Egr fault mass flow to high


Recommended Posts

So I've got a 2012 CXU613 489k miles that I'm at a loss over. A month ago this truck rolls in with egr mass flow too high, won't complete a regen. I replaced the egr valve after testing, weak return spring. Code clears, return to service. 2 weeks later its back, same code. Dpf at 150% soot. Inspection of dpf shows high backpressure and a Crack in the dpf outlet, full of crystallized def. Replaced parts, cleaned dpf, run regen. Regen kicks out in 10 minutes, low temp. I replaced the 7th injector and the fuel/air lines, changed filter dryer cartridge that was saturated. Run regen, fails. Soot level goes down 20% and temps got the 850. Run diag on the vgt actuator, that sticks in the open position. Replaced vgt actuator, Run regen. Regen temps hit 930, then 12 minutes in it kicks out. Now I start another regen, and look at the egr info, my egr dp is jumping up, temps going into -°. Chase wiring, all clear, no shorts, broken, high resistance, nothing. I'm at a loss here, about to send the truck to mack because as far as I can tell it needs an ECM

 

Any suggestions?

Put a 1/4” air line Tee in the air line going to the AHI . Hook a good air pressure gauge to the Tee . Start regen and during regen it should be right at around 31-33 psi. This is very important. Not changing the air dryer filter causes the regulator to the AHI to fail and cause failed regens.

All that is brandy new. I cleaned the air lines back the frame manifold, and replaced the steel one behind the head. Regulator and solenoid work and makes 30# when commaded on, no air leaks. New 2 way check tee on the 7th injector. Brand new filter dryer cartridge and valve. I do all that whenever I find debris in the tee screen.

For AHI stuck closed or stuck open fault code . We would start with flow testing the 7th injector and replace it if not in specs. Hardly anyone outside of dealers have the flow testing kit  so replacement is the normal routine. Remember there are 3 and now possibly 4 different 7th injectors on Mack’s /Volvo engines now. Testing the air to the AHI as I mentioned above and replacement of the air drier filter are  must . The air pressure regulator for the AHI is usually mounted on the bracket the air drier is on .

Oh . So you have the early big 7th injector with the coolant lines ?

Only if i unplug my scanner and re connect after initiation. Thats what i did today, im getting spikes in that reading, as well as non plausible temp readings in the egr. Happening KOEO too. Checked the harness for oil contamination but all dry at the EECM. I really think there's a controller short

I just went down this same road with a 2012 Volvo D13 last week. Started with EGR flow codes. Updated to the newest EGR differential sensor and venturie pipe. It’s a kit that comes with everything you need. After doing this the EGR codes went away but the failed EGR diff sensor caused EGR valve to stay open more than it should and caused over sooting of the DPF filter. So I started a regen and couldn’t get the center T2 DPF temp over 750. Borrowed a flow  tester and 7th injector had really low flow . Started at 2 LPM ( liter per minute) flow , cleaned and re-tested and had 3 LPM . Spec is 4-8 LPM at 30psi . So replace the 7th injector ( no fun on the big ones, a super thin 7/8” wrench is a must) . Started a regen and temps slowly and I mean super slowly got to 880 after about 25 minutes. The DPF differential pressure was around  .8psi  and slowly dropping to about .5 psi at end of regen. Usually the regen temps shoot up pretty quickly on the T2 when the fuel starts dosing. To make it right I finally had to pull the filter and have it cleaned and went ahead and had the top part ( catalyst) cleaned too. After that the temps rose quickly and my DPF differential pressure only got to .3 psi at it’s highest.

If your having EGR temp sensor readings that are erratic. I believe there is a service bulletin on the pins in the harness causing faults. I’ll see if I can find it . 

Yea, if they are going into the negatives I think that’s a good place to start. Just odd he’s not seeing any fault codes.
