Laroal DPF exhaust differential pressure sensor 3M5A-5L200-AB – Ford

Laroal – DPF differential pressure sensor, replacement for 3M5A-5L200-AB

Function

The sensor measures the difference in exhaust pressure before and after the diesel particulate filter. On this basis the engine controller assesses how full the DPF is and decides on regeneration. A faulty sensor causes errors, limp mode or too frequent regenerations.

Applications

• replacement numbers: 3M5A-5L200-AB, 3M5A5L200AB, 1415606,
• stated models: Ford C-Max, Focus, Galaxy, Kuga, Mondeo, S-Max and Volvo C30, C70, S40 and related models with diesel engines,
• two nozzles for vacuum lines and an electrical connector.

Installation

The sensor is usually located in the engine bay near the DPF filter. When replacing it, it is also worth checking the condition of the vacuum lines – a cracked hose causes similar symptoms to a faulty sensor.

Vehicle fitment

Before ordering, compare the part number (OE or catalog) with the number on the part removed from the car, or check it in the vehicle manufacturer's catalog by VIN. The list of applications is for information only – fitment depends on the match of the part number, dimensions and connectors. Installation is best left to a workshop experienced with the given system.
