What P2453 means

P2453
Particulate Filter Pressure Sensor A Circuit Range/Performance Generic · emissions Data confidence 85%

The control module judged the Particulate Filter Pressure Sensor A signal implausible: it stayed inside electrical limits but did not match the value expected for the current operating conditions.

Symptoms

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

Possible causes

  • Wiring
  • DPF
  • Pressure sensor
  • Pressure feed lines
  • PCM

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)
