Frequently asked questions about P2002
Does P2002 mean the diesel particulate filter is blocked?
No, and this is the most common confusion. Blockage has codes of its own: P2002 says the filter is not trapping particulate as it should, which is the opposite problem and is not solved by a regeneration.
Why does it appear together with P2000?
P2000 concerns the NOx filter. The two codes together mean the exhaust line has to be looked at as a whole, not one component at a time.
The fault returns after clearing: is that normal?
Yes, and it tells you the fault is current rather than left over from earlier work. On this engine it does not clear itself.
