P2002Powertrain
Diesel particulate filter efficiency below limit (bank 1)
Where to start
The particulate filter is clogged. Before thinking about replacement, look at how the car is driven: the filter only burns clean on a warm engine over a long steady run. If the trips are ten minutes to the shop and back, the filter is not at fault — the driving pattern is.
What to watch in live data
A code is not a diagnosis. It says which check failed, not which part to replace. Clearing it without repair only means the car will report it again in a few trips.

How the app helps
CarScan reads this code from your car through an OBD-II adapter, shows whether it is active now or only stored, names the module that reported it, and puts it into a plain-text report for your mechanic.
