Hino P2459 Fault Code: FREQUENT REGENERATION

17/10/2025

Technical Description 

  • ECU constantly calculate and accumulate the amount of  soot deposit from the engine. 
  • Moreover, based on the accumulated amount, the  regeneration interval is determined. 

description of malfunction

Failure is detected for DPR prescribed regeneration interval.

DTC set condition

DTC Detection Condition:

  • The engine must not be stopped.
  • Calculated amount of DPR filter soot buildup ≥ regeneration threshold value.

Judgment Criteria:

There was a difference between the actual amount of soot deposit calculation and the ideal amount of soot deposit calculation.

Reset condition

Immediately after normal operation is restored and DPR-related memory is reset.

Indication, warning or system control regulation when the dtc is set

  • MIL: ON
  • SVS light: OFF

Pre – inspection work

Check that the battery voltage is in the normal range.

After – inspection work

  • Clear all past DTCs.
  • Check that no DTC is stored after test drive.

Possible causes

Abnormality in the soot calculation area, such as the atmospheric

pressure sensor, within ECU is suspected.

Inspection procedure troubleshooting steps

Step 1) Check the DTC detected (Engine ECU) [Diagnostic Tool].

  1. Set the starter switch to the “LOCK” position.
  2. Connect the vehicle to the diagnostic tool.
  3. Set the starter switch to the “ON” position.
  4. Select [Engine] and check if any DTC other than P2459 has been detected.

Has a DTC other than P2459 been detected?

Yes – Go to diagnosis procedure of a related DTC. No – Go to Step 2.

Step 2) Check the DTC detected (Engine ECU) [Diagnostic Tool].

  1. Erase the trouble history.
  2. Set the starter switch to the “LOCK” position.
  3. Make sure the engine ECU main relay is OFF in the diagnostic tool menu. (This cuts off the communication between the diagnostic tool and the engine ECU).
  4. Set the starter switch to the “ON” position.
  5. Select [Engine] and check if DTC has been detected.

Has P2459 been detected?

Yes – Replace the engine ECU.

Clear all past DTCs. Check that no DTC is detected after test drive.

No – Procedure completed.

Clear all past DTCs. Check that no DTC is detected after test drive.
