Diagnostic support note
•  This is a continuous monitor (CCM).
•  The check engine light illuminates if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition during the first drive cycle.
•  FREEZE FRAME DATA/Snapshot data is available.
•  DTC is stored in the PCM memory.
FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION
•  Limits the engine torque/limits the maximum engine speed.
•  Inhibits the automatic diesel particulate filter regeneration control.
•  Inhibits the manual diesel particulate filter regeneration control.
•  Inhibits the EGR control.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
•  PCM input signal error
―  Exhaust gas pressure sensor No.2 signal
―  Input signal part connector or terminal malfunction
―  Input signal part-related wiring harness malfunction
•  Exhaust gas leakage from exhaust system
•  Pipe clogging, damage or erroneous piping between exhaust gas pressure sensor No.2 and catalytic converter
•  Exhaust gas pressure sensor No.2 malfunction
•  Catalytic converter or diesel particulate filter malfunction (deformation, damage)
•  PCM malfunction

Diagnostic Procedure

Step

Inspection

Results

Action

1
RECORD VEHICLE STATUS WHEN DTC WAS DETECTED TO UTILIZE WITH REPEATABILITY VERIFICATION
Note
•  Recording can be facilitated using the screen capture function of the PC.
•  Record the freeze frame data/snap shot data.
Go to the next step.
2
VERIFY OTHER RELATED DTCs
•  Switch the ignition OFF, and then switch it ON (engine off).
•  Display the DTCs using the M-MDS.
•  Has any DTC other than P244A:00 been stored?
Yes
Repair the malfunctioning location according to the applicable DTC troubleshooting.
No
Go to the next step.
3
VERIFY INPUT SIGNAL CONDITION
•  Start the engine.
•  Display the following PIDs using the M-MDS.
―  EXHPRESS_DIF
•  Is the PID within the specification?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Inspect the related sensors and wiring harnesses.
•  Malfunction in the sensor or wiring harness:
―  Repair or replace the malfunctioning location, then go to Step 7.
•  No malfunction in the sensor, wiring harness:
―  Go to the next step.
4
INSPECT FOR EXHAUST GAS LEAKAGE FROM EXHAUST SYSTEM
•  Visually inspect for exhaust gas leakage from exhaust system.
•  Is the intake air system normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair or replace the malfunctioning location, then go to Step 7.
5
INSPECT EXHAUST GAS PRESSURE SENSOR NO.2-RELATED PIPING
•  Visually inspect the exhaust gas pressure sensor No.2-related piping for damage, loss, or erroneous piping.
•  Is the exhaust gas pressure sensor No.2-related piping normal?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair or replace the malfunctioning location, then go to Step 7.
6
INSPECT EXHAUST GAS PRESSURE SENSOR NO.2
•  Reconnect all disconnected connectors and hoses.
•  Inspect exhaust gas pressure sensor No.2.
•  Is exhaust gas pressure sensor No.2 normal?
Yes
Malfunction in the catalytic converter or the diesel particulate filter in the catalytic converter can be considered.
•  Replace the catalytic converter, then go to the next step.
No
Replace exhaust gas pressure sensor No.2, then go to the next step.
7
VERIFY THAT REPAIRS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED
•  Reconnect all disconnected connectors and hoses.
•  Refer to the [MEMORY CLEARING PROCEDURE] and clear the DTC.
•  Display PID EXHPRESS_DIF using the M-MDS.
•  Start the engine.
•  Race the engine at 3,500 rpm or more for 1 min.
•  Verify that the EXHPRESS_DIF PID value is 0.2 kPa or more.
•  Display the DTCs using the M-MDS.
•  Has DTC P244A:00 been recorded?
Yes
Repeat the inspection from Step 1.
•  If the malfunction recurs, replace the PCM, then go to the next step.
No
Go to the next step.
8
VERIFY OTHER DTCs
•  Has any other DTC or pending code been stored?
Yes
Repair the malfunctioning location according to the applicable DTC troubleshooting.
No
DTC troubleshooting completed.
