U0467Invalid Data Received From Fuel Additive Control Module
- Generic OBD-II code · Network
- Turns on the check-engine light
- Matters for the ITP
- Can trigger limp mode
- Needs a drive cycle to confirm a fix
- How the car detects it
- U0467 belongs to diesels that use a fuel-borne catalyst. A separate fuel additive control module meters a metal-based additive from its own reservoir into the fuel after refuelling, so that soot trapped in the particulate filter ignites at about 350-450 °C instead of above 600 °C. The engine controller sets U0467 when the module's reports, for example dosed quantity, reservoir level or fault status, arrive corrupt or contradict each other. No manufacturer documents U0467 publicly. A Ford patent (US 6,276,310) outlines how such a dosing processor works with the engine controller, which supplies fuel consumption so the additive ratio stays constant. CARB requires the particulate filter and its regeneration to be monitored, so the fault counts as emission-related and a MIL is likely. U0118 is lost contact. Unrepaired, the filter clogs.
- What you may notice
- Check engine lamp or particulate filter warning
- Regeneration becomes more frequent or incomplete
- Reduced engine power once the filter loads up
- Likely causes
- LikelyCorroded connector or damaged wiring at the additive pump module near the tank
- PossibleFaulty additive level sensor feeding implausible values into the module
- PossibleModule not adapted after refilling the additive or replacing the particulate filter
- RareInternal fault in the fuel additive control module
- Inspection (ITP)
- Matters for the ITP. While the check-engine light is on, the car fails the emissions check.
