What is CID 992 & How to Solve It?

What is CID 992:

cid 992 refers to a fault in the differential pressure sensor for the diesel particulate filter (dpf). when this sensor fails, the ecm can’t measure soot load accurately, leading to failed regenerations or reduced engine performance.

‍

Why This Happens:

• faulty differential pressure sensor.
  
• clogged dpf filter.
  
• restricted exhaust piping.
  
• shorted or open sensor wiring.
  
• corroded sensor connectors.
  
  

How to Fix It:

1. inspect dpf differential pressure lines for soot buildup.
   
2. test sensor voltage and pressure range using a diagnostic tool.
   
3. clean or replace clogged pressure hoses.
   
4. replace the differential pressure sensor if necessary.
   
5. clear the fault code and verify proper regeneration.
   
   

How to Avoid It Before It Happens:

• perform routine dpf cleanings.
  
• monitor sensor voltage regularly.
  
• prevent soot buildup with high-quality fuel and oil.
  
• clue’s fleet management software tracks aftertreatment health and prevents costly downtime due to dpf sensor faults.
