DTC P2453 Diesel Particulate Filter Pressure Sensor "A" Circuit Range/Performance |
DESCRIPTION
- HINT:
- For more information on the differential pressure sensor assembly and Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), refer to the following procedures (HILUX_TGN26 RM000000XSN02BX.html).
- If P2453 is present, refer to the DTC chart for DPF system (HILUX_TGN26 RM000000XSN02BX.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 sensor is a semiconductor-type that is not influenced by exhaust gases.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 between the pressure before and after the catalytic converter 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.- 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.

- HINT:
- DTC P2454 (Diesel Particulate Filter Pressure Sensor "A" Circuit Low) and/or DTC P2455 (Diesel Particulate Filter Pressure Sensor "A" Circuit High) will be stored if there is an open or short malfunction in the differential pressure sensor assembly circuit.
- After confirming DTC P2453, check the differential pressure in "Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / DPF Differential Pressure" using the intelligent tester.

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 is a reversal of positive and negative pressure, the ECM interprets this as an incorrect vacuum hose arrangement of the sensor, or determines that the vacuum hoses are clogged, 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 RM0000012XK07EX.html) and initialization (HILUX_TGN26 RM000000TIN056X.html).
- After replacing the fuel supply pump assembly, the ECM needs initialization (HILUX_TGN26 RM000000TIN056X.html).
- After replacing an injector assembly, the ECM needs registration (HILUX_TGN26 RM0000012XK07EX.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.
1.CHECK OTHER DTC OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P2453) |
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the intelligent tester on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / DTC.
Read the DTCs.

- HINT:
- If codes other than P2453 are output, perform troubleshooting for those DTCs first.
2.CHECK CONNECTION OF VACUUM HOSE (DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE SENSOR - VACUUM TRANSMITTING PIPE) |
Check if the vacuum hose routing between the differential pressure sensor assembly and vacuum transmitting pipe is correct (HILUX_TGN26 RM000003TI300KX_01_0001.html).
Check that there is no exhaust gas leakage between the differential pressure sensor assembly and vacuum transmitting pipe.
3.CHECK BLOCKAGE OF VACUUM HOSE AND TRANSMITTING PIPE |
- CAUTION:
- Be careful of being burned by exhaust gases during the following inspection.
Disconnect the vacuum hoses (both upstream and downstream) from the differential pressure sensor assembly.
Start the engine.
Check if there are exhaust gas pulsations from both vacuum hoses during idling.
- OK:
- Exhaust gas pulsation exists.
4.READ VALUE USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (DPF DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE) |
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the intelligent tester on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / DPF Differential Pressure.
Check that the differential pressure is as specified below.

8.CONFIRM WHETHER MALFUNCTION HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY REPAIRED |
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the intelligent tester on.
Clear the DTCs (HILUX_TGN26 RM000000PDK12QX.html).
Turn the ignition switch off for 30 seconds or more.
Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the intelligent tester on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / DPF Differential Pressure.
Check that the differential pressure is as specified below.
- HINT:
- As long as the pipe connections are correct, the displayed pressure will not be vacuum pressure.
- For reference result of real-vehicle check is as shown in the table below:

Start the engine.
Engine is running at 4000 rpm with no load for 10 seconds or more.
Confirm that the DTC is not output again.
- HINT:
- Perform the following procedure using the tester to determine whether or not the DTC judgment has been carried out.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Utility / All Readiness.
Input DTC P2453.
Check that STATUS is NORMAL. If STATUS is INCOMPLETE or N/A, run the engine at 4000 rpm with no load for 10 seconds or more.
