PM SENSOR [SKYACTIV-D 2.2]
id0140z7011200
Purpose, Function
• The PM sensor detects PM which could not be collected by the diesel particulate filter, and inputs the current to the dosing control unit via a CAN signal.
Construction
• The gas detection area (probe) of the PM sensor is installed to the rear of the SCR converter.
• The PM sensor (control unit) of the PM sensor is secured to the bracket under the floor.
• The PM sensor (control unit) is integrated with the probe and therefore cannot be disconnected.
Operation
• The current changes by absorbing soot into the sensor element surface and the PM sensor detects the soot amount.
After engine start and before start of measurement:
-
• It operates the heater at low temperature and waits (Because damage may occur if element contacts water)
Before measurement start
-
Note
-
• It starts to measure when a measurement signal is input by the dosing control unit.
-
• It operates the heater and burns the soot on the sensor element surface to detect soot.
During measurement:
-
• It does not operate the heater during measurement, but after the measurement is completed, it operates it at low temperature again.
Fail-safe
• Not applicable.
