E172 High Air Filter Restriction

Usage:

C4.4 CF7
Conditions Which Generate This Code:

This event code will only be generated if the switch for the air filter restriction is installed and the customer programmable feature is enabled.

The Electronic Control Module (ECM) detects a fault with the air flow. If the air flow has been restricted for more than thirty seconds, the ECM will generate this code.

Note: This code is generated only when the engine is running. This event code will become inactive when the restriction decreases for more than 5 seconds.

System Response:

The event code will be logged.

The warning light on the control panel will flash.

Possible Performance Effect:

E172-1

A blocked filter may cause the engine to experience symptoms such as low power.

Troubleshooting:

Test Step 1.

The event code may represent a fault with the electronic system. This event code normally indicates high air filter restriction. Refer to Testing and Adjusting , "Air Inlet and Exhaust System - Inspect".

Results:

  • OK - STOP
