P2455 Code - Diesel Particulate Filter Pressure Sensor 'A' Circuit High

Quick Answer

The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors the rationality of the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) pressure sensor during idle and part load operating conditions. Common causes include Faulty Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Pressure Sensor, Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Pressure Sensor harness is open or shorted, Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Pressure Sensor circuit poor electrical connection. Severity is High - diagnose this code as soon as possible. Driving is not recommended if the warning light is flashing, the engine runs poorly, or safety-related symptoms are present.

Code P2455 Description

The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors the rationality of the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) pressure sensor during idle and part load operating conditions. The test fails when the diesel particulate filter pressure sensor signal value at idle is less than 0.15 kPa (0.022 psi). The test also fails when the diesel particulate filter pressure sensor signal value at part load is less than a minimum value or greater than a maximum value. These minimum and maximum values are based on the volume of exhaust.
