How to diagnose a Faulty Differential Pressure Feedback (DPFE) Sensor - 1998 Ford Explorer

[@reneeacosta4420]

Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to make a good quality video. -Very helpful, I never even considered checking if the original part was bad or not.

[@Z-Ack]

You ran a resistsnce test on pins 1&4 on first sensor then 1&2 on second., que pasa?

[@kratos9174]

Thank you thank you Iwas almost replace the EGR Valve, but you make check and was these part, You have a new subscriber

[@bennieconlee9938]

Why on the first sensor you did resistance check between 1 and 4 th pin then the new part you read between pins 1 and 2 . How is this helpfull since you read from two different points.

[@danielv2k11p2fo]

I was thinking the same thing

[@ltoledo5157]

Great video. Very informative and to the point. Thanks. Some questions though. What would be the voltage signal range when the vehicle is operating? I saw that you pull approximately 23inHG for 3.33 volts. It seems a lot of vacuum. Do you think the exhaust is able to pull that kind of vacuum while driving? Thanks again. Edit: Find my answer: at 8inHg of vacuum, the sensor needs to output between 4.5 and 5 volts; thus, it seems that that sensor may be faulty. Just throwing this out there if someone dealing with p0401 code.

Good video but that clicking noise drives a grown man insane!!

I did the test on dpfe sensor how he did it. I put the lead just like him , nothing. Then I switched the leads and ohms reading at 700. I wonder if he got wrong

[@noeflores7382]

Hello mister but what happen if this part is replace it but the code still is on

[@rodsteele1056]

on the first sensor you did resistance check between 1 and 3 pin, then the new part you read between pins 1 and 2 . WHY? don't know which test is right and which test is wrong.

[@kevinriach6739]

What cause these to burn out?

[@jamesdecosta177]

Can you please tell us about a low circuit? 1400 code came up on a 96 Ford Explorer.

[@everythingvideos24]

All I had to do is remove the hose connected to the DPFE mine was dry rotted. I added a new transmission cooler hose with clamps and the code for P1405 hasn't shown back up for me.

Hello. Mahalo for a great tutorial. I hope you're monitoring comments here and will answer. I have a '96 Explorer. The DPFE passed all the test except for the voltage when the engine is one and vacuum is applied. Rather than going up, the voltage went down. Can I assume that if the DPFE fails just one of the test you prescribed, it had failed? I also noticed that for positive polarity, I connected the positive lead to the bottom (blk/w wire) vs you connect the the common from the multi meter. Thanks in advance for getting back to me.

[@michaelcastaneda4135]

I accidentally broke the plastic part to this senor where the hose connects 😢

[@salemogla1495]

good job . please could you tell me the faulty EGR normally closed or normally opened and if it's still opened what it's happened

[@barrya.6212]

Or for $10 you can just buy new dpfe sensor off Ebay and pop it on in 1 minute.....if issue still exists..it wasn't that...you're only out $10 and not 45 minutes of troubleshooting and that's assuming you have a nice multi meter with adapters....

[@GreatBirdOfHope]

I did exactly that and now the code is back

[@shawnsavage9015]

Thanks for the video!! Does this procedure work for the 95 year model?

[@mechanic7417]

My voltage dropped down below 1 volt when vacuum was applied engine running

[@hmmm.7778]

Very Helpful video. I changed mine out on my 2004 Expedition and because I broke one of the stems on accident, and it gave me an oxygen sensor code for Bank 1, Sensor 1. I change the sensor and STILL have the check engine light on. I disconnected the battery to eliminate the code, but it came on again. I check it with the diagnostic reader from AutoZone and these codes came up (P2195, P0135, P0401 and P0402). I'm at wits end. I was going to go to a mechanic to erase the codes first and see if that will shut the light off. Any other advise? Thank you!

[@HealthFitnessMartialArtsDEng]

Were you able to solve the check engine light issue? Sometimes you have to clear the memory of the PCM completely by disconnecting the battery cables and touching them together to completely discharge the system and clear the PCM. I thought that was my issue but the check engine light has come back on. So I am further diagnosing.

[@timclapper5021]

I got a 2002 explorer 4.0 overheated now blows back out of resivor n bubbles like air in there n white smoke bad out the exhaust . Is my motor shot

[@vintagesoundzkc]

Sounds like a head gasket is the oil milky?

[@1337penguinman]

Head gasket.

[@Nicholas_Triumph_Thruxton]

Would a faulty egr cause a P0174?

[@InnovaAuto]

It's possible you could have a sticking/leaking EGR Valve that is causing the P0174 DTC.

[@WillPresley]

Would these tests apply to the EGR solenoid on a '94 Explorer?

[@admin7721]

that stupid slide banner from the left that kept popping in and out was so annoying to the point that I could not finish watching the video.

This Dude is wayyy better than Scotty Kilmer!

[@cyanide6277]

You take that blasphemy back lol. Jkjk. No I love Scotty for his humor. They are both knowable mechanics

[@noeflores7382]

I got a ford f150 96 4.9 litter
