Your FAP indicator light goes off and you don't know where the problem is coming from. The FAP is present mainly for cars Diesel, even if we find them now for petrol cars. Before starting repairs for this Renault Kangoo, it is still necessary to know what caused this problem. What is the role of a FAP? Why does the light go off? What can be the most frequent dysfunctions? In this text, we will go around the subject. 
What is a FAP for on your Renault Kangoo
As its designation suggests, it is used to purify microscopic molecules harmful of your engine. These kinds of molecules are so tiny that they can easily enter your body. Note that this is Peugeot who made this FAP. The catalyst is used to reduce the quantity of molecules emitted from the engine, while the particle filter collects the surplus. It remains essential to have a particulate filter in good working condition in case you do not want this Renault Kangoo to contaminate the air you breathe.
Why the FAP indicator light on your Renault Kangoo
The FAP of your Renault Kangoo is clogged
This remains the most recurring concern. No worries, a particle filter becomes clogged the more time passes. The molecules collect and prevent the circulation of these exhaust gases. A priori, the particulate filter of this Renault Kangoo must be automatically cleaned and therefore remove this soot. However, if it is too old it is essential to replace it with a new one.
An electronic problem
The problem with these lights is that you can never be sure of the problem. Indeed, it frequently happens that an indicator light goes off while this Renault Kangoo works perfectly. The particle filter has a few electronic probes which send a signal to the indicator. If these probes ever have a problem while your particle filter is working perfectly, it is possible that the indicator light will come on.
What to do if the FAP indicator on your Renault Kangoo lights up?
Above all, it is completely prohibited to remove the fap from your Renault Kangoo! It is considered an offense. You will need to check the probes to see if they work well. Assumed that they themselves work correctly, the problem comes from the Particle filter. If it turns out to be dirty, you can clean it by driving on a diet for 10 to 15 minutes. Do not accelerate too much either, the process may damage the engine. We advise you to drive at 3000 rpm. The engine temperature will actually burn this stored soot, and therefore release this particulate filter. If such a technique does not work well, you will need to have it changed.
Conclusion:
Your particle filter in poor condition should pollute as well as make you lose power. It is therefore essential to replace it. Leave a comment if our file has ever been useful. Good walk !
