I have been driving out of warranty with "Particulate filter differential pressure too low" for about 15k miles, not taking it into dealer based on bad experiences while under warranty, and emissions-related experiences of others on this forum. If i had known how easy that sensor was to access i would have looked long ago.
Recently
I got the "Service DEF See Dealer" Countdown of Death at the same time (about 1200 miles after filling at a Flying J).
When i hooked up my code reader, i saw my former "pressure too low" code had been upgraded to
P2453 "Particulate Filter Pressure Sensor range/performance".
Could this be related?
Took a look at my DPF yesterday and found the rubber hose leading to the pressure sensor was cracked. Hopefully this is an easy fix.
Can't find a part number without the metal tubes assembled, so I will (1) take it into a parts store and try to find some high-temp replacement.
As far as the DEF concern, refractometer will be arriving tomorrow.
(2) If the DEF tests good, I will try to top off the tank with some Mopar stuff and hope it resets the countdown.
Any recommendations or advice for my plan (1 & 2 above)?
Or ideas on what kind of hellride I am in for?
I am mostly concerned that my DPF is done for, and that I don't know how to troubleshoot the DEF system. I do not want my van to brick itself.
Which sensor(s) trigger the DPF regen?
If it is only the pressure diff sensor, my DPF will be toast. But I doubt it would even run after this many miles without regens.
Attached a pic of DT Codes when **** hit the fan.
The P0XXX codes have been happening since i bought the van and are very intermittent, though they cause immediate limp mode when they happen. Not specifically asking about these ones now, but if you think they could be related i would be curious to hear.
the P2XXX codes are new (except for the one at the top 'Pressure too low"
After clearing them and driving ~50 miles, P20F5 and P2BA9 did not return.
