In EURO4 diesel engine with DPF, injection is devided into 2 pilot, 1 main, 2 post injections. Among these injections, pilot and main injections are for the operation of engine, however post injections are for CPF regeneration. Only in activating condition of CPF regeneration during driving, post injection starts. 1st post injection happens at the end of combustion cycle then, injected fuel is used to raise exhaust temperature. that temp. is sensed at T3 exhaust tempt. sensor which is ahead of Turbo charger. 2nd post injection happens at exhaust cycle then, injected fuel is also used to raise exhaust temperature. that temp. is sensed T5 exhaust tempt. sensor which is between Oxydation catalyst and DPF. The reason of raising exhaust tempt. is because exhaust tempt. in diesel engine is too low for DPF regeneration. The optimum tempt. for DPF regeneration is 550~600? thus, the goal of post injection is raise exhaust tempt. to that range of tempt.. However if exhaust tempt. is too high, turbo charger or DPF are likely to be damaged. Therefore if tempt. measured at each sensor is out of permittable value(specification), ECM deactivates DPF regeneration.

P2033 is set when the Exhaust gas temperature sensor(EGTS-DPF) signal is detected over maximum set temperature(900?),- In case that exhaust gas temperature on the rear side of DPF is abnormally increased -, for more than 1sec. Therefore, check component or vehicle is driven in severe driving condition. or Check that HC gas is flown to catalyst converter at front side of DPF which is resulting from low compression ratio and faulty in/exhaust valve or backleak at injector nozzle.

*. In case that real exhaust gas temperature reaches up to 900?, engine and exhaust line(Turbo charger), DPF can be damaged.
