This is the MK8 transit equipped with SID209 which was produced from 2013 to 2016.

2.2 TDCI engine is one of the most common engines.

Common DTCs for Ford Transit: 

P0087: Fuel Rail/System Pressure Too Low

  • Likely cause: Weak fuel pump, blocked filter, injector leak

P0191: Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor Range/Performance

  • Likely cause: Sensor fault or wiring issue

P0299: Turbo/Supercharger Underboost

  • Likely cause: Leaking intercooler hose, actuator fault, stuck turbo vanes

P0234: Turbocharger Overboost

  • Likely cause: Wastegate actuator stuck or MAP sensor error

P2563: Turbo Boost Control Position Sensor A Circuit

  • Likely cause: Actuator position sensor or turbo control solenoid

 

P2463: Diesel Particulate Filter Soot Accumulation

  • DPF overloaded (too much soot), failed regens

P2002: DPF pressure below threshold

  • Poor DPF regen, pressure sensor fault

P2452: DPF Differential Pressure Sensor Circuit

  • Open circuit, corrosion, wiring issue
  • DPF Differential Pressure Sensor Range/Performance
  • Out-of-range voltage or sensor drift

P2033: Exhaust Gas Temp Sensor Circuit High (Bank 1 Sensor 2)

  • Sensor open circuit

P242A / P242B: Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor Fault (Bank 1, Sensor 3/4)

  • Failed temp sensor. These sensors monitor DPF temp during regen.

P2459: DPF Regeneration Frequency Too High

  • Indicates regen attempts too often, clean DPF.

P204F: Reductant System Performance (SCR + DPF link)

 

P0401: EGR Flow Insufficient Detected

  • Carbon blockage, stuck-closed valve, split hose

P0402: EGR Flow Excessive Detected

  • Valve stuck open or feedback sensor fault

P0403: EGR Control Circuit

  • Electrical fault in solenoid or stepper motor

P0405: EGR Position Sensor Circuit Low

  • Feedback signal short to ground

P0409: EGR Sensor A Circuit

  • Circuit malfunction in position sensor

P2457: EGR Cooler Efficiency Below Threshold

  • Blocked cooler or coolant flow problem

P0489: EGR Control Circuit Low

  • EGR actuator short to ground
  • EGR Bypass Valve “A” Control Circuit Range/Perf
  • Faulty bypass actuator or stuck flap

P0408: EGR Sensor “B” Circuit High

  • Sensor voltage lower than expected.

P046C / P046D: EGR Sensor Correlation / Stuck

  • EGR position mismatch

ECU Tuning solution for Ford Transit 

EGR removal solution

  1. Use a scanner or diagnosis tool and make a list of EGR related fault codes.
  2. Read the ECU using OBD or Bench/Boot.
  3. Upload the file.
  4. After receiving the file, write it using the same protocol you read the file.

DPF removal solution

  1. Use a scanner or diagnosis tool and make a list of DPF related fault codes.
  2. Read the ECU using OBD or Bench/Boot.
  3. Try to make a force regeneration using scanner with the original file. Do all related resets.
  4. Upload the file.
  5. After receiving the file, write it using the same protocol you read the file.
  6. After writing the file, clear fault codes.

Note: Before writing the modified file, you must disconnect DPF temperature and pressure sensors.

Location of sensors in Ford Transit

For this ECU and based on the script we use to modify its ECU file, there is no need to disconnect any EGR sensors or actuators. Therefore, we do not cover the EGR related sensors in this guide.

However, as mentioned earlier, to complete the DPF delete process, the DPF pressure and temperature sensors must be disconnected. In the following section, we will show you the location of these sensors, along with reference images to help you identify them.

Ford Transit Sensors Location

DPF temperature sensors:

The exhaust/DPF temperature sensors are mounted on the exhaust pipe:

  • One before the DPF (to monitor temperature entering the filter)
  • One after the DPF (to monitor the temperature leaving the filter)

DPF pressure sensors:

Look low down on the bulkhead, roughly behind the battery box (RWD) or brake servo (FWD).

You’ll see two thin heat-resistant hoses rising up from under the van and connecting to the sensor.

The electrical plug faces upward; squeeze the tab to release it.
