EBPV codes and eliminators???? for the experts . . .

A little history: I was receiving a P0478 code. I did some reading here on TDS and determined the problem was probably a clogged EBPS tube. I did not want to deal with cleaning it, etc., so I decided on the DFUSER code eliminators. I bought from Pure Diesel Power (good service). I bought the Stage 2 EBPS code eliminator and the EBPV terminator. My understanding was all P047X codes would be gone once these were installed.

After installation I cleared codes, but continued to get P0470, and P0475 when checking KOEO. I was also getting P0476 on KOER test on Auto Enginuity. I then decided to clean the EBPS tube. I did the grease trick and ran some compressed air through it. I reinstalled the EBPS and the stage 2 eliminator. I was able to get rid of the P0470 and P0475 codes (at least for now), but the P0476 is still present when doing the KOER test on AE.

I thought these eliminators and terminators were supposed to get rid of all the codes? Was I wrong? FWIW, the P0476 code does not stay in the ECM (hard code?), so it does not turn up when doing the KOEO test.

Any ideas why the P0476 code still rears its ugly head. Even if this code doesn't effect anything as far as fueling, etc., I did not want any codes related to P047X.

My other concern/question is that it looks like the P0470 and P0475 codes were eliminated because the I cleaned the tube....not because of the stage 2 eliminator???

TIA

Re: EBPV codes and eliminators???? for the experts . . .

I was under the same impression and I would contact defuser directly and see that they say up there. I have the same issue and don't really care about the code but I'd have to agree with clearing the clutter from the ECM it makes trouble shooting real issues simpler.

Re: EBPV codes and eliminators???? for the experts . . .

I tee'd my EBPS into the MAP line. The other code, (for the elimination of the EBPV) still shows up though. And I didn't buy an "eliminator", because my EBP sensor "eliminator" doesn't work. And it really never did. So I eliminated that, (the eliminator itself) and just ran the EBPS into the MAP line so that it at least reads some sort of pressure differentiation. I use the EBP line feed for a backpressure guage.

I checked again for codes, and now the P0470 has also shown up on KOEO test using AE. Anyone, have an answer/theory about this?

Change the PCM perhaps to a Non EBPV setup truck code..??

I suppose a new PCM (non ebpv) would work, but I am trying to get it to work right (no codes) using these aftermarket products - sensor eliminators, terminators, etc.

I got an email in to dfuser, the folks who make these items, and I will see what their thoughts are.

The sensors are only supposed to eliminate the code during normal driving. Running KOEO test or KOER tests under AE forces a code if you have disconnected these sensors or running pigtail eliminators.

P0478 is usually a clogged EBP sensor tube, where the P0470 is usually due to a bad sensor.

Will AE think there is a bad sensor (P0470 on KOEO) if there is an eliminator installed? That is what I am seeing.

You say AE will force the codes. What does that mean? Doesn't that also mean that my ECM will see these codes under normal operations? I was under the impression that these pigtails get rid of the codes.
