Component Details:
The Differential Pressure Sensor for DPF function is to measure the pressure drop across the Diesel Particulate Filter
system and send to ECU an output signal of the differential pressure drop.
The sensor shall be mounted on engine or chassis, and receives its pressure input from two direct ports attached to the
pressure sources across the DPF. In order to operate in severe air pressure conditions (presence of soot or condensate
contamination), sensor element must have an high degree of robustness against chemical corrosion.
Preliminary Checks:
1. Check whether the customer voice / view about the issue is matching with the fault effects mentioned above. If
Yes, go ahead with next steps. If not, check for other DTC’s presence.
2. Check whether similar complaints are earlier reported. If yes, perform the preliminary checks with respect to
Earlier issue closure.
3. Check whether the EMS is receiving Battery supply and Ground.
4. Check whether the Battery is healthy.
5. Check air and fuel system.
6. DPF filter clogged.
7. Exhaust differential pressure sensor connection.
8. DPF sensor connection.
