Bosch 0281007518 Diesel Particulate Sensor

Bosch PM Sensor for Diesel Emissions Control

The Bosch Particulate Matter Sensor, part number 0281007518, provides direct soot concentration measurement for diesel aftertreatment monitoring. It is built for precise real-time feedback to the ECU, helping maintain Diesel Particulate Filter performance on 2017-2019 Ford F-250 Super Duty and 2017-2019 Ford F-350 Super Duty applications.

As part of Bosch’s Particulate Matter Sensor line, this diesel particulate sensor uses resistive measurement technology rather than an indirect soot estimate. That direct data helps the engine control system manage regeneration events more accurately, supporting cleaner exhaust operation and more stable DPF service intervals.

Key Features

• Direct particulate matter sensing for DPF monitoring
• Bosch Particulate Matter Sensor line for diesel aftertreatment systems
• 4-terminal blade connection with female connector and male terminals
• Wiring harness length: 598
• OE-trusted design for diesel emission control service
• Part number 0281007518 for application matching and lookup

Detailed Product Overview

Bosch 0281007518 is a diesel particulate sensor used to measure soot concentration downstream in the emission control system. By sending accurate particulate data to the ECU, the sensor helps the system determine when DPF regeneration is actually needed, rather than relying on indirect estimates. That can reduce unnecessary regeneration cycles, limit ash accumulation, and support longer service life for aftertreatment components. This part cross-references Ford JC3Z5L239A for the same application.

Compatible With 2017-2019 Ford F-250 Super Duty, particulate matter sensor position, and 2017-2019 Ford F-350 Super Duty, particulate matter sensor position. The Bosch 0281007518 is a direct-fit style replacement for diesel emission control service on these Super Duty trucks.

Common Issues This Sensor Helps Address

• Incorrect soot readings in the DPF monitoring system
• Unnecessary diesel particulate filter regeneration events
• Reduced fuel efficiency caused by frequent regeneration
• Excess ash buildup in aftertreatment components
• Emission control warning lights related to particulate sensing faults

Installation Notes

Verify connector style, terminal count, and harness routing before installation. This sensor uses a female connector, male blade terminals, and a 4-terminal layout, so matching the OE-style connection is important for proper fitment. Confirm the vehicle application against the part number 0281007518 and the listed Ford Super Duty fitment before replacement.

Quality Assurance

Bosch supplies particulate matter sensors to the aftermarket with OE-level application coverage and the same sensor technology trusted by original equipment manufacturers. The Bosch Particulate Matter Sensor line is engineered for durable, accurate soot measurement in diesel emission control systems.
