| P2465 | Particulate Filter Differential Pressure Too High Bank 1 |
DESCRIPTION
The GPF (Gasoline Particulate Filter) system is an exhaust purification system which breaks down particulate matter (PM) in the exhaust gasses from the engine.
A GPF catalyst with a porous ceramic structure is used to capture PM. The captured PM is oxidized by combining with oxygen molecules in a high temperature environment.
When fuel cut is performed, after driving under high load, when the temperature of the GPF catalyst is high, PM will be oxidized. However, when driving when the temperature of the GPF catalyst is low, PM oxidization will not be performed sufficiently and PM will accumulate.
If the vehicle is driven continuously under low load, the captured PM will accumulate and eventually clog the filter of the GPF catalyst.
A semi-conductor type differential pressure sensor, which is not affected by exhaust gasses, is installed ahead of the GPF catalyst to monitor the exhaust gas pressure.
The differential pressure sensor detects the difference in pressure between the exhaust gasses at the GPF catalyst and atmospheric pressure.
If the output value of the differential pressure sensor exceeds a threshold, the ECM determines that a large amount of PM and/or metal oxides (ash) has accumulated in the GPF catalyst.

| P2465 | Particulate Filter Differential Pressure Too High Bank 1 | The output value of the differential pressure sensor (for Bank 2) exceeds the threshold* for 0.15 seconds or more continuously. (1 trip detection logic) |

MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The differential pressure sensor detects the difference in pressure between the exhaust gasses at the GPF catalyst and atmospheric pressure.
If PM and/or metallic oxides (ash) accumulate in the GPF catalyst, the differential pressure sensor value will exceed the threshold and engine output will be restricted while driving under high load.
If this occurs, the ECM will illuminate the MIL and store a DTC.
MONITOR STRATEGY
| Required Sensors/Components | Differential pressure sensor |
| Frequency of Operation | Once per driving cycle |
TYPICAL ENABLING CONDITIONS
| All of the following conditions are met | - |
| Differential pressure sensor circuit fail | Not detected |
| Mass air flow | 110.0 gm/sec or higher |
CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the engine switch on (IG).
Turn the GTS on.
Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
Start the engine and idle it for 5 minutes or more.
Turn the engine switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
Start the engine [A].
Quickly accelerate to 60 km/h (37 mph) while in 2nd gear and then decelerate to a stop [B]. Perform step [B] 5 times.
Turn the GTS on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes [C].
Read the pending DTCs.
If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.
Input the DTC: P244B or P2465.
Check the DTC judgment result.
| GTS Display | Description |
|---|---|
| NORMAL |
|
| ABNORMAL |
|
| INCOMPLETE |
|
| N/A |
|
If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE or N/A, perform steps [B] and [C] again.
CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
| Abnormal Bank | Particulate Filter Differential Pressure Too High |
|---|---|
| Bank 1 | P244B |
| Bank 2 | P2465 |
Bank 1 refers to the bank that includes the No. 1 cylinder*.
*: The No. 1 cylinder is the cylinder which is farthest from the transmission.
Bank 2 refers to the bank that does not include the No. 1 cylinder.
Read freeze frame data using the GTS. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
PROCEDURE
CHECK ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (P244B OR P2465)
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the engine switch on (IG).
Turn the GTS on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes.
Read the DTCs.
| Result | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
If any DTCs other than P244B or P2465 are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.
