What does this fault code mean?
The engine control module (ECM) uses a pressure sensor to compare the pressure before and after the diesel particulate filter and checks that the difference matches a calculated value. The code is set when the calculated efficiency of the filter is too low, or when the pressure sensor signal lies outside the expected range. The filter's capacity is checked when it holds a limited amount of soot.
Possible causes
- Contact resistance or oxidation in the connectors or connections to the particulate filter pressure sensor
- The hoses or pipes to the particulate filter pressure sensor have been swapped
- Clogged particulate filter
- Damaged particulate filter, for example cracks in the ceramic
- Damaged particulate filter pressure sensor
- Trouble code ECM-P242F00 can cause this code
What you can do
- 1Make sure the hoses to the pressure sensor are not mixed up and sit correctly
- 2Check that the particulate filter is fitted correctly and has no leaks or damage
- 3Check the pressure sensor connector for play, contact resistance and oxidation
- 4If you have a diagnostic tool: read the differential pressure across the particulate filter in live data with the engine running and check that it rises when the engine is under load
- 5When the pressure sensor is replaced, the engine control module must be programmed by a workshop. If the fault remains, have a workshop check the sensor with diagnostic equipment
Symptoms you may notice4
- The car runs with poor performance and lacks power, especially at take-off
- The engine hesitates, surges or runs unevenly during acceleration, deceleration or steady speed
- Check engine warning lamp lights or behaves abnormally
- Warning symbol and text message shown in the driver information display
What the fault can affect3
- Engine output and speed are limited
- Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) control does not operate
- Soot particles in the filter are not burnt off
General guidance for car owners. Diagnosis on the car can point to a different cause.
