i30 DPF Pressure Sensor Issue
Summary of the thread
A 2020 Hyundai i30 diesel with 119,281 km exhibited DPF malfunction symptoms, including warning lights, reduced power, smoke on acceleration, and a strong exhaust odor. Diagnostic scans indicated low DPF exhaust pressure, suggesting a potential issue with the DPF differential pressure sensor, confirmed by error code P2453. The problem was resolved by replacing the defective exhaust back pressure sensor, restoring the car's performance.

The diagnostic tool returned a P2453 code, indicating a potential issue with the DPF differential pressure sensor. Could a forced DPF regeneration cycle resolve the problem if the sensor is just giving bad readings because of a partial blockage? Trying to figure out if I should try this myself or go to a professional.

P2453 confirms the sensor issue. A forced regen might help temporarily, but if the sensor's faulty, it'll likely come back. Best bet is to get it checked properly; could save you money in the long run.

Took your advice and consulted a mechanic. Turns out it was a defective exhaust back pressure sensor. Replaced it for 245€, and the car's running great now. Thanks for the help!

Sounds like the back pressure sensor. Is it throwing any specific error codes besides low pressure? Any chance it's just clogged?
