P2465

Diesel Particulate Filter Differential Pressure Sensor Range/Performance

Moderate severity

What it means

The DPF differential pressure sensor signal is implausible compared to engine load and exhaust flow. Either the sensor or the pressure tubes leading to it are at fault.

Is it safe to drive?

Use caution

The vehicle is usually drivable for short distances, but the problem can worsen or affect emissions. Diagnose and repair as soon as practical.

Most likely causes

  • Soot/water clogged pressure tubes

    high

    One of the most commonly reported causes for this code — check this first.

  • Sensor drift

    medium

    A plausible cause — test and verify before replacing parts.

  • Sensor element aged beyond calibration window

    low

    Less common, but worth ruling out after the more likely causes.
