What does this fault code mean?

Although the code is named circuit voltage above threshold, it applies when the zero-point adaptation of the particle filter pressure sensor is wrong. When this happens the control module uses a calculated value instead of the sensor signal.

Possible causes

Damaged pressure sensor for the particle filter
Pipes or hoses to the sensor are mixed up
Pinched or folded hoses between the pressure sensor and the particle filter

What you can do

1Look at the hoses between the pressure sensor and the particle filter for pinched or folded sections
2Make sure the hoses to the pressure sensor are not swapped round
3Look at the connectors at the pressure sensor for looseness and oxidation
4Do not disconnect the control module connector yourself; have a workshop measure the signal wire with diagnostic equipment
5If the fault remains after a new service regeneration, have a workshop decide whether the particle filter needs replacing

Symptoms you may notice1

The engine warning lamp (Check engine) lights up or behaves abnormally

What the fault can affect1

The control module uses a calculated value instead
