DPFE Sensor Upstream Hose Off or Plugged
on 2011 Ford Focus 2.0L I4 Duratec · FWD
What this code means
The DPFE sensor upstream hose is disconnected or plugged. This prevents the sensor from accurately measuring exhaust backpressure before the EGR orifice.
Symptoms
- Check Engine Light
- Poor EGR flow control
- Rough idle
- Failed emissions
- Reduced power
Common causes
- Disconnected upstream DPFE hose
- Plugged upstream DPFE hose (carbon buildup)
- Cracked hose
- Faulty DPFE sensor
Diagnostic steps
- Visually inspect upstream DPFE hose (hose closer to exhaust manifold)
- Check for carbon blockage in hose
- Blow through hose to verify flow
- Replace hose if cracked or deteriorated
- Test DPFE sensor if hoses are OK
Repair notes
Reconnect or replace DPFE upstream hose. Clean carbon from hose. Replace DPFE sensor if hoses are good.
