ECD SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:P2453

DTC Code DTC Name
P2453 Diesel Particulate Filter Pressure Sensor "A" Circuit Range/Performance

DESCRIPTION

Refer to DTC P2454 Click here.

Tech Tips


  • For more information on the differential pressure sensor and Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), refer to the following procedures Click here.

  • If P2453 is present, refer to the DTC chart for DPF system Click here.

  • If the vacuum hoses of the differential pressure sensor are incorrectly connected (crossed), the ECM interprets this as an abnormal pressure difference, DTC P2453 (Diesel Particulate Filter Pressure Sensor "A" Circuit Range/Performance) is stored and the MIL illuminates.

Tech Tips


  • DTC P2454 (Diesel Particulate Filter Pressure Sensor "A" Circuit Low) and/or DTC P2455 (Diesel Particulate Filter Pressure Sensor "A" Circuit High) will be stored if there is an open or short malfunction in the differential pressure sensor circuit.

  • After confirming DTC P2453, check the differential pressure in "Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / DPF Differential Pressure" using the GTS.

Reference:
Condition DPF Differential Pressure Output Sensor Condition
Engine switch on (IG) Approximately 0 kPa Normal
Always -5 kPa or less or higher than 99 kPa Open or short circuit
4000 rpm (No engine load) Negative output Incorrect hose routing

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

In order to detect abnormality in the differential pressure sensor, the ECM always monitors the output voltage from the sensor. When the sensor output voltage is a reversal of positive and negative pressure, the ECM interprets this as an incorrect vacuum hose arrangement of the sensor, or determines that the vacuum hoses are clogged, and illuminates the MIL.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note

After replacing the ECM, the new ECM needs registration (See page ) and initialization Click here.

Tech Tips

Read freeze frame data using the GTS. 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. CHECK OTHER DTC OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P2453)


    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the GTS on.

    3. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes.

    4. Read the DTCs.

      Result
      Result Proceed to
      DTC P2453 is output A
      DTC P2453 and other DTCs are output B

      Tech Tips

      If codes other than P2453 are output, perform troubleshooting for those DTCs first.

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


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

      B001HFPE03
      Text in Illustration
      *1 Air Hose (Downstream) *2 Air Hose (Upstream)
      *3 No. 2 Vacuum Pipe *4 No. 1 Vacuum Pipe

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


    NG

    CORRECT TO NORMAL CONNECTION Click here

    OK

  3. CHECK BLOCKAGE OF AIR HOSE AND VACUUM PIPE

    CAUTION:

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


    1. B001CVDE01
      *1 Vacuum Hose

      Disconnect the air hoses (both upstream and downstream) from the differential pressure sensor.

    2. Start the engine.

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

      OK
      Exhaust gas pulsation exists.

    NG

  4. READ VALUE USING GTS (DPF DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE)


    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the GTS on.

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

    4. Check that the differential pressure is as specified below.

      Result
      Condition Differential Pressure Output Sensor Condition
      Engine switch on (IG) Approximately 0 kPa Normal

    OK

  8. CONFIRM WHETHER MALFUNCTION HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY REPAIRED


    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the GTS on.

    3. Clear the DTCs Click here.

    4. Turn the engine switch off for 30 seconds or more.

    5. Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the GTS on.

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

    7. Check that the differential pressure is as specified below.

      Tech Tips


      • As long as the pipe connections are correct, the displayed pressure will not be vacuum pressure.

      • For reference result of real-vehicle check is as shown in the table below:

        Condition DPF Differential Pressure
        2500 rpm without load 0.5 kPa or more

    8. Start the engine.

    9. Engine is running at 4000 rpm with no load for 10 seconds or more.

    10. Confirm that the DTC is not output again.

      Tech Tips

      Perform the following procedure using the GTS to determine whether or not the DTC judgment has been carried out.


      1. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Utility / All Readiness.

      2. Input DTC P2453.

      3. Check that STATUS is NORMAL. If STATUS is INCOMPLETE or N/A, run the engine at 4000 rpm with no load for 10 seconds or more.
