Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, inspect the hose/pipes to the DPF pressure sensor for leaks, or restrictions.
- If a condition is found, repair as necessary.
- Ignition OFF, and the MAIN fuse removed, disconnect the harness connector at the DPF sensor.
- Test for less than 5 ohms of resistance between the low reference circuit terminal 2 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Install the MAIN fuse. Ignition ON, test for 4.8-5.2 volts between the 5-volt reference circuit terminal 1 and ground.
- If less than the specified range, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to ground or open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- If greater than the specified range, test the 5-volt reference circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Verify the scan tool DPF sensor parameter is less than 7 kPa (1 psi).
- If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 3 and the ground circuit terminal 2. Verify the DPF sensor parameter is greater than 10 kPa (1.5 psi).
- If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Ignition OFF, connect the harness connector at the DPF pressure sensor.
- Ignition ON, observe the scan tool DPF pressure sensor parameter. The scan tool should display 0.5 volts.
- If greater than the specified range, replace the DPF sensor.
- If all circuit tests normal, test or replace the DPF.
