DPF sensor location

Hi guys, I am driving a 2010 LR2... as far as I know, I dont have a DPF... but yet today I had all the reduced engine power warnings with a code referring to "diesel particullate filter differential pressure too low", so naturally... I am very confused.

I dont have a chance to get under the car, because it is wet, and I am in the middle of a forest... is there any way to get eyes on the sensor? where in the engine bay is it located?

Thanks for the help, hope you are all having a brilliant weekend : )

Some overseas markets did have them and you could also spec one if you wanted one, so yours could indeed have one?

it would indeed seem that I do, as I am getting codes:

P244A Diesel particulate filter differential pressure too low (Bank 1)
P2453 Diesel particulate filter differential pressure sensor - circuit range/performance

I would still like to have a peek at the sensor, shouldnt be too hard to swap out? Does it need calibrating etc?

well, I got under the car today, as I had to change to studded tyres and redo all the brakepads... I had a look at the DPF sensor, and there doesnt appear to be anything wrong with it.. everything is connected, no leaky hoses.

I am dropping a couple of AMP's on my battery, and after resetting the codes on the ECU, I am back to "pending" on P244A. Any ideas?

I had something similar on my 2011 with a DPF. Here the codes were apparently misleading.

I forgot to add that the dealer also changed the DPF hose as it was perished. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto
5 x FL2 4 manual + 1 auto

Thanks for the info : ) Looks like I am not going to get away with this one on the floor under the car... will book in and update the thread when I know what is going on.

uodate - SOLVED

turned out I had the same problem as DORSETFREELANDER

perished hose, fixed for free by my local dealer, he put a rubber brakeline on there, no need for clips. so just pull the bad stuff, off, push on the rubber brake hose, clear the codes using a cheap dongle and mobile app, and you are good to go.

You dont need to take off the "protection" plate, just get your hand in there, although it helps a lot if you have a lift.
