Mitsubishi L200. Dpf service required & P252F oil level too high

[@mrblonde2013]

These also need a small injector quantity relearn every 20k. There is a tsb for that.

[@kennedysgarage3281]

Very handy to know, cheers mate 👍👍

[@markobrien5551]

On the 2015 ish outlanders this is also a issue, the autel 909 struggles as their is 3 resets for distance, mileage and driver style on the service reset but the autel will only reset 2 out of the 3, if you use autocom it resets all 3 and gets the DPF light off. 👍

Oooh, good man. All the Mitsubishi’s can be a bit awkward but that’s excellent information to have 🙏🙏 Thanks mark

Thanks mate from Australia I say thank you. Very helpful video.

[@kennedysgarage3281]

You are most welcome and it is fantastic to have you watching all the way from Australia, thank you very much too 🙏🙏

[@Davidjohnson-jk1wx]

Noone can explain the reason for the fault or a permanent fix though. I've been into three various mechanics resetting the code, performing a forced regen and changing the oil at a cost of $160 to $200 a turn and on ewch occasion about 5000kms apart. Why is it doing it, and how do we stop it (outside a permanent dpf delete)?

[@johnsykes706]

Have you experienced slightly rough running and loss of acceleration/power and increased fuel consumption? If so look at the intercooler pipes for splits, will run rich due to insufficient air and therefore need constant regenerative burns.

[@justinpaffvett3367]

Cheers for that mate I dropped the oil on mine myself and it wouldn't go away. It was burning my fu@king head out thanks for sharing that with me my little Irish mate 👍

great advice, used my 906 to clear the same fault P252F on an outlander today, job done!

Well done mate, it can be a little hard to find this reset so the video is handy 🙏🙏

[@aladinsane68]

Hi ive been trying to do an 18 plate l200 today dpf light flashing, also with the same fault code and wouldn't erase, dipped oil and it was reading high so sucked some out and it was between the 2 marks on dipstick so thought all good, tried a forced Regen but still would not shift code, i did get into that drop-down menu you were on but not sure if i did the oil exchange service but i did do the dpf exchange service with no luck, i have the maxisys ms 906, I'll contact the owner and fingers crossed it'll work

[@kennedysgarage3281]

I’m not aware if the MS906 has the feature or function. Fingers crossed it has all worked out for you 🤞🤞🤞

[@kevinpalmer7452]

Very useful information Peter thank you 🙏

[@kennedysgarage3281]

My lads got bet on it Kevin & I spent around 30 minutes messing with the scantool before figuring it out. So hopefully it will help someone 🤞🤞

[@vulkusbanks5985]

On the earlier Mitsubishi 4N14 engines you have to go in to special functions and reset the oil level to zero. Looks like they've simplified it a bit, but still a pain in the butt.

[@kennedysgarage3281]

Mitsubishi in general can be a pain in the bottom. Lots of scantools struggle on them 🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

[@duncanevenson4621]

The live data list I find is amazing on the Mitsubishi software. It gives you data in the last five Regen attempts, eg speed of vehicle, length of Regen, what triggered the Regen. So helpful to diagnosis why the fault occurred.

[@kennedysgarage3281]

@@duncanevenson4621 that is very handy information to have when diagnosing faults 💪💪

[@chriscullen8170]

Would you recommend changing the oil filter also or just dump the contaminated oil and put new into it?

[@seanhamilton4175]

Just do a normal oil and filter change at the correct intervals and do this (oil dilution reset) every time

[@ConcernedCitizen742]

Hey pal what model Autel scanner did you use for this job,? Thanks

[@ConcernedCitizen742]

Never mind, you said it at end of video hahaha

[@kennedysgarage3281]

The Autel MS909, I find it a really good scantool. But funny enough my work colleague has a TopDon scantool and I’m really bad on it & he is really bad on my Autel 😂😂😂😂 You just get familiar with what you use everyday 😊

[@DPF254K]

Our experience with oil level too high is due to excess diesel injected during active regeneration. The excess unburnt diesel finds its way into the oil sump hence contaminating and raising the oil level. The best thing to do is replace the oil and perform an oil service reset. Unless you do this, the error code will pop up again.

[@kennedysgarage3281]

You are exactly correct on the reasoning for oil dilution, cause and effect. This isn’t understood by a lot of mechanics 🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

[@chriscullen8170]

Would you recommend changing the oil filter also or just dump the contaminated oil and put new into it?

[@DPF254K]

@@chriscullen8170 You should change the oil filter also since some of the contaminated oil remains trapped in it.

[@ProxyPacIT]

​@kennedysgarage3281 I serviced my l200 2018 about 1100km ago, and actually forgot to reset the light and the oil level wasn't overfilled so this might be the reason why the dpf light came on

[@kennedysgarage3281]

@@ProxyPacIT fingers crossed mate 🤞🤞

[@funkysaurus]

To elaborate. The cause is diesel fuel dilution in the oil. The ECU calculates how much diesel has been fed in to the DPF system to run burns. If enough burns fail to complete, that diesel contaminates the oil. The ECU works off it's calculation, not an actual level gauge. It's also a common issues that occurs when turbo hoses develop a leak. There are good apps designed to run through bluetooth OBD dongles specially made for this fault.

Hi mate i don’t suppose you know if the Autel MK808S will have the initialization function?

[@kennedysgarage3281]

@@pangotāne unfortunately I do not know 😔

[@pangotāne]

@@kennedysgarage3281 I came across a Pajero with this issue today, so I tried to start a forced regen with my mk808s which I have only just purchased but it wasn’t working. I then read on why I wouldn’t and it said it wouldn’t start with codes being present so I scanned it which I know I should have done in the first place and it come up with the exact same code so I checked the oil and it was well over, I drained out over 4l ! I thought maybe her husband over filled it or something which is so common for people to do, but upon reading this comment section I have thankfully learnt that it is most probably excess fuel and I should probably change this ladies oil asap! 😅 hoping the mk808s has the function

Hi , what model Autel are you using ?

[@kennedysgarage3281]

It is the Autel MS909, I actually really like it and it is my go to scantool. They are around 4k but we’ll worth it I think.

[@scottdoney6926]

Make sure you guy’s do a small quantity relearn on these oil full codes it is the cause of the problem TSB

[@kennedysgarage3281]

Oooh, very good to know. Cheers Scott 🙏🙏

[@ryanwainwright1829]

After you reset the oil level and delete the code will this enable the car to do a regen whilst driving?

No unfortunately not, you have to reset the dpd data as in this video 😞😞
