The FAP warning light goes off and you don't know what the problem is. The FAP is particularly found on vehicles Diesel, even if they are now found on petrol vehicles. Just before you get into repairs on this Opel Omega 2, it is important to understand where the problem comes from. What is the role of a particle filter? Why does the indicator light go off? What can be the most common problems? During this dossier, we will go around the subject. 
What is a FAP used for on your Opel Omega 2
As its name suggests, it is used to filter microscopic particles toxiques of the engine block. The molecules are so small that they can easily penetrate through your body. For information, it's Peugeot who developed the particulate filter. Your catalyst has the role of reducing the quantity of particles produced by the engine, while the FAP collects the waste. It therefore seems necessary to have an operational particle filter if you no longer want this Opel Omega 2 to contaminate the air you breathe.
Why the FAP indicator lights on your Opel Omega 2
The FAP of your Opel Omega 2 is clogged
Here is the most recurring concern. No wonder, the FAP becomes blocked over time. Particles collect and hinder the flow of exhaust gases. A priori, the FAP in this Opel Omega 2 is supposed to be cleaned automatically and thus make this waste disappear. However, if it is too old it will have to be changed.
An electronic problem
The problem with the LEDs is that you are by no means certain that there is a concern. In fact, it often happens that an indicator light comes on while this Opel Omega 2 turns properly. The FAP has a few electronic probes that send the message to your pilot. If your probes do not work well while your FAP is fine, it is still possible that the indicator light will go off.
What to do if the FAP indicator on your Opel Omega 2 lights up?
To begin, it is completely forbidden to remove the fap from your Opel Omega 2! This is an offense. You will need to check the sensors to see if they are working properly. Assuming these work well, the concern must come from the FAP. If it is filthy, it can be cleaned by driving on a diet for about 10 minutes. Do not accelerate too much either, it can damage the engine. It is advisable to climb to 3000 rpm. The heat of the engine block will in this way carbonize the stored soot, and thus clean the FAP. When this combination does not work, it will have to be changed.
Conclusion:
A damaged fap should pollute and reduce the power of the vehicle. It therefore remains essential to have it changed. Post a comment if our post was useful. Enjoy the road!
