How do I fix code P20EE?
So here are some ways with which you can correct this issue:
- Diesel Exhaust Fluid Heater replacement.
- Diesel Particulate Filter replacement.
- Exhaust System replacement.
- Faulty Reductant Injection valve replacement.
- Faulty wiring and connector issue.
- PCM repair and reprogramming.
What does code P20EE mean?
OBD II fault code P20EE is a generic code that is defined as “SCR NOx Catalyst Efficiency Below Threshold Bank 1”, and is set when the PCM (Powertrain Control Module) detects that the catalytic converter on Bank 1 is operating below an acceptable or allowable minimum efficiency threshold.
Can you drive with a P20EE code?
But, to answer your question, no, it won’t hurt to drive it with the P20EE code, that code won’t put it into shutdown mode. And, yes, I suggest filling the tank with DEF. Get it at a local truck stop if you can, always fresh at high volume locations.
How big is VW Touareg AdBlue tank?
12L
The Volkswagen VW Touareg has an AdBlue filler cap located under the spare tyre in the boot. The capacity is 12L. This gives the veicle a range of 6000 Miles depending on personal Driving style.
Why do diesel engines need def?
DEF, also known as AdBlue or Blue DEF, is an elixir that’s necessary to make sure that what exits a diesel vehicle’s tailpipe is as sweet as an Alpine breeze. Those two compounds then react with oxygen and detrimental nitrogen oxides inside the vehicle’s selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalyst.
What kind of emissions does a Volkswagen Touareg have?
The EPA and CARB determined that the Volkswagen Touareg vehicles equipped with a 3.0L 6-cylinder TDI engine did not comply with these laws. The emissions control systems on the vehicles allowed emissions to exceed legal limits during typical driving conditions.
What are the symptoms of a p20ee trouble code?
Symptoms of a P20EE trouble code may include: Excessive black smoke from vehicle exhaust Diminished engine performance Reduction in fuel efficiency Other stored SCR and emission related codes What are some of the common causes of the code? Causes for this code may include: Defective O2, NOx, or temperature sensor Incorrect or insufficient DEF fluid
Why is my ODB scanner showing code p20ee?
The trouble light on my 2011 Touareg TDI came on and my ODB scanner is showing code P20EE which is the NOx sensor. From what I’ve read the problem is either the NOx sensor reading incorrectly or the diesel exhaust fluid pump not pumping correctly.
When is a p20ee stored in a diesel engine?
When a P20EE is stored in a diesel powered, OBD-II equipped vehicle, it means that the powertrain control module has detected that catalyst efficiency is below threshold for a certain engine bank. This particular code applies to the downstream catalytic converter (or NOx trap) for engine bank one.
