According to my Haynes repair manual - the DPFE sensor monitors upstream ( before ) and downstream ( after ) exhaust backpressure . By calculating the difference between the two pressures , the PCM determines exactly the EGR flow rate at all driving conditions
You have restriction in the exhaust somewhere and it's causing it to backflow.
Dpfe sensor is the delta (differential) pressure feedback egr (exhaust gas recirculation) it monitors the pressure on the egr valve to make sure it is working.
This sensor varifies flow of the exhaust gases to the intake manifold. If flow is interupted the sensor will inform the onboard computer that the exhaust recirculation system has failed resulting in a check engine light to come on.
The exhaust back pressure sensor on a 2006 6.0 diesel Ford F3 50 can be located near the exhaust manifold. The sensor is a probe that can be removed by loosening the nut.
A Ford diesel diagnostic code P0470 means there is an exhaust pressure sensor malfunction. This may be caused by faulty exhaust back pressure sensor, or pressure sensor is open or shorted.
Is there a differental pressure sensor in 91 towncar
AnswerThe DPFE sensor is located next to the EGR vacuum regulator. The DPFE sensor is a rectangular box shaped sensor, held on by 2 nuts. It has two exhaust lines going to the EGR tube. This sensor is on 1996 and later models. joedi (edit: changed 1997 to 1996) joker_102877
the sensor is under the exhaust manifold at the rear of the engine
Oxygen sensor
Right below the engine on the exhaust pipe.
P1401 is DPFE Sensor Circuit High Faulty Differential Pressure Feedback Electronic (DPFE) sensor. Loose of disconnected wiring to the sensor
mass air sensor or purge valve sensor could be a bad fuel pressure regulator
