Where is the DPF pressure sensor located?

engine compartment

The DPF differential pressure sensor is usually mounted in the engine compartment to protect it from heat. The sensor is connected to the engine control unit (ECU) by an electrical connector and connected to the DPF via two silicon hoses.

What causes low DPF pressure?

A DPF pressure drop increases with increase in the soot mass accumulated in the DPF. Small soot mass accumulation results in lower DPF pressure drop, while high soot mass accumulation would yield higher DPF pressure.

Can you clean a DPF pressure sensor?

In order to burn it clean, the de-installed DPF is put in a burning oven, where it is heated until all remaining soot is burned to ashes. Subsequently, the filter is blown clean with pressurised air until all ashes are completely removed. Rinsing is in fact blowing the filter clean with a watery cleaning solution.
