ECD SYSTEM(w/ DPF), Diagnostic DTC:P2454, P2455

DTC Code DTC Name
P2454 Diesel Particulate Filter Pressure Sensor "A" Circuit Low
P2455 Diesel Particulate Filter Pressure Sensor "A" Circuit High

DESCRIPTION

The ECM compares the exhaust gas pressure before and after DPF* catalytic converter using the semiconductor-type differential pressure sensor.

If the differential pressure exceeds a predetermined level, the ECM judges that the catalytic converter has clogged with particulate matter (PM). At that time, the ECM begins to perform DPF catalyst regeneration.

Tech Tips

If the Differential Pressure outputs a negative value when the engine is maintained at an engine speed of 3000 rpm with no load, the hose and pipe connections may be incorrect.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note

When replacing the ECM, the ECM needs Registration and Initialization Click here.

Tech Tips


  • When the ECM must be replaced, before replacing the ECM, perform the "Learning Values Save" function using the intelligent tester. Then after installing the new ECM, perform all of the initialization/registrations for the "Learning Values Write" function by following the instructions shown on the tester display.

  • Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

PROCEDURE


  1. READ VALUE USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (DPF DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE)


    1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

    2. Start the engine and turn the tester on.

    3. Depress and release the accelerator pedal repeatedly several times.

    4. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / DPF Differential Pressure.

    5. Read the value when depress and release the accelerator pedal.

  2. CHECK CONNECTION OF EXHAUST PIPE AIR HOSE (DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE SENSOR - EXHAUST PIPE AIR HOSE)


    1. Check if the exhaust pipe air hose routing between the differential pressure sensor and the vacuum transmitting pipe is correct.

      Text in Illustration
      *1 Differential Pressure Sensor *2 No. 1 Vacuum Transmitting Hose (for upstream)
      *3 No. 1 Vacuum Transmitting Hose (for downstream) - -
      *a Marked: Yellow *b Marked: Pink
      *c Marked: Red *d Marked: Orange

    2. Check that there is no exhaust gas leak between the differential pressure sensor and the vacuum transmitting pipe.

      OK
      Exhaust pipe air hose routing is correct and there is no exhaust gas leak.

  3. CHECK BLOCKAGE OF EXHAUST PIPE AIR HOSE AND TRANSMITTING PIPE

    CAUTION:

    Be careful of being burned by exhaust gases during the following inspection.


    1. Disconnect the exhaust pipe air hose (both upstream and downstream) on the differential pressure sensor.

    2. Start the engine.

    3. Check if there are exhaust gas pulsations from both exhaust pipe air hoses during idling.

  4. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE SENSOR - ECM)


    1. Disconnect the differential pressure sensor connector.

    2. Disconnect the ECM connector.

    3. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Resistance
      Tester Connection Condition Specified Condition
      B43-2 (PEX) - A59-32 (PEX) Always Below 1 Ω
      B43-3 (VC) - A59-33 (VCPX) Always Below 1 Ω
      B43-1 (E2) - A59-34 (EPEX) Always Below 1 Ω
      B43-2 (PEX) or A59-32 (PEX) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      B43-3 (VC) or A59-33 (VCPX) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher
      B43-1 (E2) or A59-34 (EPEX) - Body ground Always 10 kΩ or higher

  5. REPLACE DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE SENSOR


    1. Replace the differential pressure sensor Click here.

    2. Start the engine and wait until the engine coolant temperature reaches 75°C (167°F) or more (A).

    3. Turn the ignition switch off and wait for 30 seconds or more (B).

    4. Repeat the above procedures (A) and (B) 3 times.

      Tech Tips

      Procedures (A) and (B) must be repeated 3 times to complete the differential pressure sensor learning process.
