Hello folks,
Any suggestions/ideas on Error code P2454?..
Apparently I need to "Replace Diesel Particulate Filter Sensor w/P2453"..... does any one have any experience on this fix... level of difficulty... I also came across some youTube videos suggesting a "flush"?.. although it was for a Sprinter...
Thank you.

Thank you.

There are no "P" codes for diesel engines. Diesel eng. have six numerical & alphabetical codes. See sample above.

It most certainly did not. Look at the photo, it has the oil cap directly in front of the air box to remove.

Insurer, it is up to you to find the post you are referring to and quote it, then ask your question. No one wants to read 15 posts to find what you mean.
