Particulate Matter (PM) Sensor Troubleshooting
Guide - US14+OBD16 And Newer Emissions
This guide should be used to determine if the PM sensor should be replaced based on the DTC(s)
present on a readout.
Replacement Information
IMPORTANT
The PM Sensor is a smart sensor that reads solid matter (particulates) instead of a gas like most other
smart sensors. Because of this care must be given when handling these sensors.
• Handle with extreme care. Sensors contain a ceramic element that is fragile.
• Never use a lubricant on the sensor threads or tip.
• Proper Orientation of the sensor is required.
• Replacement instructions can be found under the Service tab in Impact.
• DO NOT CUT THE HARNESS when initially attempting to remove the sensor. A 22 mm Oxygen
Sensor socket should be used first to keep the harness intact.
• If damage to the threads occurs when removing the sensor, replace the bung as outlined in FSB 258039 SCR Fittings, One Box, Replacement. PM, NOx and Temperature Sensor Fittings, found under the
service tab in Impact.
• If multiple PM sensor failures have been experienced, check for water damage as outlined in FSB
284-069 Exhaust Particulate Sensor, Repair (2017 Vehicles), found under the service tab in Impact.
