P244B
Diesel particulate filter (DPF) - differential pressure too high Generic · emissions Data confidence 78%

The control module detected that the Diesel particulate filter (DPF) - differential pressure value was above the expected limit.

Symptoms

  • MIL or DPF warning illuminated
  • Possible reduced power or limp mode
  • Possible frequent regeneration attempts

Possible causes

  • DPF regeneration fluid
  • Large exhaust leaks
  • DPF pressure sensor
  • Open
  • shorted circuit/s

Recommended checks

  • Read soot load, ash load and differential pressure values
  • Check differential pressure sensor and hoses
  • Verify exhaust gas temperature sensor readings
  • Check for related injection, EGR or boost codes
  • Verify regeneration conditions can be met (trip profile)
