The light on your particle filter lights up and you do not know what the problem is. The particle filter is particularly found on cars Diesel, even though we find them more and more on gasoline cars. Before attempting repairs on the Kia Stonic, it remains crucial to know where the problem came from. How does a particle filter work? Why does the light go on? What are the most common concerns? In this text, we will go around the subject. indicator-fap-Kia-Stonic

What is a FAP for on your Kia Stonic

As its name suggests, it is used to purify microscopic particles toxiques of your engine. These kinds of molecules are so tiny that they easily fit through our body. For information, it's Peugeot who invented the particulate filter. The catalyst's role is to reduce the amount of particles emitted by the vehicle, while the FAP picks up the rest. It is therefore fundamental to have a FAP in good working condition in case you no longer want the Kia Stonic to pollute.

Why the FAP indicator lights on your Kia Stonic

The FAP on your Kia Stonic is clogged

Indeed, it is the most frequent problem. No worries, the FAP gets dirty the more time passes. Particles collect and hinder the evacuation of your exhaust gases. In general, the FAP on the Kia Stonic can be cleaned on its own and thus make the clumps disappear. However, if it is particularly damaged it is essential to change it.

An electronic problem

The problem with these LEDs is that you are by no means sure that there is a problem. Indeed, it sometimes appears that a warning light is triggered while the Kia Stonic is working perfectly. The FAP has electronic sensors which transmit a warning towards the indicator. If these sounders do not prank well while your FAP is working perfectly, it is possible that the witness will go off.

What to do if the FAP indicator on your Kia Stonic lights up?

Above all, it is perfectly forbidden to remove the fap on your Kia Stonic! This is considered an offense. You should check the sounders to see if they are working properly. Assumed that these work well, the problem comes from the Particle filter. If it turns out to be filthy, you can unclog it by driving on a diet for about ten minutes. Do not accelerate too much either, it may damage the car. We advise you to drive at 3000 revolutions minutes. The heat of the vehicle can therefore burn off this encrusted dirt, and therefore release your DPF. If this technique still does not work, it should be replaced.

Conclusion:

A damaged fap will then pollute as well as reduce acceleration. It is therefore essential to replace it. Leave us a comment if this file has ever served you. See you soon !
