DESCRIPTION
- HINT:
- For more information on the differential pressure sensor assembly and Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), refer to the following procedures (HILUX_TGN26 RM000000XSN02CX.html).
- If P2454 and/or P2455 is present, refer to the DTC chart for DPF system (HILUX_TGN26 RM000000XSN02CX.html).
The two sensing chambers of the differential pressure sensor assembly are mounted to monitor the pressure before and after the DPF catalytic converter. The sensor itself is not located on the engine assembly in order to reduce the influence of vibration.The ECM compares the exhaust gas pressure before and after the DPF catalytic converter by monitoring the pressure using the upstream and downstream sensing chambers of the differential pressure sensor assembly. If the difference in pressure exceeds a predetermined level, the ECM judges that the catalytic converter is clogged with particulate matter (PM). When the ECM judges that a partially clogged condition exists, the ECM begins to perform PM forced regeneration.When the output voltage of the sensor deviates from the normal operating range, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction of the sensor circuit, and sets DTC P2454 or P2455, and illuminates the MIL.- HINT:
- If the vacuum hoses of the differential pressure sensor assembly are incorrectly connected (crossed), the ECM interprets this as an abnormal pressure difference, DTC P2453 (Diesel Particulate Filter Pressure Sensor "A" Circuit Range/Performance) is stored and the MIL illuminates.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION
In order to detect abnormality in the differential pressure sensor assembly, the ECM always monitors the output voltage from the sensor. When the sensor output voltage deviates from the normal operating range (between 0.4 V and 4.8 V) for more than 3 seconds, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction in the sensor circuit and illuminates the MIL.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
- NOTICE:
- Inspect the fuses of circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.
- After replacing the ECM, the new ECM needs registration (HILUX_TGN26 RM0000012XK070X.html) and initialization (HILUX_TGN26 RM000000TIN057X.html).
- After replacing the fuel supply pump assembly, the ECM needs initialization (HILUX_TGN26 RM000000TIN057X.html).
- After replacing an injector assembly, the ECM needs registration (HILUX_TGN26 RM0000012XK070X.html).
- HINT:
- Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
