P249F: Excessive Time To Enter Closed Loop Particulate Filter Regeneration Control

Standardized SAE J2012 code · P24xx — Auxiliary emission controls

What does P249F mean?

The DPF regeneration controller cannot transition into its closed-loop temperature control quickly enough - typically because EGT does not rise to setpoint within the calibrated window.

The code tells you which monitor failed, not which part is broken. Test before replacing parts.

Symptoms

  • Check engine light or DPF warning light on
  • Power loss / limp mode
  • Increased fuel consumption
  • Failed forced regeneration attempts

Common causes

  • High EGT rise too slow
