B0026EIE10

The two sensing chambers of the differential pressure sensor assembly are mounted to monitor the pressure before and after the DPF catalytic converter. The sensor itself is not located on the engine assembly in order to reduce the influence of vibration.

The ECM compares the exhaust gas pressure before and after the DPF catalytic converter by monitoring the pressure using the upstream and downstream sensing chambers of the differential pressure sensor assembly. If the difference between the pressure before and after the DPF catalytic converter exceeds a predetermined level, the ECM judges that the catalytic converter is clogged with particulate matter (PM). When the ECM judges that a partially clogged condition exists, the ECM begins to perform PM forced regeneration.

When the output voltage of the sensor deviates from the normal operating range, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction of the sensor circuit, and sets DTC P2454 or P2455, and illuminates the MIL.

Tech Tips

If the vacuum hoses of the differential pressure sensor assembly 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 P2453 (Diesel Particulate Filter Pressure Sensor "A" Circuit Range / Performance) will be stored if there is incorrect vacuum hose routing to the differential pressure sensor assembly.

  • After confirming DTC P2454 and P2455, check the differential pressure in the "Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / All Data / DPF Differential Pressure" menu using the GTS.

Reference:
Condition Differential Pressure Output Sensor Condition
Ignition switch ON 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 assembly, the ECM always monitors the output voltage from the sensor. When the sensor output voltage deviates from the normal operating range (between 0.4 V and 4.8 V) for more than 3 seconds, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction in the sensor circuit and illuminates the MIL.

Note

After replacing the ECM, the new ECM needs registration (Click here) 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.
