Introduction The P2452 diagnostic trouble code (DTC) indicates a problem detected in the diesel particulate filter (DPF) pressure sensor A circuit. This code applies to diesel vehicles equipped with a DPF system for reducing exhaust particulate emissions. When the P2452 code sets, it's crucial to diagnose and fix the issue quickly to avoid potential damage

Urgency and Drivability The P2263 code is considered a serious issue that requires immediate attention. While the vehicle may still be drivable, it's not recommended to continue driving due to the risk of engine stalling or shutting off while in operation. Limiting driving until diagnosis and repair are completed is essential for safety and to
