Back pressure

Good morning all.

Anyone know what the back pressure means at 8192.0 with the car off? According to Gemini it means faulty wiring, it thinks it's the female pins which connect to the dpf sensor are not tight enough. I have checked the voltage which is 5v. Please see attached.

Thanks, I suppose the cheapest option is to buy a new dpf sensor and try that first.
