ENG 3766

New Holland ENG 3766 – ENGINE: Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Pressure Sensor: Fault check for the pressure sensor plausibility

Issue description

The Engine Control Unit is receiving a signal from the DPF differential pressure sensor that does not make sense given the current engine operating conditions (implausible reading). This usually points to a failing sensor, a blocked/leaking sensor hose, or a wiring issue.

Applies to these machines

  • TD5.85
  • TD5.95
  • TD5.105
  • TD5.115
  • T5.95
  • T5.105
  • T5.115
  • L220
  • SR175

Check the cause

  1. Inspect the DPF pressure sensor hoses for cracks, melting, blockages (soot buildup), or disconnection.

  2. Check the electrical connector at the DPF pressure sensor for corrosion, pushed-out pins, or moisture, and verify correct reference voltage and ground from the EDC.

  3. Check for exhaust leaks upstream of the DPF that could skew the pressure differential readings.

Repair steps

  1. Disconnect battery

    Turn off the machine and disconnect the battery to prevent electrical shorts.

  2. Locate sensor

    Locate the DPF Differential Pressure Sensor (typically mounted on a bracket near the DPF assembly, with two hoses routing to the exhaust pipe).

  3. Disconnect harness

    Disconnect the electrical harness connector from the sensor.

  4. Remove pressure hoses

    Carefully loosen the clamps and remove the two pressure hoses from the bottom of the sensor. Note which hose goes to the upstream port and which goes to the downstream port.

  5. Remove sensor

    Unbolt the sensor from its mounting bracket and remove it.

  6. Install new sensor

    Install the new sensor onto the bracket.

  7. Reconnect pressure hoses

    Reconnect the pressure hoses to their correct ports and secure them with clamps.

  8. Reconnect harness

    Reconnect the electrical harness.

  9. Reconnect battery

    Reconnect the battery.

  10. Clear fault code

    Use a compatible diagnostic service tool to clear the ENG 3766 fault code. Note: If the Engine Controller (EDC) was also replaced or flashed during this process, you must follow the appropriate service tool procedure to restore self-learning parameters.
