Particulate Matter Sensor Regeneration Gate Valve Stuck Open

What it means

The Engine Control Module (ECM) has detected that the PM sensor's internal heater or protective gate valve is not cycling correctly, remaining in the open position. This prevents the sensor from properly 'cleaning' itself of soot accumulation during its internal regeneration cycle.
