DPF Regeneration Service
The DPF function allows you to carry out numerous functions to the Diesel
Particulate Filter system without having to send your car to a main dealer. The
tool will manage DPF regeneration, DPF component replacement teach-in
and DPF teach-in after replacing the engine control unit.
ECM monitors driving style and selects a suitable time to employ regeneration.
Cars driven a lot at idling speed and low load will attempt to regenerate earlier
than cars driven more with high load and high speed. In order for regeneration
to take place, a prolonged high exhaust temperature must be obtained.
In the event of the car being driven in such a way that regeneration is not
possible, i.e. frequent short journeys, a diagnostic trouble code will eventually
be registered, DPF light and “Check Engine” indicator comes on. A service
regeneration can be requested in the workshop, using the diagnostic tool.
Before carrying out a forced DPF regeneration using the tool, check the
following items:
 The fuel light is not on.
 No DPF-relevant faults stored in system.
 The vehicle has the correct spec engine oil.
 The oil for diesel is not contaminated.
