P244D on Ford
Exhaust Temperature Too High for Particulate Filter Regeneration (Bank 1)
P244D on Ford vehicles indicates exhaust temperature too high for particulate filter regeneration (bank 1). Au7o has documented this code across 1 Ford model — most commonly on Fiesta. Generic diesel code indicating exhaust gas temperature at Bank 1 rose above the safe threshold during particulate filter regeneration. Excessive regen temperature can damage the DPF, so the PCM flags it and may abort regeneration. Typical repair costs on Ford range from $400 to $2,500, depending on the specific model and root cause.
Common Causes of P244D
- •Over-fueling / faulty post-injection (dosing) control
- •Excessive soot load causing runaway burn
- •Faulty EGT sensor reading
- •Stuck/leaking injector
- •DPF pressure sensor fault

- TDCi Diesel DPF Blockage & Failed Regeneration (Short-Trip Use)2011-2019
Diesel Fiestas frequently suffer diesel particulate filter (DPF) blockage and incomplete/failed regeneration, especially on cars used mainly for short, low-speed journeys that never reach regeneration temperature. Soot accumulates, the DPF warning light appears, and the car may enter limp mode or dump excess fuel into the oil during failed active regens (raising oil level and diluting it). Underlying triggers are often other faults — a leaking/faulty injector, stuck EGR, blocked intake, or failed DPF differential-pressure/EGT sensor — so the blocked DPF is frequently a symptom rather than the root cause.

What does P244D mean on Ford?▼
P244D stands for "Exhaust Temperature Too High for Particulate Filter Regeneration (Bank 1)." Generic diesel code indicating exhaust gas temperature at Bank 1 rose above the safe threshold during particulate filter regeneration. Excessive regen temperature can damage the DPF, so the PCM flags it and may abort regeneration. On Ford specifically, this code is documented across 1 model.
What causes P244D on Ford vehicles?▼
Common causes on Ford: Over-fueling / faulty post-injection (dosing) control, Excessive soot load causing runaway burn, Faulty EGT sensor reading, Stuck/leaking injector, DPF pressure sensor fault. Specific causes vary by model and year — see the per-model sections below.
How much does it cost to fix P244D on a Ford?▼
Repair costs on Ford range from $400 to $2,500, depending on the specific model and root cause.
