This Captiva has created many sleepless nights. The #1 exhaust temperature sensor data does not make sense. Is the sensor faulty? Are the data readings realistic? Are they ‘rational’?
What tests can be done to isolate the fault and create a logical diagnostic path to find the solution? Follow along and find the answers.

Im a bit confused, why was it back in the shop for, if everything was working correctly and it was only the Gscan showing a bad reading? I know you did a forced regen, but why was that needed when the Captiva was doing passive regens? cheers

Sorry for the confusion. Did you watch the entire video? It was in for a service & after I had previously done the DPF clean, I wanted to make sure I had sorted all the faults, so the DPF didn't block again, so I chased down that fault code. As stated at the end, it was the GScan that needed updating. The update sorted that stupid temp sensor that threw me off the track. Lesson? Make sure any equipment is updated, otherwise you might end up down a rabbit hole!

Hi Max It is 2013 Captiva 2.2 L diesel The problem was the it was oil inside of DPF, and melted down all inside, i ended up change DPF and sensor the side on, all ok now I have Snap on scanner that you used on the video

@@Shohboz80 So do you still have the code? Which sensor did you replace? #1 or #2? Have you found out why there was oil in the DPF? Otherwise, you might find the DPF fail again. Are there any other codes? Is the turbo OK? Any oil in the impeller or turbine housing? Here is a video that might help you to diagnose any further faults. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oq-hetCWv7Ldpas.html

Hey David, What fault codes do you have? What scan tool are you using? Has it had all it's updates? That's the issue I had with the GScan. Sorry, I didn't have to remove the sensor - it didn't look like fun. Let us know how you go with it

@@davidclarke918 Just a suggestion. Before you replace the sensor, have you checked the actual possible causes for the codes? It could include a loose connection or broken wire. I would check those things first. www.obd-codes.com/p0546 www.obd-codes.com/p2081

@@davidclarke918 I have found after some further research, that these do suffer from a poor terminal connection on the harness side of the sensor. Sorry, I haven't replaced a sensor, so can't tell you what needs to be removed to access them.

It's hard to identify when you get so many error codes at same time. P2428, p200a, p0029, p0546 and p2080. The shop said that should start taking the intake manifold off and replace which would cost 1800 for the part plus 800 for the labour. They just throw the price with no diagnostic. Maybe will fix, but who knows. It's hard to believe when they take 2 weeks and the only thing they made was clean the intake manifold map sensor and said that it was fixed, asking to drive for 3 days and check if the error will happen again. I left the shop, plug the obd2 and they only cleared the errors, but already had p0546 back after few metres.

Probably I am going to do it by myself, but I really would like to have someone experienced in the car to diagnose it charging for diagnose costs. Many shops nowadays only want to change oil, filter, spark plugs,...
