Does the Ford Edge have a particulate filter?
1 Answers
The Ford Edge is equipped with a particulate filter. There are 6 models of the Ford Edge, all of which come with a particulate filter to meet the China VI emission standards. A particulate filter is a ceramic filter installed in the diesel engine's emission system, which captures particulate emissions before they enter the atmosphere. It can reduce the soot produced by diesel engines by more than 90%, and the captured particulate emissions are subsequently burned off during vehicle operation. Working principle of the particulate filter: The diesel particulate filter is coated with metals such as platinum, rhodium, and palladium. The black smoke containing carbon particles emitted by the diesel engine enters the engine's exhaust particulate trap through a dedicated pipeline. After passing through its densely arranged bag-type filter, the carbon smoke particles are adsorbed onto the filter made of metal fiber felt. When the adsorption of particles reaches a certain level, the burner at the end automatically ignites and burns, incinerating the adsorbed carbon smoke particles and converting them into harmless carbon dioxide. To check whether the Ford Edge has a particulate filter, you can use the following three methods: Check the and to see if there is a particulate filter function. Additionally, carefully review the fault codes in the manual to see if there is a "particulate filter" warning light indicator. Check the label on the oil cap. If the oil cap clearly indicates 0W-20 grade oil, it means the vehicle is equipped with a particulate filter. Look at the exhaust pipe behind the three-way catalytic converter to see if there is a cylindrical section. If there is, that is the particulate filter.
