What P244D means

P244D
Diesel particulate filter (DPF), bank 1 - exhaust temperature too high for regeneration Generic · emissions Data confidence 78%

The control module detected that the Diesel particulate filter (DPF), bank 1 - exhaust temperature value was above the expected limit.

Symptoms

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

Possible causes

  • Excessive soot load beyond regeneration limits
  • Differential pressure sensor or hose fault
  • Failed or interrupted regenerations (short trips)
  • Exhaust leak upstream of the sensor
  • Underlying engine fault increasing soot output

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)

Frequently asked questions about P244D

What does P244D mean?

Diesel particulate filter (DPF), bank 1 - exhaust temperature too high for regeneration. The control module detected that the Diesel particulate filter (DPF), bank 1 - exhaust temperature value was above the expected limit.

Is P244D generic or manufacturer-specific?

P244D is a generic OBD-II code: it has the same meaning on every make and model that follows the SAE standard.

Can TuningBot remove P244D at file level?

If the fault logic lives in the ECU calibration, yes: our DTC Removal file service disables the specific fault entry. Checksum correction is not included: it is a separate, optional service. Not sure whether your case qualifies? Request a free assessment and our engineers will check your ECU file.
