Year of construction: 2010.

Every 3 to 4 weeks, a "Diesel Particulate Filter" warning light illuminates on the instrument panel. It usually disappears after a longer drive. Since this has been happening more frequently, I decided to investigate.
No error codes are present, but the measured soot mass is negative. I installed a new differential pressure sensor and calibrated it using the basic settings. The measured soot mass is still negative.
The instructions state that you can program it using "Coding 2." However, I can't click on that field in the vehicle's settings.

Does anyone have any ideas?
Thank you very much.
