust gas temperature sensor (catalyst temperature) output voltage is 4.95 V or more.

    • PROBABLE CAUSES

  • Failed No. 2 exhaust gas temperature sensor (catalyst temperature)
  • Open circuit or harness damage in No. 2 exhaust gas temperature sensor (catalyst temperature) circuit or loose connector contact
  • Failed engine-ECU
