DTC P242F:00

Diesel particulate filter restriction—ash accumulation

DETECTION CONDITION
•  The PCM calculates the diesel particulate filter ash accumulation based on the exhaust gas pressure sensor signal. If the PCM calculates that the ash accumulation amount is more than 17 g/L {1.06 lb/ft3}, the PCM determines that the diesel particulate filter ash accumulation excessive.
Diagnostic support note
•  The MIL illuminates if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition during the first drive cycle.
•  FREEZE FRAME DATA (Mode 2)/Snapshot data is available.
•  The DTC is stored in the PCM memory.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
•  DTC for MIL illumination is recorded
•  The vehicle is driven while the DPF indicator light is on
•  PCM malfunction
