You can do the same thing with older Toyota secondary air injection systems that fail - you can install a resistor in the temperature sensor circuit so that the truck always thinks it is over a certain temperature so that it just never runs the secondary air system. Typically people will remove the air pumps and valves as well and block the holes off with a plate, but it is a neat little trick to fool the ECU into never activating the system and therefore never throwing a code. (Secondary air is a total joke anyways as all it does is blow air into the exhaust system when the air temps are cold enough on start to "reduce" emissions by diluting them - lol. That is basically all it does.)
Hello Vince, Just did the swirl flap motor bypass in my OM642 G-Wagen 320CDi and as i expected the limp mode is gone. My engine is a little different because in my car it has a "T" intake and 02 MAF sensors. I feel the engine a little louder and it seems that sound like it "breaths" different. Do you find any long term problems with this mod? I used a 4.7K Ohms resistor and i think its a little bit bigger so its probably 1watt and not 0.5 watts as the ones you showed in your video. Thank you for the great video.
I kinda missed a description of this swirl flap motor in your video, how it affects engine operation if it's not working, and how the resistor would make the engine computer believe nothing is wrong... So........... The flap closes part of the flow in the intake when idle. This creates some turbulence which creates a better mix between the diesel fuel and the air, which results in a cleaner burn. On higher RPMs, there's more air flow and that will have enough turbulence by itself and the flap can be open, to make sure enough air can be drawn into the engine. If that flap is stuck open, it causes slightly more emissions when idling. The car owner won't mind that. Problem is at the government: cars need to meet emission standards, no matter what. So car manufacturers probably decided to impose 'limp mode' on a swirl flap motor failure. Limp mode usually drives the car owner to fix the problem. Just a dash light: not so much. If the flap is stuck closed, I think, limp mode would be justified: car will not be able to get enough air: incomplete fuel burn, more turbo wear, more soot, more particulate filter regeneration cycles, which may not succeed when there's not enough air. I think, this flap has a spring that keeps it open and it closes when the motor gets actuated. But I'm not sure. The resistor is weird. 4700 Ohms is not accurate for representing a motor coil. That would allow for just 2.5 mA. That's 0.03 Watt of power. That will not move a flap, for sure. But then again... if it's enough for the ECU, it's okay. If the resistor would be more in the range of what the motor would use, it would heat up too much. 4700 Ohms would be okay for a sensing circuit. But a fixed resistance would then indicate that there's nothing moving. So... weird value. I think this is a nice cheap fix that will keep this car usable until the next big thing goes. This car's turbo seems to be a bit of a concern. (edited: fixed some grammatical and spelling)
I think the position of the flap is measured by a potentiometer, nothing to do with the motor it just measures the change in resistance with the change of the position of the flap. It's possible the motor still works.
@@coyote5735 If that would be so, then, replacing the potentiometer with a resistor would make the ECU believe that the flap is always in the same position. That would surely generate an error.
@@fluffyblue4006 Obviously not that's why this fix works. ECU enables the valve to open and looks for an open confirmation, the designers didn't think to make it self testing, not an overly important system. I suspect the valve only makes a minimal difference to emissions.
Great work around they must sell a few of those devices to bother putting a 4k7 in a plug in the first place let's hope it passes the MOT for you like you said let's hope it runs for many years to come for your brother.
Great video Vince! Thank you! I will be trying this on my 2008 Jeep Diesel 3.0 CRD. Do you suggest I order the gaskets as well before I open it up or do you think they won't be needed?
Nice work Vince I might look you up if my 2.2 diesel Civic needs doing. I used to have that same engine in the old Mercedes C320 cdi that I used to own a few years ago.
The oil that caused that problem in the first place comes from the crankcase vent valve and should be treated as a consumable, bad diaphragm or weak spring allows turbo to suck oil vapor or in extreme cases oil, some goes through the turbo and some leaks past the seal onto flap motor.
Fantastic work-around Vince! maybe a start into motor vehicle maintenance for some future vids? Or a long term side project like converting an old fossil fuel car into an EV?

They are used to make the incoming air swirl around at certain engine speeds, which helps improve the mixing of the air and fuel, increasing efficiency and decreasing pollution. They are almost always attached to the inlet manifold.
