The ECM monitors driving style and selects a suitable time to employ
regeneration. Cars driven primarily at idling speed and low load will attempt
to regenerate earlier than cars driven with higher loads and at higher speed.
For regeneration to occur, a prolonged high exhaust temperature must be
obtained.
In the event that the vehicle has been driven in such a way that regeneration
is not possible, a diagnostic trouble code will be registered, DPF light and
“Check Engine” indicator will display. A service regeneration can be
performed using this tool.
Before carrying out a forced DPF regeneration, check the following items:
The fuel light is not on.
No DPF-relevant faults are stored in system.
The vehicle has the correct spec engine oil.
The oil for diesel is not contaminated.
IMPORTANT
Before diagnosing a vehicle and attempting to perform an emergency
regeneration, it is important to obtain a full diagnostic log and read out
relevant measured value blocks.
NOTE
1. The DPF will not regenerate if the engine management light is on, or
there is a faulty EGR valve.
2. The ECU must be re-adapted when replacing the DPF and adding the
fuel additive Eolys.
3. If the vehicle needs to be driven in order to perform a DPF service,
ALWAYS have a second person help you. One person should drive the
vehicle while the other person observes the screen on the Tool. Trying
to drive and observe the Scan Tool at the same time is dangerous, and
could cause a serious traffic accident.
