Diesel particulate sensor: Notes

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2017 BMW X3, 2016 BMW X3, 2015 BMW X3, 2014 BMW X3, and 2013 BMW X3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The diesel particulate sensor, which is installed in the exhaust system downstream of the SCR catalytic converter (e.g. F30), allows diagnosis of the diesel particulate filter. The function of the diesel particulate sensor is based on a resistance measurement.

NOTE: The installation location of the sensor depends on the exhaust system. Observe installation location by means of the wiring diagram!
