SFI SYSTEM(w/ GPF), Diagnostic DTC:P244B00

DTC Code DTC Name
P244B00 Particulate Filter Differential Pressure Too High Bank 1

DESCRIPTION

The GPF (Gasoline Particulate Filter) system is an exhaust purification system for processing the PM (Particulate Matter) discharged from the engine. The GPF catalyst has a porous ceramic structure that collects PM, and the collected PM is oxidized as it bonds with oxygen molecules under high temperature. When the fuel cut operation is performed after the GPF rises to a high temperature under high load operation, PM is oxidized, but under low temperature conditions, PM oxidation is insufficient and deposits accumulate.

A differential pressure sensor is installed to monitor the pressure before the GPF catalyst converter. The sensor is a semiconductor type that is not affected by the exhaust gas. The differential pressure sensor outputs the difference between the atmospheric pressure and the pressure before the GPF catalyst. The differential pressure sensor outputs the difference between the atmospheric pressure and the pressure before the GPF catalyst.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The differential pressure sensor outputs the difference between the atmospheric pressure and the pressure before the GPF catalyst. When the GPF differential pressure is at the threshold or higher due to PM or ash accumulation in the GPF catalyst, output is limited during high load operation. At this time, the ECM illuminates the MIL* and stores a DTC.

*: The MIL is illuminated when PM or ash accumulation has progressed and protection of parts has become necessary.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Tech Tips


  • 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.

  • Clear the Vehicle Control History after completing repairs.
