| DTC Code | DTC Name |
|---|---|
| P2453 | Diesel Particulate Filter Pressure Sensor "A" Circuit Range/Performance |
DESCRIPTION
Refer to DTC P2454.
Tech Tips
If the exhaust pipe air hoses of the differential pressure sensor are incorrectly connected (crossed), the ECM interprets this as an abnormal pressure difference and DTC P2453 will be stored and the MIL will be illuminated.
| DTC No. | Detection Item | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area | MIL | Memory |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| P2453 | Diesel Particulate Filter Pressure Sensor "A" Circuit Range/Performance | Both of the following conditions are met: (1 trip detection logic)
|
|
Comes on | DTC stored |
| DTC No. | DTC Detection Drive Pattern |
|---|---|
| P2453 | Start the engine and drive the vehicle with a engine speed of 3000 rpm or more (3rd gear) for 10 minutes or more. Then turn the ignition switch off and wait for 30 seconds or more. |
| DTC No. | Data List |
|---|---|
| P2453 | DPF Differential Pressure |
Tech Tips
DTC P2454 (Differential pressure sensor circuit low) and/or DTC P2455 (Differential pressure sensor high) will be present if there is an open or short in the differential pressure sensor circuit.
CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
Note
When replacing the ECM and/or DPF catalyst, perform ECM Initialization and Registration.
Tech Tips
When the ECM must be replaced, before replacing the ECM, perform the "Learning Values Save" function using the GTS. Then after installing a new ECM, perform all of the initialization and registration procedures for the "Learning Values Write" function by following the instructions shown on the GTS display.
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.
Check the DPF Differential Pressure using the GTS by entering the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / DPF Differential Pressure.
| Condition | DPF Differential Pressure |
|---|---|
| Idling (warm up the engine) | -0.204 kPa |
| Running without load (2500 rpm) | 0.296 kPa |
| Running without load (4000 rpm) | 0.699 kPa |
PROCEDURE
CHECK ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P2453)
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the GTS on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes.
Read the DTCs.

Tech Tips
If the DTC P2453 and "P2454 or P2455" are output, perform troubleshooting for DTC P2454 and P2455 first.

CHECK CONNECTION OF VACUUM TRANSMITTING HOSE (DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE SENSOR - VACUUM TRANSMITTING PIPE)
Check if vacuum transmitting hoses routing between the differential pressure sensor and the vacuum transmitting pipe is correct.
| *1 | Differential Pressure Sensor | *2 | Vacuum Transmitting Hose (for upstream) |
| *3 | No. 2 Vacuum Transmitting Hose (for downstream) | - | - |
| *a | Marked: Yellow | *b | Marked: Pink |
| *c | Marked: Red | *d | Marked: Orange |
Check that there is no exhaust gas leak between the differential pressure sensor and the vacuum transmitting pipe.

CHECK BLOCKAGE OF VACUUM TRANSMITTING HOSE AND TRANSMITTING PIPE
CAUTION:
Be careful of being burned by exhaust gases during the following inspection.
Disconnect both vacuum transmitting hoses (upstream and downstream) on the differential pressure sensor.
Start the engine.
Check if there are exhaust gas pulsations from both vacuum transmitting hoses during idling.
| OK |

INSPECT DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE SENSOR
Inspect the differential pressure sensor.
| Standard |
|---|
| Approximately the same pressure as the applied pressure is indicated. |
Tech Tips
The DPF Differential Pressure displayed is a value that does not reflect the zero point adjustment. Therefore the displayed may vary about +/-0.3 kPa even if the applied differential pressure is 0 kPa.

PERFORM DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE SENSOR LEARNING
Start the engine and allow it to idle until the engine coolant temperature reaches 75°C (167°F) or higher (A).
Turn the ignition switch off and wait for 30 seconds or more (B).
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.

CONFIRM WHETHER MALFUNCTION HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY REPAIRED
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the GTS on.
Clear the DTCs.
Turn the ignition switch off and wait for 30 seconds.
Start the engine and drive the vehicle with an engine speed of 3000 rpm or more (3rd gear) for 10 minutes or more.
CAUTION:
When performing the confirmation driving pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.
Turn the ignition switch off and wait for 30 seconds or more.
Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the GTS on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes.
Confirm that the DTC is not output again.
