DTC Descriptor

DTC P10D0
- Reductant Injector Temperature - Exhaust Gas Temperature 2 Correlation

Typical Scan Tool Data






Circuit/System Description

The exhaust gas temperature sensors are variable resistors that measure the temperature of the exhaust gas at the inlet and outlet of the diesel oxidation catalyst as well as the inlet and outlet of the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). The Engine Control Module (ECM) supplies a bias 5-volt signal to the exhaust gas temperature sensor signal circuit, and supplies a ground to the low reference circuit. The exhaust gas temperature information is used by the ECM during the particulate filter cleaning process.

Conditions for Running the DTC

* The ignition has been OFF for greater than 8 hours.

* Reductant dosing has not been requested by the ECM.

* The engine is running for less than 10 s.

* The ambient air temperature is greater than -60°C (-76°F)

* Battery voltage is greater than 11 V

* DTC P10D0 runs once per key cycle when the above conditions are met.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

An implausible injector coil temperature is detected by comparing the coil temperature with the EGT sensor 2 as a reference temperature. This is done after a sufficient engine off time and before the coil has been energized. If the absolute difference between the coil and reference temperature is greater than a calibrated threshold, then P10D0 is set.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

DTC P10D0 is a Type B DTC

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

DTC P10D0 is a Type B DTC

Diagnostic Aids

A slight to moderate resistance in either the signal or low reference circuits, can widen the spread between the exhaust gas temperature sensors and the reductant injector, and cause the DTC to set.

Circuit/System Verification

Note: Determine the ambient temperature by using an accurate thermometer.

1. Ignition OFF for greater than 8 hours.

2. Observe the scan tool EGT Sensor 2 parameter and compare it to the ambient temperature. The reading for EGT 2 should be within 30°C (54°F) of the ambient temperature.

If not within the specified range
Refer to Circuit/System Testing.

If within the specified range

3. Ignition ON

4. Observe the scan tool EGT Sensor 2 parameter. The reading should be between -40-999°C (-40-1,830°F) depending on the current ambient temperature and the vehicle operating conditions

If not within the specified range
Refer to Circuit/System Testing.

If within the specified range

5. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.

6. Verify a DTC does not set

If any DTCs set
Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle for further diagnosis.

If no DTCs set

7. All OK

Circuit/System Testing

Note: Perform the Repair Verification after completing the Circuit/System Testing.

1. Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B131 EGT 2 sensor. It may take up to 2 minutes for all vehicle systems to power down.

2. Test for less than 5 ohms between the low reference circuit terminal B and ground.

If 5 ohms or greater

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K20 engine control module.

2. Test for less than 2 ohms in the low reference circuit end to end.

If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.

If less than 2 ohms, replace the K20 engine control module.

If less than 5 ohms

3. Ignition ON.

4. Verify the scan tool EGT 2 sensor parameter is greater than 998°C (1828°F).

If 998°C (1828°F) or less

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K20 engine control module.

2. Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit terminal A and ground.

If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.

If infinite resistance, replace the K20 engine control module.

If greater than 998°C (1828°F)

5. Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal A and the low reference circuit terminal B.

6. Verify the scan tool EGT Sensor 2 parameter is less than -35°C (-31°F).

If -35°C (-31°F) or greater

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the K20 engine control module, ignition ON.

2. Test for less than 1 V between the signal circuit and ground.

If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.

If less than 1 V

3. Ignition OFF

4. Test for less than 2 ohms in the signal circuit end to end.

If 2 ohms or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.

If less than 2 ohms, replace the K20 engine control module.

If less than -35°C (-31°F)

Note: Perform the Repair Verification after completing the Circuit/System Testing.

7. Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the harness connector at theQ61 emission reduction fluid injector. It may take up to 2 minutes for all vehicle systems to power down.

8. Test for less than 15 ohms between the low reference circuit terminal 1 and the control circuit terminal 2.

If 15 ohms or greater
Replace the Emission Reduction Fluid Injector Replacement Service and Repair emission reduction fluid injector

If less than 15 ohms

9. Test or replace the B131 Exhaust Gas Temperature sensor 2.

Component Testing

Note: The J 25070 Heat Gun 500-750°F may be used to evaluate the sensor under high temperature conditions.



1. Ignition OFF, remove the B131 EGT sensor 2 while leaving the harness connector connected.
