P2455

DPF pressure sensor A circuit high

What it means

The DPF differential pressure sensor measures the pressure difference across the particulate filter through two hoses. The engine computer uses it to estimate how full the filter is. The signal voltage is above the valid range, which points to an electrical problem.

Symptoms

  • engine warning light
  • DPF regeneration may not run or may run too often
  • possibly reduced power (limp mode)

Likely causes, most likely first

Likely causes, most likely first
No.Cause
01open sensor ground
02signal wire shorted to voltage
03failed sensor
04corroded or loose connector

What to check, step by step

  1. 01Inspect connector and wiring.
  2. 02Check the sensor ground and signal voltage with key on.
  3. 03Check the signal wire for a short to 5 V or 12 V.
  4. 04Replace the sensor if wiring and ground are good.
