P244B: Diesel Particulate Filter Differential Pressure Too High (Bank 1)
Aukštas SunkumasSaugu važiuoti (trumpai)Emisijos
P244B means the differential pressure across the diesel particulate filter is higher than the ECU expects, indicating the filter is heavily loaded with soot. The most common cause is a DPF that has failed to complete its passive regeneration cycle because the vehicle is driven mostly on short urban trips. Less commonly, the pressure sensor itself is reading high, the DPF substrate has melted or cracked internally, or there is a downstream exhaust restriction.

Ką reiškia P244B?
P244B means the differential pressure across the diesel particulate filter is higher than the ECU expects, indicating the filter is heavily loaded with soot.

Less commonly, the pressure sensor itself is reading high, the DPF substrate has melted or cracked internally, or there is a downstream exhaust restriction.
P244B yra su emisijos susijęs diagnostikos gedimų kodas, klasifikuojamas kaip high sunkumo. Kai jūsų automobilio valdymo blokas aptinka šią būklę, jis išsaugo P244B ir uždega variklio kontrolės lemputę.
Kokie yra P244B simptomai?
Jei jūsų automobilis suaktyvino P244B, galite pastebėti vieną ar kelis iš šių simptomų:
Check engine light
Noticeable loss of power and slow throttle response
DPF warning light or message on dash
Engine running rough at idle or under load
Black smoke from exhaust under acceleration
Fuel economy drops by 10 to 20 percent
On severe blockage: limp mode (engine power reduced to 50 percent or less)
Kas sukelia P244B?
Čia pateikiamos dažniausios P244B priežastys, surikiuotos pagal tikimybę:
didelėHeavy soot loading from short-trip driving that prevents regeneration
didelėFailed or incomplete regeneration cycles (interrupted by stopping the engine mid-regen)
vidutinėFaulty differential pressure sensor reading high
vidutinėCracked or melted DPF substrate after a catastrophic regeneration event
Paprastai taip, trumpam laikotarpiui. Drivable in the short term, but treat as a priority repair. A heavily clogged DPF restricts exhaust flow, causes loss of power, can damage the turbocharger, and on some vehicles triggers limp mode after several drive cycles. Repair within days, not weeks.
Kaip diagnozuojamas P244B?
Atlikite šiuos žingsnius, kad nustatytumėte pagrindinę P244B priežastį:
Read live data: DPF soot mass (grams), distance since last regeneration, count of completed regenerations, and current differential pressure. A soot mass above 30 to 40 grams with no recent regeneration confirms the filter is overloaded
Before any parts replacement, attempt a forced regeneration with a scan tool that supports it (most independent garages have this capability). A successful forced regen drops the soot mass to under 5 grams and can resolve P244B without further repair, especially on a vehicle that has been driven on short trips
If forced regeneration fails or the soot mass refuses to drop, the DPF is either physically damaged or so loaded that off-vehicle cleaning is needed. Off-vehicle cleaning takes 1 to 2 days at a specialist and saves 60 to 80 percent versus DPF replacement
Compare the differential pressure reading to manufacturer specification at idle. A reading that is high at idle but normal under load points to a faulty sensor rather than a clogged filter. The sensor is far cheaper to replace than the DPF
Inspect the DPF substrate with a borescope through the inlet flange. A cracked or melted substrate is visible and cannot be cleaned, only replaced. Catastrophic regeneration events (often after a misfire or rich condition) destroy the substrate
Confirm there is no downstream restriction by checking the exhaust system from DPF outlet to tailpipe. A collapsed muffler or crushed pipe section will mimic a clogged DPF

P244B BMW 3 Series Diesel
BMW 3 Series • 2009-2024
BMW diesels with the N47, N57 and B47 engines are sensitive to short-trip duty cycles. P244B on a BMW used as a daily commuter for sub-15-minute trips is almost a certainty by 150,000 km. BMW dealers quote 2,200 to 3,500 euros for an OEM DPF replacement; independent specialists can clean the existing filter for 350 to 600 euros and re-fit it.

Volkswagen Passat • 2008-2024
Passat 2.0 TDI EA189 and EA288 DPFs respond well to forced regeneration on a scan tool. Many independent VAG specialists in Poland and Lithuania offer this service for 60 to 100 euros. Aftermarket type-approved DPF replacements from Klarius or Walker for the Passat run 700 to 1,200 euros parts compared to 1,800 to 2,600 euros at a VW dealer.

P244B Mercedes-Benz Sprinter
Mercedes-Benz Sprinter • 2010-2024
Sprinter OM651 and OM642 DPFs clog faster than passenger-car filters because the duty cycle is heavy stop-start delivery work. OEM Mercedes DPF replacement on a Sprinter runs 2,500 to 4,000 euros. Off-vehicle cleaning is the standard fix, costing 400 to 700 euros at a Mercedes specialist. Aftermarket alternatives exist but the quality variation is wider than on passenger cars.

P244B Volvo XC60 D5
Volvo XC60 • 2010-2024
Volvo D5 DPFs accumulate soot more slowly than VAG or BMW units because the engine runs hotter at idle. P244B on a Volvo D5 is more often a faulty pressure sensor than a genuinely clogged filter. Verify by checking the soot mass live data value against actual differential pressure at multiple load points before condemning the DPF.

Susiję diagnostikos kodai
Šie kodai dažnai pasirodo kartu su P244B arba rodo susijusias problemas:
P244B means too much pressure differential across the diesel particulate filter, which the ECU interprets as a heavily clogged filter. The usual cause is short-trip driving that does not let the DPF reach the temperature needed for self-cleaning regeneration. The filter slowly accumulates soot until the ECU triggers the code.
Can I drive with P244B?
Short distances yes, but treat it as urgent. A clogged DPF restricts exhaust flow, costs you fuel economy, and can damage the turbo if left untreated. Some vehicles drop into limp mode after several drive cycles with P244B active. Fix it within days, not weeks.
Will a forced regeneration fix P244B?
Often yes on a filter that is clogged but not damaged. A forced regeneration at an independent diesel specialist costs 60 to 200 euros and takes around 45 minutes. The technician runs a scan tool command that holds the engine at high RPM until exhaust temperature reaches 600 to 650 degrees Celsius, burning off accumulated soot. If the soot mass refuses to drop or the code returns within a week, off-vehicle cleaning or replacement is needed.
How much does DPF cleaning cost in Europe?
Off-vehicle cleaning at a diesel specialist costs 250 to 700 euros including removal and refitting, and saves 60 to 80 percent versus replacement. Ultrasonic and thermal cleaning processes both work. The job takes 1 to 2 days because the filter sits in the cleaning bath. Polish specialists tend to be the cheapest, German the most expensive, but quality varies by shop.
Why does my DPF keep clogging?
Short-trip driving is the primary cause. The DPF needs around 30 minutes of continuous driving at motorway speed to reach the temperature for passive regeneration. City-only driving never gets there, so the filter relies on active regenerations triggered by the ECU, which only happen when conditions are right. Once a week, take the car on a 30-minute motorway run at 100 km/h or more to let the filter clean itself. This habit alone prevents most P244B cases.
