FSB 284-069, Exhaust Particulate Sensor, Repair
(2017 Vehicles)
(November 2018)
Some trucks built between 1/1/2017 and 11/15/2017 may experience a Particulate Matter
(PM) Sensor fault that can result in the MIL lamp illuminating. These faults may be P24DA,
“PM Sensor Exhaust Sample Error,” or P24D1, “PM Sensor Regen Incomplete.” These faults
may be caused by contamination of the PM sensor. In order to reduce the likelihood of
sensor contamination, new exhaust pipe parts are being made available that contain an
internal water management feature along with an integrated drain that will prevent
contamination of the sensor. If either of these two faults occur, follow the instructions outlined
in this bulletin to clean the exhaust pipes and install a new exhaust pipe with the new
contamination prevention measures.
