Description
The PAI 853758 is a DPF (diesel particulate filter) delta pressure sensor for 2010 and newer Mack and Volvo heavy-duty trucks, replacing Mack 23488881 and Volvo 21403962. The sensor measures pressure differential across the DPF and feeds data to the ECM to trigger active regeneration when soot loading reaches the threshold. Backed by PAI’s 2-year unlimited mileage warranty.
Signs You Need a New DPF Pressure Sensor
- Check engine light with DPF-related fault codes
- Frequent or incomplete regeneration cycles
- Engine derate or reduced power warnings
- Truck enters limp mode due to aftertreatment faults
- Erratic DPF soot level readings on diagnostic scan
