How to solve the Jiangling P2463 fault code?
2 Answers
P2463 fault code applies to all automobile manufacturers, meaning Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) restriction - ash accumulation. When clearing the code, it must be strictly carried out according to the specified clearing method for the specific vehicle model's fault code. Never attempt to clear the fault code by disconnecting the battery's negative terminal cable at will. The function of the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is to remove particulate pollutants and soot from diesel engine exhaust. It is divided into two types: regenerating and non-regenerating.
I drove a Jiangling pickup truck for cargo hauling for several years and often encountered the P2463 trouble code. It mainly indicates that the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is clogged, and you need to address it promptly; otherwise, the exhaust flow will be restricted, causing the engine to feel sluggish. The simplest solution is to drive on the highway, maintaining a speed above 2000 RPM for about 30-40 minutes, allowing the high temperature to automatically burn off the accumulated soot and regenerate the filter. If that doesn’t work, the sensor might be faulty, or the filter could be completely blocked, requiring a professional repair shop to diagnose it with a scanner or perform a cleaning. For prevention, if you frequently drive short distances, try to take a highway trip once a week to avoid recurrence. Don’t delay addressing the issue, as it can lead to increased fuel consumption and engine damage, costing more money and hassle. Remember, Jiangling’s DPF system is quite sensitive, so regular maintenance can save you a lot of trouble.
