How To Test DPF Differential Pressure Sensor. Diagnostic

[@robertsproule1848]

Good job. Had this myself on a cx130c excavator with isuzu 4jj1 engine. No fault was presented, but went to live data and seen DP not moving. Thanks to your video

[@homeistheearth]

Testing instead of just throwing parts - that is the best way..

[@sliczman]

This is super handy! I changed my DPF after inspection it was toast , but now keep getting the risk of blockage coming up, looks like a sensor fault! You're a gentleman thanks for putting these videoes out

[@davidsstfarrelltighe]

Good job dude nice to see someone actually diagnosing instead of firing the parts cannon also some mercs had a service bulletin about changing the connector on the dpf pressure sensor for poor connection there's a pigtail plug available from mb I changed a few when I worked there.

Thanks for the video very helpful. I have just carried out the same test on my Kia 1.6crdi and my pressure sensor signal wire reads 0.00 at idle and with engine @ 3000rpm. The power wire is fine @ 5v and the ground is also fine. Looks like my sensor is faulty? The reason i checked this is my dpf never seems to regen even after 2k miles.

[@BrianPorter-y1g]

I have a zafira b that has had the dpf replaced due to a blockage. No fault codes now but the regen process is constantly starting. Could this be a damaged pressure sensor or maybe the ecu not being reset ? Thanks

[@sollykhan2385]

Thank you for a great video, very educational and useful ,ohh btw hope that exhaust manifold was 'COLD' bcz you placed your multimeter on it ! otherwise it would have melted away 🙂

[@npatrcevic]

Usually there is a failure code reporting a short to ground on the sensor, it is extremely useful to be able to read this out yourself.

[@tim_tim_tim]

Literally just done this with a cheap OBD2 reader and hopefully ordered the correct new sensor. Spent £1700 last year due to DPF related issues fowling up the turbo and exhaust system - hopefully this will fix it 🤞

[@skucheran6822]

a great video im glad i came across your video you saved me from changing my dpf

[@ORileysAutos]

Great to hear!

[@the_retired_mechanic]

Where possible I try use main dealer sensors. However considering they all work the same in principle the price of these sensors varies massively

[@stefan2meter]

Been watching a few of your videos lately, hope I can get your opinion here… I am a home mechanic with a 2009 Audi A6 3.0tdi, 293k km, no mods other than a simple remap from a known good tuner: P242F stored, can be deleted but comes back in no time. No other faults stored. Been smelling exhaust fumes for a while now, but can’t find an exhaust leak. Exhaust tips still clean as a whistle, high fuel consumption (9,5L/100km) but no change in power. What do you think, best scenario split dpf sensor hoses? Or a worst scenario clogged dpf causing backpressure causing gasses to escape pre-dpf past a gasket?

[@cransaftvalve734]

Is it possible to fool the ECU into thinking that the FAP is installed through the differential sensor?

[@MrLeslloyd]

Are you supposed to be able to blow through the 2 hoses to check for blockages?One on mine is barely passing any air.Can you safely run a wire down them to clean or is there something that maybe damaged.Too hard to remove them as they're at back of engine and hard to get at to unscrew.

[@s.wilson5675]

Late answer:- I'm pretty sure in some previous videos, Jimmy has a long wire on a drill that he feeds down the hose to help clear it out as it gets bunged up with oil/soot mixture.

[@MrLeslloyd]

@@s.wilson5675 turned out only blocked first inch so got by with a drill bit,🙂

[@grayslayers]

When you replace the sensor do you have to adapt it on the autel?

[@Matthew-e5i9l]

Hi, do you come out to replaced dpf pressure sensors?

[@rocketrobMontana]

I noticed you only tested one of the pressure hose inlets on the sensor. Should both connections be tested? Thanks

[@Dave-kd7fo]

Hi i got p244a00 error code on my w212 facelift and thinking about changing sensor. But is there other things to do after changing sensor?

[@cransaftvalve734]

Do you know if it is necessary to reset the ECU once you change the DPF with the scanner or a regeneration to get the new values from the differential pressure probes?. I have to change it for a new one, it is very saturated.

[@apostoloskalogiros3575]

amazing job!! may i know the autels model?

[@slvs91]

Hi, on this type of dpf sensor is air supposed to travel through it ,like blow it trough one end and comes out through the other one ?

[@imjustbrowsing100]

No it is a dpf differential pressure sensor. It works by comparing the pressure on both sides of the dpf (hens two pipes). If there is equal pressure on both sides then the sensor will read zero but if the dpf is restricted the reading would be high as the pressure on the engine side of the dpf would be higher than that on the other side. This is how the car knows how much soot is in the dpf. Also if the sensor picks up the dpf differential pressure is too low it could indicate the dpf internal structure has failed. If this is the case you would usually find black soot within the tailpipe. It is also possible if say you had a block within the exhaust system but not the dpf the sensor would show the pressure to be okay as it is only comparing two points and not the actual exhaust back pressure. I hope this makes sense.

[@mikem2915]

So will the volts increase or decreasing on the sensor wire? My base voltage is 1.2 and when I add pressure to the small hose the voltage increases. When I add pressure to the large hose voltage decreases.

[@ORileysAutos]

Yes that's normal

[@davecooke914]

Could it be that sensor voltage is normal but it’s been replaced at some point but not relearnt via diagnostic tool? Thanks

[@georgeowusu1127]

Good Job. l have a question, why where you testing one side of the sensor?

[@imjustbrowsing100]

It is a dpf differential pressure sensor. It compares the pressure of one side to the other. If he put pressure to both sides it would read zero as both sides would be the same pressure but by putting pressure to one side (manifold side) he is comparing the reading of the increased pressure on one side to atmospheric pressure on the other. Although saying that he could probably have tried pulling a vacuum on the other side (exhaust side) as an additional check as well but honestly I don't think it would have been necessary.

[@MrElectroRobot]

Anyone going through DPF clogging issues - I can recommend doing a backpressure test with ISTA software, there are tutorials on youtube. Helps understand how badly clogged the DPF is and also shows the readings of this sensor - if they are the same across the range, sensor is faulty. For me, turns out the pre-DPF temperature sensor is at fault for regens not happening, showing 7.9 degrees celsius with the engine running - impossible.

All errors and lights will go out.. ..The computer in the car, through a clean air sensor, reads a clean air flow without CO2 and turns off every single Error exactly that the same dirty 0xygen sensor reads in the old one that is on the Dpf.....You bypassed the complete system of all sensors and Shit with that move😅
