tractor Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 The P2459 error is one that you cannot clear yourself. Does it have to go through several regens before it's satisfied that the fault has been rectified? I wonder if resetting the learned values for the DPF would reset the DTC code....I wouldn't bother with ford if it was me, I would reset the learned DPF values and hopfully that would remove the code, which would make sense as this code is based on an average and historical data, if you remove that data theres no low values pulling the average down if it returns then.......I just found this through google, so could be one of these cause a frequent regen Possible causes - Exhaust leak - Improperly installed or loose Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) - Low engine compression - Corroed fuel injector - Water in the fuel system Read more: http://engine-codes.com/p2459_ford.html#ixzz3PS1MV6Fa trac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dee_82 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Resetting the learned dpf values will change the distance until dpf full value, it calculates this again with some funky maths based on pressure difference but it takes ages to sort, I had to drive about 400 miles before it normalized, originally it was show about 2000 miles left before full, after i reset it changed to 4000, at this point figured to hell with it, spent enough time worry about it, so I "fixed" it :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbeer Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Hi All, Ok managed to get some time to myself soplayed with the FORscan software, I like it a lot for diagnosing stuff....only down side is I found a bunch of DTC Codes link to thread Anyway I did a Live Data scan of my EGR Value and wondered if anyone can tell me if this is good or bad? I'm planning on using Wynn's EGR Cleaner so just thought I'd do a before and after and see if it has improved etc... C+C welcome of course Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 That looks to me like the vacuum of the he egr. It looks right though as the egr opens and closes and it seems very. Much flowing and not Jerky in its movements, so I would say if you have no issues it looks to be working well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbeer Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Great thanks mate, still going to clean the EGR but not going to use the entire can which is what it says on the can. Hopefully this is the fruits of also using only premium fuels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 To be honest matey you might as well use the full can and then consider using the egr blank. Once you start the can the compound can break down as the accelerant is higher concentration Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveGSXR600K1 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Hi Jason, It would be handy to see RPM on the oscilloscope to see what the EGR is doing at certain revs. Also good to see the other EGR options on there as well. I tried EGR TP, not sure what this shows as mine stayed at 2%. I'm tempted to have my car Terraclean'd to see how good it is, and how much difference it makes, but I want to change the car.

jeebowhite Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Only get terraclean if your going to keep the car. At 100 odd quid, its not worth just giving that to a buyer who won't appreciate it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1.6 tdci zetec s Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Any one got the link for the elm 327 off eBay? Thanks in advance 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee_82 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 you should use the commanded EGR and actual EGR as well as RPM, it will give you a much better idea what's going on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
