Mazda Factory OBD-II DTC P2455 Code Diagnostic Procedure

Mazda P2455 Diesel particulate filter differential pressure sensor circuit high input
DETECTION CONDITION
•  The PCM monitors the diesel particulate filter differential pressure sensor signal. If the voltage at PCM terminal 207, 246 and 119 remains high, the PCM determines that there is a diesel particulate filter differential pressure sensor circuit malfunction.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
•  Diesel particulate filter differential pressure sensor malfunction
•  Connector or terminal malfunction
•  Short to power supply in the wiring harness between diesel particulate filter differential pressure sensor terminal C and PCM terminal 246
•  Open circuit in the wiring harness between diesel particulate filter differential pressure sensor terminal B and PCM terminal 119
•  PCM malfunction
