Peugeot - B173d
A: Yes, in most regions with strict emissions testing (UK, EU, California). The illuminated engine light is an automatic failure.
A: No. AdBlue (SCR) is for NOx reduction. Glow plugs (B173D) are for combustion stability. However, a failed DPF caused by B173D can eventually clog the AdBlue injector. Conclusion The B173D Peugeot code is a classic, predictable failure on modern Peugeot, Citroen, and DS diesel engines. While the code sounds like a complex body control module error, it is almost always a simple electrical fault in the cylinder 4 glow plug circuit.
If you own a modern Peugeot equipped with a BlueHDi diesel engine, you may have recently been startled by the sudden illumination of the dreaded engine management light (often called the "orange anti-pollution light"). When you plug in an OBD2 scanner, the code that appears is often cryptic: B173D Peugeot .
