The indicator light on your particle filter trips and you do not know what caused the malfunction. The particle filter is mainly found for cars Diesel, even if they are now found for petrol cars. Before starting any repairs for your Lancia Delta 2, it is essential to know where this concern comes from. How does a FAP work? Why does the light go on? What can be the most common problems? In this article, we will cover the subject. 
What is a FAP for on your Lancia Delta 2
As its name presages, its role is to purify microscopic molecules toxiques of your car. These particles are so tiny that they can easily enter our body. Note that this is Peugeot who made this FAP. The catalyst is used to reduce the level of molecules generated from the engine block, and the FAP collects the excess. It therefore seems essential to have a FAP in good condition if you no longer want your Lancia Delta 2 to pollute.
Why the FAP indicator light on your Lancia Delta 2
The filter in your Lancia Delta 2 is blocked
This remains the most usual dysfunction. In fact, your FAP clogs over time. The molecules pile up and prevent the circulation of exhaust gases. Ordinarily, the FAP in your Lancia Delta 2 must clean itself and thus expel this waste. However, if it is particularly damaged it is essential to replace it with a new one.
An electronic problem
The problem with the LEDs is that you are in no way sure that there is a malfunction. Undeniably, it sometimes happens that an indicator light is lit while your Lancia Delta 2 is working without problems. Your FAP has several electronic sensors which transmit a message to the dashboard. If the sensors ever malfunction while the FAP is working properly, it is plausible that the warning light comes on.
What to do if the FAP indicator on your Lancia Delta 2 lights up?
First of all, it is totally forbidden to remove the fap on your vehicle! It is punishable by law. You will be able to monitor the sounders to be able to check if they work well. If they themselves work well, the problem comes from the FAP. If it turns out to be filthy, you can clean it up by going on a diet for about 10 minutes. Do not accelerate too much either, the process can damage the vehicle. We advise you to drive to 3000 rpm. The heat of the vehicle should therefore carbonize the stored dirt, and thus clean the FAP. If ever such a method really does not work, it must be replaced.
Conclusion:
A damaged fap will then pollute but also cause loss of power. It is therefore very important to take care of it. Post a comment if our file has ever served you. Enjoy the road!
