I think you'll need to correctly diagnose this somehow - either get hold of a tool to do it (Forscan lite and a OBDLink bluetooth adapter or some other tool that will read the DPF sensor) or take it to someone to get it diagnosed. You're flying blind at this point - and you could end up in the situation of a couple of issues with no real idea if you've created a bigger issue or you are simply chasing your tail.
Welcome to the world of emissions control electronics... When you had the DPF out, did you check the hoses and pipes for the pressure sensor were all clear and able to work?
