What it means

P2459 means Particulate Filter Regeneration Frequency Bank 1.

Check these first

  • Regenerations triggering too often on the bank 1 filter
  • A bank 1 sensor reporting false soot loading
  • Short trip driving that never completes a regeneration
  • An overfueling fault feeding soot to the bank 1 filter

What to do next

  1. Read bank 1 DPF soot load and regeneration count on a scan tool
  2. Check the bank 1 pressure and EGT sensors for false readings
  3. Look for an overfueling or misfire fault on bank 1
  4. Inspect the bank 1 exhaust for restriction
  5. Repair the sensor or fuel fault driving the frequent regenerations
  6. Clear the code and retest
