Imagine driving only 100 miles, and that pesky engine management light's back on. That's exactly the challenge faced with this Kia Sorento after multiple DPF Cleans and sensors were fitted. Let’s uncover what was behind this issue and see what was done. Getting to Know the Problem When a car keeps showing an engine light, it’s like it’s trying to say, “Help me!”. For this 2019 Kia Sorento with a 2.2 engine, that plea for help was tied to the Catalyst’s efficiency – a P20EE error, to be exact. It had been in and out of garages, leaving mechanics scratching their heads. Reading the Vehicle's Minds In the world of cars, sometimes you just need a bit of tech magic. SmartSafe ST08 is the tool we turned to. It checks the vehicle’s health, and we quickly spotted a Catalyst efficiency issue. But why was it happening? We explored a data stream to get more clues. The front and rear nitrogen oxides (NOx) values got our attention: 135 at the front but 180 at the rear. This hint suggested something odd was going on with the emissions system. A Smudge on the Tailpipe Visual clues can reveal what diagnostic tools miss. The Sorento's tailpipe had black soot – a big no-no for Euro 6 vehicles. This soot was a likely indication of a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) failure. Usually, the DPF traps such particles, keeping tailpipes clean. After some test driving, we noted that while dashboard lights turned off temporarily, the core issue lingered. The real culprit might be a damaged DPF letting soot reach the Catalyst. Understanding the Exhaust Puzzle During our checks, thoughts wandered to why some vehicles place the Catalyst before the DPF. This approach seems counter-intuitive since it exposes the Catalyst to more soot, potentially clogging it quicker. We also dived into live data and testing with different diagnostic tools to validate our findings. Despite tools confirming issues, true understanding comes from hands-on checks and knowing where problems typically lie. Conclusion: What's Next for the Sorento? For our Sorento, a new DPF and possibly a Catalyst seemed necessary. The build-up of soot was the tell-tale sign. It reiterated a valuable lesson: sometimes, what seems like a high-tech problem needs a low-tech resolution. Remember – don't rush for expensive parts without a bit of investigative work.
