Does your DPF delete keep the sensors?

Does the p2138 still come up?

The ground that's cut in the pic of your firewall/ac lines not connected should go to the gp module bracket where it attaches to the intake no?

BFT · May 13, 2013

I think that would be your main problem that you're having.

Correct

extreme3807 · May 13, 2013

Yeah I was confused on why it was cut and where it went

2008 F-250 Super Duty 6.4

Customer Concern:

The engine won't start, the starter won't engage. It came in with a faulty diesel particulate filter and sensor, they were replaced. The truck started, was driven out of the shop and now won't crank. It has a code P242D in the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).

Average Reported Mileage:
65000

Tests/Procedures:

1. Locate the Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) Sensor #3 which is the last temperature sensor at the back of the diesel particulate filter in the exhaust. It is a 2 wire sensor with a Yellow/Green (YE/GN) and Yellow/Orange (YE/OG) wire. Verify the sensor is properly connected and that the pins of the connector are making good connection to the sensor.

2. If the connections are OK, check the resistance of the sensor. The sensor should show roughly:
237 ohms @ 122*F
275 ohms @ 212*F
348 ohms @ 392*F

If the sensor is showing extremely high resistance or open circuit, suspect a faulty sensor. Replace as needed and recheck operation.

I'd redo that firewall ground, and make sure you wrap that exposed battery cable. Thats just a fire waiting to happen.

If i had a truck of that caliber i would re-do that whole cluster there with 0 gauge amp wire or something.

Btw, what are you using to view the codes and check data while trying to start it? I have access to a lot of diagnostic info but i need more data.

Edge cts insight it looks like

If it were mine I'd redo it for sure, but at the very least I'd get the exposed terminals covered up.

I uncovered the battery cables to clean them last night, they were wrapped up and I will wrap them up again. I'm using the CTS to view everything

Ok, any chance you could get your hands on a snap-on modis or something like that?

Thanks, I'm grabbing dinner now but I'll die back into it here shortly. I have a buddy bringing his scanner over tomorrow. I'll probably start tracing every connection in the engine and look for one that might have came unhooked

With all that exhaust plumbing you may even have a cable or wire with melted insulation, which obviously would cause a multitude of issues from shorting out to a fault or dead to ground.
