Diesel Particulate Filter Pressure Sensor Circuit Range/Performance

The DPF differential-pressure sensor produces a value that is electrically valid but does not match expectations — for example a non-zero reading with engine off or no change between idle and load.

Affected components

  • Dpf differential pressure sensor
  • Dpf pressure sensor wiring

Common causes

  • High likelihood: Sample hoses clogged or kinked
  • Medium likelihood: Sensor drift
  • Low likelihood: Sensor element aged beyond calibration window

Possible symptoms

  • Check engine light or DPF warning light on
  • Power loss / limp mode
  • Increased fuel consumption
  • Failed forced regeneration attempts

Diagnostic notes

  • The malfunction indicator lamp may illuminate
  • This code can affect emissions
  • A drive cycle may be required after repair
