What does it mean?
P24C6 is a Powertrain (engine, transmission, fuel system) fault code. It indicates: Manufacturer-Specific - DPF Differential Pressure Sensor Performance .
Particulate Matter Sensor Temperature Circuit
Severity
Medium
Can I keep driving?
Usually drivable, but get it diagnosed without delay.
First step
A typical diagnostic sequence used by mechanics, provided here for educational reference only. Diagnostic work should be performed by a qualified mechanic with the appropriate tools and training. 1. Visual inspect the sensor and immediate wiring, look for heat-damaged insulation, oil contamination, or corrosion 2. Resistance-test the sensor against the manufacturer's spec at room temperature, typical reading is around 200-1,000 ohms cold 3. Read live data on both DPF temperature sensors, the values should track similarly during normal driving and diverge predictably during regen 4. Check the connector for damage or backed-out pins 5. If sensor and wiring are clean, condition has likely killed the sensor element internally; replacement is the answer
