Suzuki SX4 1.6 diesel — throttle, EGR and DPF diagnostics

The throttle and EGR were checked on a Suzuki SX4, and the DPF soot loading reading was recorded.

Engine 1.6 diesel

This 2014 Suzuki SX4 with a 1.6-litre diesel engine arrived with faults related to the throttle body. Another workshop had previously checked the EGR and replaced its valve. During the throttle inspection, the mechanism moved, but the electronic part was not operating correctly.

The owner and workshop agreed on a follow-up plan. The video shows a decision to change the software settings for EGR and throttle operation, then monitor the DPF parameters for about a week. Before that, the diagnostic tool showed a DPF soot loading of 79%, and the vehicle’s mileage was stated as 222,000 km.

The recording ends before the planned follow-up check. It therefore does not show how the DPF readings changed after a week or confirm whether the selected approach resolved the original issue. The DPF loading figure is a reading from the diagnostic session, not proof of how the filter performed afterward.
