What it means

P246D means Particulate Filter Pressure Sensor A/B Correlation.

Where it lives

For P246D, the part to look at first is the sensor named here.

Check these first

  • A pressure sensor A or B that reads out of step with the other
  • A restricted pressure hose on one DPF sensor
  • A clogged DPF that distorts one pressure reading
  • An ECM that misreads the paired sensor signals

What to do next

  1. Read pressure sensors A and B on a scan tool at the same time
  2. Compare the two sensor readings at key on with the engine off
  3. Check both pressure hoses for a blockage or leak
  4. Test each sensor circuit for added resistance
  5. Replace the sensor that reads out of step with the other
  6. Clear the code and retest
