P2459 Mazda Diesel Particulate Filter Regeneration Frequency

P2459 Mazda Diesel Particulate Filter Regeneration Frequency

Possible causes
– Exhaust leak
– Improperly installed or loose Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT)
– Low engine compression
– Corroed fuel injector
– Water in the fuel system
What about the obd code?
The P2459 Mazda will set if the Engine Control Module (ECM) detects that the average time between completed regenerations is less than a calibrated threshold.

P2459 Mazda Description

The particulates in the exhaust gases are collected by the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). When the filter becomes saturated with particulates, they are incinerated by a regeneration process. The regeneration process increases the exhaust gas temperature, warning the Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) first, the warning the DPF. The Engine Control Module (ECM) monitors the system with inputs from two Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) sensors 1 and 2 and the exhaust differential pressure sensor.
