Year of Manufacture *: 2007 Engine Size and Code *: 1.9 ( Optional ) Scanner Used: launch x432 ( Optional) Fault Codes: p1206 permenant and p0380 history
Hi my boss has bought this sx4 from auction and sold it. It had eml on and low power when it arrived back. i cleared the codes then someone bought it so it went for mot, on the way back the eml lit with loss of power.
i plugged launch in to find p1206 (0,0,12,6),please refer to manual.(current)
p0380 glow plug circuit (history)
i believe the first code is dpf related can anyone confirm this?
I then lifted the engine cover off to check the operation of the egr to find it is like brand new!? Next move was to take a look at the dpf so i lifted the car to find a ring of weld in front and behind the dpf on the wide part. alarm bells are now really ringing. Then i removed the 2 bolt flange at the rear of the dpf and got a look inside to find the dpf complete. i believe it must have been cut open to pressure wash??
this is as far as i have got. tomorrow i plan to look into the live data. this post is as much to be sure of the code p1206 as i cant get the suzuki code from a reliable source i believe eobd says #6 misfire??
