Diesel Particulate Filter Regeneration DPF Soot Accumulation • Over time, the diesel particulate filter accumulates soot in the soot filter. The computer for the engine monitors the soot level in the DPF. The diesel particulate filter (DPF) is part of the exhaust system. The diesel-oxidation catalyst of the DPF reduces harmful gasses and the soot filter removes soot from the engine exhaust. • When enough soot accumulates, the computer informs you that it is time to regenerate the DPF.
InfoCenter Advisory and Engine Warning Messages—Ash Accumulation Indication Level Fault Code Level 1: Engine Warning Engine Speed Reduction Engine Power Rating Recommended Action None The computer de-rates the engine power to 85%.
