What is DPF ash accumulation?

What is DPF ash accumulation?

Ash accumulates in the DPF over extended use, as the incombustible material left behind following filter regeneration and soot oxidation. The ash consists of various metallic compounds originating from lubricant additives, trace elements in the fuel, and engine wear and corrosion products.

When to change the DPF code p242f?

Code P242F will set when the soot / ash levels in the aftertreatment diesel particulate filter system have went beyond the most severe possible. Correction requires DPF replacement.

What does p242f mean in diesel particulate filter?

Although generic, the specific repair steps may vary depending on make/model. On rare occasions, when I have discovered a stored P242F code, it has meant that the powertrain control module (PCM) has detected a level of ash restriction in the diesel particulate filter (DPF) deemed to be restrictive.

What does p242f mean in Powertrain Control Module?

P242F Meaning The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors the pressure decrease at the diesel particulate filter following a diesel particulate filter regeneration for a concern. The PCM calculates the amount of ash and the pressure increase the ash generates in the diesel particulate filter.

What does p242f mean on a Ford Mustang?

P242F FORD Meaning The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors the pressure decrease at the diesel particulate filter following a diesel particulate filter regeneration for a concern. The PCM calculates the amount of ash and the pressure increase the ash generates in the diesel particulate filter.
