DPF Pressure Sensor Calibration

[NethanB]

Car: Audi A4 B8 - 2010 - 2.0 TDie

Recently the engine management light has appeared on my dashboard, i have scanned with VCDS, the result:

Address 01: Engine (J623-CAGB)
2 Faults Found:
5262 - Diesel Particle Filter; Differential Pressure Sensor
P2454 00 [168] - Short to GND
MIL ON - Intermittent - Confirmed - Tested Since Memory Clear
Freeze Frame:
Fault Status: 00000001
Fault Priority: 2
Fault Frequency: 88
Mileage: 119036 km
Date: 2015.03.28
Time: 13:33:12

5162 - Diesel Particle Filter; Differential Pressure Sensor
P2453 00 [096] - Implausible Signal
Intermittent - Not Confirmed - Tested Since Memory Clear
Readiness: 1 1 0 0 0

I have bought the replacement sensor, part number: 059 906 051 A

Now the question is, does anyone know how or if the sensor will need calibrating once installed??

I have VCDS and the mechanic I intend to visit has Snap-On, but between us we are not 100%

Any advice is greatly appreciated

No sensor doesn't require calibration just swap over the same as a boost sensor or MAF.

Ditto it just bolts straight on. One caveat though which may come in handy for others reading this thread - I had the same problem with the same sensor on my old A3 - although the car appears to be driveable with the light on, the ECU will suddenly throttle back the engine without warning under high load to protect the DPF/CAT. Not the sort of thing you want happening in the outside lane of the motorway or during an overtake.....you have been warned!

I haven't experienced that yet and recently went on a 400mile round trip without issue

When i originally phoned Audi for the quote on replacing the sensor they said the pricing included the part, labour, calibration and forced regen

The only other advice i have had is when i remove the old sensor to blast down the hoses with compressed air to clear anything in the pipes...

Some times just have to go into adaption on vcds

And do what? Also I assume you mean under the engine module?
