Check these first

  • A failing particulate filter pressure sensor D giving a low signal
  • A clogged or blocked pressure port or hose at sensor D
  • Corrosion or damage in the sensor D wiring or connector
  • A short to ground on the sensor D signal circuit
  • Loss of reference voltage or ground at sensor D

What to do next

  1. Check reference voltage and ground at particulate filter pressure sensor D
  2. Inspect the sensor D pressure port and hoses for soot or blockage
  3. Test the sensor D signal circuit for a short to ground
  4. Read particulate filter pressure data with a scan tool and compare it to sensor A
  5. Replace particulate filter pressure sensor D if the signal stays low
