WHAT THIS FAULT CODE MEANS
The P2463 fault code indicates excessive soot accumulation inside the diesel particulate filter.
The engine control unit calculates soot loading using pressure sensors, exhaust temperature monitoring and regeneration data. When soot levels exceed safe limits the ECU triggers limp mode to protect the engine.
