Would like to test the DPFE sensor before putting it on the truck. Is this possible?

Thanks!

Not very well.
It requires power and vacuum, plus instrumentation and test parameters.
The device has electronics, pressure sensors and needs to send the computer it's pressure measurement results.
Good luck.

Sure, it's possible - for a well-equipped technician who knows how it operates and knows how to simulate its operation. For a shade tree mechanic, probably not.

Just install it and let the truck's system test it.
