The SureTrack community proved its strength yet again when a member posted about a 2010 Volvo XC90 in their shop. The vehicle had a check engine light illuminated and was experiencing a loss of power, much to the customer’s frustration. Eager to resolve the problem, the technician posted the question to the community, and with the help of fellow knowledgeable members and the use of a multi-meter on a Snap-on scan, they were able to identify the root cause and solve the issue quickly.<\/p>\n

Vehicle<\/strong>
\n2010 Volvo XC90 2.4 Diesel<\/p>\n

Title<\/strong>
\n2B10, Engine lacks power, Replaced Diesel Particulate Filter Temperature Sensor<\/p>\n

Complaint<\/strong>
\nThe customer states the engine lacks power and the engine light is on.<\/p>\n

Cause<\/strong>
\nConfirmed the customer\u2019s complaint and found the engine lacked power and the check engine light was on. Connected a scan tool and found code 2B10 \u2013 Particulate Filter Temperature Sensor \u2013 Faulty Signal. With the vehicle at operating temperature, viewed scan tool live data. Found that the diesel particulate filter temperature sensor data was erratic. Disconnected the diesel particulate filter temperature sensor connector. Key on engine off used a multi-meter to check for voltage at the connector. Found that voltage was present. Viewed scan tool live data while the diesel particulate filter temperature sensor was disconnected and found it went to a default value. Measured the resistance of the diesel particulate filter temperature sensor with a multi-meter and found that it was not within manufactures specifications. These tests verified that the diesel particulate filter temperature sensor was faulty.<\/p>\n

Correction<\/strong>
\nReplaced the diesel particulate filter temperature sensor and verified the vehicle operated properly. The customer\u2019s concerns did not return.<\/p>\n
